New touring members joined after the album was recorded: Sean Woolstenhulme (guitars), Billy Mohler (bass), and Nate Wood (drums). Band and Kamin returned in June 2004 with Two (also known as 'II'). New touring musicians were hired: Daniel Damico (guitars), Justin Derrico (gutars), Corey Britz (bass), and Justin Meyer (drums). Despite radio-friendly tracks and an enthusiastic fan response, the album failed to meet commercial expectations, leading to tension between the group and the label.
In June 2005, the band announced they were going on hiatus, and frontman Alex Band announced plans to publish a solo album. Alex finished recording his album, entitled We've All Been There, and released it in May 2010, with the first single "Tonight" released the preceeding February. Alex also pre-released the album through a bracelet line called Blackstar Bracelets, which can be purchased at a number of department stores in the U.S. as well as online.
The Calling reformed in 2013, with a new line-up still featuring Alex Band, and this incarnation of the band played its first gig on August 16 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The otherwise joyous event was marred by a kidnapping incident involving Band, with the musician beaten-up and then dumped after being mugged. Having recovered, the group is currently touring for its cult fanbase.
Wherever You Are
The Calling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
The Calling's song "Wherever You Are" is a poignant track that speaks to the nature of love, distance, and devotion. The song is about a person who is leaving someone they love behind, either due to a break-up or death, and wondering who will take their place when they're gone. The lyrics convey the sense of a deep, all-encompassing love that does not end with physical separation.
The first verse of the song focuses on the singer's concern for their love when they're no longer there. They ask themselves who will be there to take their place when they're gone, and note that their love will need light to guide them through the shadows of life. The second verse speaks to the idea that distance may separate them, but their love will survive. The singer hopes that someone will be there to guide them back to their love, and the final verse speaks to the idea that their love will stay with them always, even after they're gone.
The chorus of the song is about the singer's commitment to their love. They sing, "If I could, then I would, I'll go wherever you will go. Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go." This is a declaration of the depth of their love and the lengths they would go to be with their partner.

So lately, I've been wonderin
I have been questioning lately
Who will be there to take my place
Who will fill the void that I will leave
When I'm gone, you'll need love
When I am no longer here, you will require affection
To light the shadows on your face
To brighten the darkness on your countenance
If a great wave should fall
In the event of a powerful wave crashing
It would fall upon us all
All of us would be affected
And between the sand and stone
Amidst the grains and rocks
Could you make it on your own
Would you be able to survive alone
If I could, then I would
If it were possible, I would
I'll go wherever you will go
I will follow you anywhere
Way up high or down low
Whether up in the sky or down below
And maybe, I'll find out
Perhaps I will discover
The way to make it back someday
A method to return someday
To watch you, to guide you
To observe you, to lead you
Through the darkest of your days
During the bleakest moments of your life
Well I hope there's someone out there
I sincerely wish that there is someone
Who can bring me back to you
Who can reunite me with you
Runaway with my heart
Take my heart and flee
Runaway with my hope
Take my hope and escape
Runaway with my love
Take my love and depart
I know now, just quite how
I now understand precisely how
My life and love might still go on
My life and love may persist
In your heart and your mind
In your heart and in your thoughts
I'll stay with you for all of time
I will remain with you indefinitely
If I could turn back time
If I could reverse time
I'll go wherever you will go
I will follow you anywhere
If I could make you mine
If I could have you as mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I will follow you anywhere

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Well then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go

My wife used to sing this to me all the time. She passed away last June. The pain and tears always fall soon as I start to hear the beginning of this song. I would do anything to follow her wherever she went. So much they locked me in Mental Health Ward for 3 months after she passed after I almost succeeded in following her. Brandi M Wohl, I will love you till the day I die. Then I will love you till the end of time. I will never find someone as amazing and perfect as you. Goodbye my love, my best friend, my soulmate, my everything. My world is empty without you.

Sorry for the loss of your love. Thank you for sharing. Sounds like an amazing woman!! Salute
@pandap0i
Sorry for your loss but, you will meet her again, when the proper time comes, she would want you to be happy until she can be with you again, eternally... she would be sad if you did something silly... so please... live happy... she would want that for you

Sie lebt weiter in deinem Herzen, durch dich, durch deine Erinnerungen... so lange du selbst lebst.
Würde sie wollen, dass du dich in der Kälte verlierst?
