The Times Neil Diamond Nearly Killed His Career

When Merle Haggard sang “Call Me,” perhaps he was not only talking about a past love, but also quietly recounting a part of his own life—full of torment, loneliness, and a desire for forgiveness. Many years ago, in the early days of Merle’s fame, he fell in love with a simple woman in California. She was not from the music industry, and did not care about the limelight. But in her eyes, Merle found a peace that he could not find on stage or in the spotlight. They loved each other in silence, but then the life of a wandering artist did not allow him to keep his promise. She left without a word of reproach. Merle once said in a rare interview that he tried to call her back many times, but no one answered. Those calls were not just to find her, but to find himself. When he wrote or sang “Call Me,” Merle did not need to pretend to be miserable. The loneliness in his voice was real. It was the call of a man who had lost the most precious thing—the simple love he could not keep.
