Call My Name

Frank Holweger from Berlin, Germany



Frank Holweger: Text & Music, Guitars, Additional Keyboards, Programming
Frank Scholz: Vocals, Piano, Organ, Keyboards

My name is Frank Holweger and I was born in Rathenow, Germany. I'm 36 and live with my wife and my 3-year old twins in Berlin. My greatest hobby, making or working with music, is now my job. I'm specialized in music/songs for children and cleanig up audiofiles from vinyl and tape to the so-called "CD-Quality".

I have been a Chris-de-Burgh-Fan since the Mid-80's. The music of CdeB was and is the center of my musical interest and "Revolution" was the song that started me playing the guitar. I chose "Call My Name" because war has always been a dominating topic in the work of CdeB.

Almost every song I wrote or write is something inspired by CdeB. "Call My Name" is something special, because it goes back to 1986 when I first heard the Song "Say Goodbye To It All". It is one of my favourites, especially played live with full band. I couldn't get the line "...We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold..." out of my mind. I had no idea, what these names stood for. So I was interested. More than 10 years later I visited the D-Day museum in Bayeux, France and there I saw a letter written by a GI. I was very impressed by the words he wrote to his wife and little child he left in a village or little town near LA.

I re-recorded this Version of "Call My Name" with my friend Frank Scholz especially for the CdeB-Inspired-Song-Contest. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Time goes on, there is no doubt
You are the one
I had a vision, a family in luck
But now it's gone
I hear my country
I have to go
I have to finish the bitter war
I never thought that I could miss the desert of L.A.
Goodbye
I leave my country
I save the world
Stars and stripes take care of me
I hear your cry but I have to go
Stay at your window
Please call my name
Wait until the day comes
I'll be back, and then darling we will be free
Close your eyes, believe what you see
Tomorrow the hell
Of Omaha and Gold
I hold your picture
I talk to you
At the end the last goodbye
I hear your cry but I have to fight
Stay at your window
Please call my name
Wait until the day comes
I'll be back, And then darling we will be free
Close your eyes, believe what you see
I see bibles, I see tears
I see blood in the sand
I hear thunder, I hear crying
I hear voices from beyond
Stay in California
Take care of our child
Remember me when everything is over
And then darling I will be free
Close your eyes, believe what you see
Yes only believe in the hopes of your dreams
Stay
