  • A desert road from vegas to nowhere
    some place better than where you're been
    A coffee machine that needs some fixing
    In a little cafe just around the bend
    I am calling you
    Can't you hear me
    I am calling you
    A hot dry wind blows right through me
    The baby's crying and I can't sleep
    But we both know a change is coming
    coming closer, sweet release
    I am calling you
    I know you hear me
    I am calling you
    I am calling you
    I know you hear me
    I am calling you
    A desert road from vegas to nowhere
    Some place better than where you've been
    A coffee machine that needs some fixing
    In a little cafe just around the bend
    A hot dry wind blows right through me
    The baby's crying and I can't sleep
    And I can feel a change is coming
    coming closer, sweet release
    I am calling you
    can't you hear me
    I am calling you

    Oh THIS is why I love UA-cam. I fell in love with this song after seeing Bagdad Cafe back in the 80s and then never heard it again. I’ve been singing it to myself ever since. Sitting here crying to be able to listen to the real song again after all these years... Thank you so much...🙏💕

    I saw the movie in the eighties when I was a little girl with my mom in the bed and when this song came on I was absorbed by it and it made me feel so free and so sad at the same time. 30 years later I find this video and I still remember that moment in bed with my mom watching the movie and hearing this song.....So beautiful ❤️⭐️✨🦋

Now they are all gone in other directions. This song evokes memories from the first time that you heard it and the singer's voice haunts you as she sings, calling to someone, idk about wanting relief and change in her life. It's what I crave now at 63 as I am being called . . . - God bless, J 🙏💕

    I can't sleep and listening to this song in a middle of the night, takes me to an imaginary scene where I took my mother to a place with a nice view , she likes beaches, so I was there with her, holding her hand, hugging her and giving her a kiss on her cheek and saying I love you mom, thank you for everything. My mom is in her battle with breast cancer, all my life what I can remember she works so hard to feed us, to make sure we have something on our plates. My father has been taking her for granted, their relationship is very depressing to desribe. I cant recall anytime my mom has taken a vacation to a nice place not even within the country, all shes been doing is working she most of the time doesn't even have time for herself. I am stuck with my study miles away, and I still cant repay her for everything shes done for us. Right now listening to this, all I want to do is to bring her to a nice place for a treat, because she deserves beutiful things in this life, she deserves a lot more.

    Randomly this song started playing on my playlist today "Calling you" I immediately remembered the haunting melody from my childhood, one evening dad was watching TV and mom was studying in the dining room, we were already supposed to be in bed but I was out (sound familiar?) and stood in the passage above the stairs watching the TV in the reflection of the sliding door until dad saw me and I skedaddled back to bed. The movie was Bagdad Cafe and I remember the awkward lady with the suitcase when she got out of the Rolls Royce and walked to a motel. No idea how I remember that. This is from 1987 so I was about 4... and dad would have been 35 (about my age now)

    This is a hauntingly beautiful and unusual melody. It is sung, beautifully, by Jevetta Steele. This film was a gem: quirky, with interesting characters, a fascinating story line, and a mixture of drama and comedy. In 1990, I ate in the restaurant where the cafe scenes were filmed. It is in Newberry Springs, California. Many photographs from this movie were displayed on the walls of the restaurant.

And then, for the first time, I heard this song coming from an open window floating on the air like a painting from Vincent Van Gogh. I was blown away. Never forgot this.

    Just watched the movie again last night. One of my "go to" films. The song perfectly fits the mood of the the film. Whether you see semi trucks going through at sunset along the that lonely stretch of highway, or when Jasmine is deported back to Germany and the magic leaves the Bagdad Cafe, or when the boomerang clangs against the water tower, and then that haunting music is playing in the background, I oddly enough find comfort not only in that song, but I understand the need for isolation while still being connected to people and yet at times feeling totally alone and not, not liking that.
