A heart wrenching ballad, this song's strength lies in its powerful lyrics. Victor claimed the phrase, ‘Call me if you need me. Don’t call just to say ‘hello’’ as his own. A sentiment that each of us has wanted to express at some point in our lives.
Artist picture
Eljam’s music is driven by powerful lyrics and equally robust guitar riffs. Victor McGhee wrote most of the lyrics and the general melodies for the tunes, with each band member usually writing his own part. Mike Wich played guitar, Billy Armstrong played bass and Paul Vourderis played drums. Victor also played rhythm guitar and was the lead singer, while Mike occasionally provided back-up vocals. Thanks to 2006 technology, Victor appears on this compilation from 2499 miles away in Phoenix, Arizona. His parts were recorded in Black Canyon City Studio. Due to circumstances beyond our control, an understudy (Mike) played all of the instruments. With respects to Billy’s massive bass lines, Paul’s innovative drum style and Victor’s Ovation-based acoustic rhythm guitar playing, Mike has tried to be as true as possible to the original performances of the original members of the band.

Story behind the song
A past love sent me a valetine's day card and made plans with me to get together. At the last minute she cancelled and I never saw her again. The last verse of the song came about from a misunderstanding among a couple of guys in the band (you know who you are, LOL)
Lyrics
Fifty Percent Sincere You said you’d be over soon, I scrubbed all the walls for you. You called me up, you’re on the moon. It only takes one night to change your tune, The Valentine you sent to me Still sits there on the shelf. I don’t want you for my valentine If I can’t have you for myself. Call me if you need me, Don’t call just to say “Hello” I’d like to know just where I stand, But I know it would hurt so. Call me if you need me, Don’t call just to say “Hello” I’d like to know just where I stand. The looks you think I give to you Are nothing but subconscious playing tricks on you. I never said a thing that didn’t have praise for you So why don’t you just let it roll, And not let it bother you? Call me if you need me, Don’t call just to say “Hello” I’d like to know just where I stand, But I know it would hurt so. Call me if you need me, Don’t call just to say “Hello” I’d like to know just where I stand. The Valentine you sent to me Still sits there on the shelf. I don’t want you for my valentine If I can’t have you for myself. Call me if you need me, Don’t call just to say “Hello” I’d like to know just where I stand, But I know it would hurt so. Call me if you need me, Don’t call just to say “Hello” I’d like to know just where I stand.
