Wherever You Will Go

The guitarist of The Calling, Aaron Kamin, wrote this song which caught on with the touching message of following someone to the ends of the earth. Aaron explained in a radio interview: "At the time my grandmother's best friend had passed away and she left behind a husband of 50 or more years and I was at the funeral and afterwards I just started thinking of what it would be like to be him and have your whole life change so dramatically and not for the best in a matter of moments. Somebody that you live and grow with and are one with, just to be gone, is crazy and I figured all he ever thinks about probably is finding a way to get back to her or be with her or make sure she's alright or something like that. That was the sentiment behind that." The Calling lead singer Alex Band is also credited as a songwriter on the track.

There are two versions of this video. The first was made in Mexico and the other, better known version was made in an LA sewer. Nigel Dick, who directed the LA video, realized they had to make a new one because the first one didn't fit well with the song. The new one did extremely well on MTV's Total Request Live.

"Wherever You Will Go" was the first single for The Calling, getting them off to a great start. The Camino Palmero album was a surprise hit, selling over 800,000 copies, but it caused a lot of tension in the band. Drummer Nate Wood and bass player Billy Mohler left in 2003 and sued Kamin and lead singer Alex Band, claiming they were not properly paid for their contributions. Kamin and Band released one more album as The Calling - Two in 2004 - then called it quits in 2005.
