Written by Andrew Eldritch, Ben Christo and Dylan Smith.
The Sisters of mercy performed I will call you live for the first time on march 8th 2020.
No official lyrics are available but this thread help me a lot to get something to sing.
www.myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=682299 . I have listened to most liverecordings of I will call you but I have never ever heard what Andrew sings on the bridge between the So do I-lines so I just did some aaaaaaaaaaaaah. I might record a new version if the lyrics will be available.
I didn't plan to release I will call you as my next Sisters-related cover but when I got my guitar back from service I got so excited I recorded the song during two weekends in a row.
Drums are Toontrack's EZdrummer and my new favorite EZX (expansion-pack) Synthwave.
Bass is a synthbass dubbed by my electric Gibson Les Paul.
Ben's guitarmelody is played by two guitars and also a keyboard in the background.
Dylan's rhythm guitars are dubbed through the whole song and for the choruses I also downtuned the guitar one half-step and recorded two more guitars to get some heavy free strings going on.
The leadvocals on the verses are dubbed and on the choruses I added a third lead along with two backing vocals.
When all instruments were recorded I exported some of them into a rough mix and then imported it again for the part before the second verse. I distorted it and added some pan-action.
Lyrics:
We're at an intersection
We're on the way
There's a road out there
All guns, all day
I will call you a rocketship
I will call you from afar
There's a room in a room out there
I will call you a car
It's all about the jacknife
I don't remember the name
Truck stop, don't stop
I don't remember the shame
aaaah
So do I

Guys, thank you so much for making these Sisters vids. Until Eldritch produces studio versions , you covers are the only clear audio we have, our only opportunity to fully enjoy the songs. As a long-term Sisters fan, I'm profoundly grateful. (And if you cover 'Will I Dream', I'll be even more grateful.) Superb stuff.
