I was working in Sacramento as a Program Director for 4 radio stations last year, needless to say it was a lot of work. For whatever reason one night I was still there and working on chopping up an audio interview, it was late I looked up at the clock it was 1am, what I thought was just a few minutes later... it was 4 am! Then this song came to me... complete with lyrics, of course the "press yourself on" came from the audio interview I was working on. I was tempted to place that audio clip in the song in a spaced out way, maybe in another version down the road. The Randy California / Spirit background psychedelic guitar reflected how I felt at 4am. I recorded the first demo of it in the production room of the radio station and finished the demo just before our news guy came in.

Before I even got the album pressed, Global Rhythm Magazine placed A Call to Action on their January / February 2008 Collector's CD, their review: "There's a bit of the desert in Arizona-based Laurie Larson's stately folk-pop songs. Her zephyr-like tenor brings a solitary, mournful air to the opening of "A Call to Action", pushing the song into a double-time beat that flies by like the mile markers on an open highway."

I woke up
Everything’s changed
Got this feelin’
I have to get ready
A call to action

Press yourself on
Begin the new dawn
A call to action

A new paradigm
A new time
A call to action

Press yourself on
Past be gone
Let yourself go
A call to action
A chain reaction
A call to action
