Lyrics:

We found each other
I helped you out of a broken place
You gave me comfort
But falling for you was my mistake

I put you on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

So call out my name
Call out my name when I kiss you so gently
I want you to stay
I want you to stay, even though you don't want me
Girl, why can't you wait?
Girl, why can't you wait 'til I fall out of love?
Won't you call out my name?
Girl, call out my name, and I'll be on my way and
I'll be on my

I said I didn't feel nothing baby, but I lied
I almost cut a piece of myself for your life
Guess I was just another pit stop
'Til you made up your mind
You just wasted my time

You're on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly, babe
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

So call out my name
So call out my name when I kiss you
So gently, I want you to stay
I want you to stay even though you don't want me
Girl, why can't you wait?
Girl, why can't you wait 'til I fall out of loving?
Babe, call out my name
Girl, call out my name, and I'll be on my way girl
I'll be on my
On my way, all the way

Brooklyn Duo Bio:

Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 500,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.

On a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover of her song Empire and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged the couple to continue creating videos.

Since then, Marnie and Patrick have released over 70 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 7 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Taylor Swift (who also tweeted about them, saying their cover of her song “Blank Space” sounded "like a song people should walk down the aisle to"). In 2016, the couple started a second YouTube channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience. With this new channel, Marnie and Patrick aim to showcase high quality, live performances of classical music. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets and percussionist Ivan Trevino.

In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect, a collective of some of the best young musicians in the U.S., to produce a cover of a-ha’s “Take On Me”. The video went viral and garnered millions of views in just a few months. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” One of their covers was also recently featured in an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.

[TheTheorist]

Guys this is amazing, I can't stop listening! You make me want to learn the cello.

[beckybaker]

There’s just something about deep notes on the cello that I love so much

[mighty_mulder]

I honestly think this is one of the best covers you two have done. Wow.

[harris]

THEY FUCLING NAILED THE OUTRO CLEAN AF

[nickoftime]

Thought my man was having a fit of rage at 2:50, but it turned out to be a beautiful transition ❤️

[Georgiagracesmith]

You guys have to do more covers of the Weeknd's music!

[JohnSmith-sbtr]

I heard the first two seconds and immediately knew that this would be one of my favourites.

[Michaela_]

This is amazing. Truly. Here doing homework in tears at my imaginary heartbreak. Asked my husband to leave me but only for a lil' bit so I can relate to this song. LOL.

[jem]

I like how the pianist is not the accompanist the whole time and u guys let eachother play and accompany for eachother

[electricfirework]

WHY AM I ONLY DISCOVERING THIS AMAZING ART NOW??? AND WHY DOES IT NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS??!?!?!?

[marielaavila]

Once that cello started i felt my heart melt!!

[STUDINTHEWALL]

The emotion in the this arrangement is awesome 👌🙌

[BriefcaseShane]

That transition from the cello doing the words on the hook to the piano doing the words on the second verse had me shook! I wasn't ready for that and I didn't even catch the switch for about 10 seconds. What a incredible touch to an even more impressive cover.

[marysheerin]

A beautiful arrangement - so evocative and soulful. The piano arrangement and playing are wonderful and yes, I see what you mean about Patrick's vibrato and there is a similarity there with the vocal arrangement. For me, Brooklyn Duo's arrangement is far superior to the original. Thank you both from Mary in Dublin, Ireland.

[qqbiilh]

Wow....I'm speechless..I literally got lost in tranquilty!!

[JaynnC]

Your child is incredibly lucky to be blessed with two enormously talented and creative parents.

[slash]

Okay seriously why is this one best covers I've ever heard before

[ineedamoonsong]

THIS. When I said I felt EVERYTHING, every single note hit me to rock bottom. I fell into a bottomless pit and oh my god. The chills ran through me of how touching and sorrowful this beauty sounds! Tears streaming down my face as I listen gracefully. Even though I already know the lyrics to this song, this masterpiece couldn’t even describe all the emotions I’ve felt differently.

You guys are AMAZING! Keep doing what you guys do! 💜

[plantvegan]

The sound soothes the ache I feel inside. It's medicine for the soul, Beautifully done. Thank you.
