"Calling You" is a song by Blue October. It was initially released in 2003, on the album History for Sale, peaking at number 35 on the Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart. It later gained a resurgence of popularity and radio play after it was included on the American Wedding soundtrack. It was, for a time, the group's largest mainstream hit until "Hate Me" peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006.
According to the band, "Calling You" is a fan favorite and is remixed in their album, Foiled for the Last Time.[1]
The original release of the music video documents the story of an astronaut, singing of his girlfriend or wife back home on Earth. Later on, shots of the band performing on a screen back at mission control are interspersed with clips of the capsule returning to Earth.
The song was re-released to radio in late July 2007.
An acoustic version of "Calling You" also appears at minute 10:04 of Amazing on the History For Sale Album.
The song was also featured in the preview of the third Zoey 101 TV movie "Goodbye Zoey?"
In the intro to the song "Hate Me" from the Album "Foiled" before the mother starts talking you can hear girls singing a portion of the chorus from this song and two lines are spoken in the chorus of X-Amount of Words.
