1) Call is a pakistani rock band consisting of 4 member. Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan (lead guitarist/vocals);otherwise known as Xulfi, Junaid Khan on Vocals, Mohammad Sultan Raja (Bass/Rhythem Guitar), and Ken Xeerick (Session Drummer). Call is considered to be in the alternative rock genre. If you like Entity Paradigm, linkin park, roxen..you will really like Call. Songs like Wujud, Kuch Naheen, Kismet, etc really bring out the heavy metal side of the band. They are heavily influenced by Pink Floyd, Creed, and Iron Maiden.
Call was originally formed by Danish J. Khan, Khurram J. Khan, Xulfi and Omer Pervaiz. The vocalist, Danish J. Khan left in 2001 and the band was disbanded. However, the band reformed in 2002 and after a few line-up changes, released their debut album, Jilawatan in late 2005. In September 2002, Khurram Jabbar Khan, being a core member, returned from the United States to revive Call. Khurram and Xulfi got together and auditioned for new band members and decided that this would be an urdu project. They found Junaid’s voice to befitting for the band’s musical direction and recruited him as the band’s vocalist. Soon Sunny was chosen to be on lead guitar, Usman Nasir on rhythms and Sultan Raja (Xulfi’s student) on bass. Khurram joined in on drums.
The band’s first single, Nishaan was released through various Pakistani music websites and gained widespread fame. It went on to top the charts and also won the band its first award: Best Rock Song at the Band Baja Awards 2003. Indus Music made a live video of the song which was to be exclusively aired on the channel itself. Call then came up with a second single titled Pukaar, which came with a promotional video directed by Xulfi, eventually won the Indus Music Award for the Best Alternative Rock Song. The band then released an unplugged song titled Kaash.
Soon Khurram had to part roles with the band because he had to run Jilawatan Productions, the company which used to manage EP, Jal, Call and Roxen (band). Eventually Sunny and Usman left the band as well. The band said that Usman didn’t deserve to be in any band and was only there because of his brother, Sunny. Sunny, who was the real musical contributor, couldn’t contribute to the band due to his job and thus had to leave the band.
Khurram was replaced by Waqar of EP and Xulfi took Sunny and Usman’s place. A new single was released and was accompanied by a video directed by Xulfi. The song was titled Shayad and topped the charts.

2) According to their record label, Call are "an exploding mixture somewhere between Electric-Industrial, Gothic and erotomanic soundworks, unveil the synthesis of good and bad of human inner life, a bareness of desires exhibited to the outside world. Beats and sequences broken through by ecstatic, dominant vocals of CALL´s female partner Petra combine to a bizarre cocktail of lust and pain".

Keep that promise that you made
Wake me up
Keep that promise that you made
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I think of you
I look for you
(Everywhere I go)
I need you

Straight has curve
Smiles, eyes, powers to confound me
I lose my nerve
Your voice, it echoes all around me
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I look for you everywhere
(Everywhere I go)
I must have you
(Everywhere I, everywhere I, everywhere I go)
Ease me down
Keep that promise that you made to me
Take my hand
My mind reels, all my senses rise

The lyrics to Call's song Everywhere I Go is a beautiful and powerful love song that expresses the deep feelings of the singer for their loved one. They begin by asking their lover to "raise me up" and "keep that promise that you made," indicating the importance of reliability and trust in the relationship. The singer then expresses how their lover is always on their mind, "Everywhere I go, I think of you," and their longing to be with them, "I look for you, I need you, everywhere I go."
The second verse continues to describe the effect that the loved one has on the singer. They find themselves unable to resist their charm and the way they make them feel, "Straight has curve, smiles, eyes, powers to confound me." The singer's nerves are described as lost when they hear their lover's voice, which echoes all around them. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the singer's longing for their love and the importance of keeping their promise to be there for each other.
The final verse provides a resolution to the song. The singer asks their lover to "ease me down" and keep the promise they made. They are swept away by their emotions, and their mind reels, and all their senses rise at the touch of their loved one's hand. The chorus is repeated once again, this time with the singer emphasizing their need for their loved one "everywhere I go, I need you." The song ends with a final "Everywhere I go, go," solidifying the idea that their love permeates all aspects of their life and being.
