Neko Case - Calling Cards Lyrics






I used a calling card of a pay phone
From the other coast
Just to tell you how good it was to hear you
In those songs you wrote

They made me think there was something coming
Really something worth waiting for
Blah, blah, blah... they talk about, oh oh

Every dial tone, every truck stop, every heartbreak,
I love you more
Looking like you just woke up from making songs,
Shooting satellites that blew up the pay phones...
Singing we'll all be together,
Even when we're not together
With our arms around each other,
With our faith still in each other

I've got calling cards
From 20 years ago.

    Astounding as usual from Neko.

    Patricks version is better.. just saying :p

  16. G.... P....

    Great video but who the heck puts videos up in 480p or less these days? It sounds and looks compressed!

    G.... P....

    Graeme Phillips your mother looks and sounds compressed O SNAP JUST WENT THERE

    This idea was sent to you for the video and you stole it. Shameful. Kudos to Patrick McPheron for being an original artist.

    D.... H....

    And a very creative artist as well!

    @Dani Humm Patrick's video, which is good, uses Neko's new music. The video is dated October 27th on Youtube. Did he get approval to post Neko's new song in full publicly, or was that video originally set to "private"? If it was private, how did the record company get access? I'm just asking; this post is intriguing to me. I'm wondering about the issues related to creative rights and whether musicians are planning to "fight back" to be paid for their original new releases. Another way to put it:  Would a record company want a suggestion for a new music video posted on Youtube, or sent to them privately via some other method?

    @Lee Alderman
    Great question!   The video link on Vimeo was given to Neko and manager through Twitter with the password in the Tweet.  After not hearing back from them it was posted publicly to YouTube.  

  18. D.... ....

    Think you guys could go with higher quality audio for the beautiful video? The high frequencies are all washed out.

  19. G.... P....

    Wow! Gorgeous song and vid - goosebumps!
