We need all the hope we can get

While U2 and REM were selling out arenas during the 80s, there was this little scrappy band called The Call, fronted by one Michael Been, that turned some impressive arena-sized albums about love, hope, anger, and faith.

“I Still Believe” remains one of my favorite songs of theirs:

It’s sad that most people know this song as played by Tim Capello, playing himself as the oily, muscle-bound sax player that covered it during one of the early scenes in The Lost Boys.

Michael Been, RIP (1950-2010)
