Call Up To Heaven è il secondo singolo estratto dall’album del 2011 Electric Hustle del duo olandese Kraak & Smaak. La voce è di Lex Empress, la front woman dei loro live show.
Il brano – un funk influenzato da sonorità pop malinconiche, caratterizzato da una melodia davvero orecchiabile – Dopo essere stato presentato in esclusiva mondiale dalla radio nazionale olandese 3FM, è diventato Tune Of The Day sulla radio americana KCRW ed è entrato nella Cool Cuts Charts inglese.
Il video ufficiale è una parodia del genere cinematografico afroamericano Blaxploitation, caratterizzato dalle colonne sonore soul & funk. Ambientato nella tipica pista da bowling americana, il video è una divertente storia in perfetto stile anni 70!
Il testo di Call Up to Heaven
I place this call just to hear your voice
I know it’s wrong but I have no choice
I’m guided by a burning flame
We’re worlds apart but we feel the same
And at the end we have one goal
To come together, connect our souls
Don’t run away ’cause you can be
That loving spirit that’s guiding me
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
You can guide me home
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
You can guide me home
Call up to heaven
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
The silences, they cut through glass
It seems as if the days won’t pass
I have to wait all patiently
For my love to return to me
I handle it well on the whole
Yet once a while I lose control
Then I pick up the phone
And I hear your name
I only have my heart to blame
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
You can guide me home
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
You can guide me home
Oh I want to scream out loud
That there is nothing wrong
With saying your name
A million times
I write it in a song
And sing it up to heaven
For you to hear
A million times
Oh I want to scream out loud
That there is nothing wrong
With saying your name
Call up to heaven
Call up to heaven
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
You can guide me home
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
You can guide me home
Call up to heaven, hey
I am ready now
You can guide me home
Call up to heaven
