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 will go
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 shall fall
And fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
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
The lyrics to The Calling's song Wherever You Will Go appear to be about undying love and devotion. The singer seems to be addressing a lover or a loved one and expressing concern about who will be there for them when he is gone. The lines "When I'm gone, you'll need love to light the shadows on your face" suggests that the singer is aware that his presence brings light and positivity to the life of the person he is addressing.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "If I could, then I would. I'll go wherever you will go", which suggests that the singer is willing to go to any length, no matter how high or low, to be with the person he loves. This is further highlighted by the lines "Run away with my heart, run away with my hope, run away with my love". The singer wants the person he is addressing to take everything that is important to him and keep it safe.
The lines "If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all, then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own?" suggest that the singer is aware that life can be unpredictable and chaotic, and he wants to make sure the person he loves is prepared for any eventuality. Overall, the song is a touching expression of love and devotion that will last for all of time.

So lately, been wondering
I have been pondering and questioning lately
Who will be there to take my place
Who will replace me when I am gone
When I'm gone, you'll need love
You will need love when I am no longer here
To light the shadows on your face
To bring happiness to your life when you feel sad
If a great wave shall fall
In times of trouble and chaos
And fall upon us all
And affect all of us
Then between the sand and stone
In difficult times we may feel stuck in place
Could you make it on your own?
Do you have the strength to survive on your own?
If I could, then I would
If it were possible, I would do anything
I'll go wherever you will go
I will follow you anywhere
Way up high or down low
Through the good times and bad times
And maybe, I'll find out
Perhaps someday I will discover
A way to make it back someday
A method to return to you in the future
To watch you, to guide you
To protect and support you through difficult times
Through the darkest of your days
During the most challenging times in your life
Well then I hope there's someone out there
I hope there is someone to take care of you
Who can bring me back to you
Who can reunite us
Run away with my heart
I give my heart to you
Run away with my hope
I entrust my hope to you
Run away with my love
I flee with you holding onto my love
I know now, just quite how
I understand now, exactly how
My life and love might still go on
My life and love could continue without you
In your heart, in your mind
I will always be with you emotionally and mentally
I'll stay with you for all of time
I will be by your side forever
If I could turn back time
If only I could change the past
I'll go wherever you will go
I will follow you anywhere
If I could make you mine
If only I could be with you
I'll go wherever you will go
I will follow you anywhere

As a hopeless romantic, this song holds a special place in my heart. I first heard it way back in the day on the show Smallville and I can never forget it.
