I read that the song "The call" was written by Regina Spektor to explain the final situation of the movie from the point of view of Lucy...although the first time I listened to it I thinked that it was written from the point of view of Susan...what do you think about?Does this song remind you Lucy's or Susan's point of view??:confused:
 
LOL, actually, in the context of what, erm, had just happened, my first impression was that it was about Susan just like you! :D although in a way, it would make sense with ALL of the Pevensies... :)
 
I just thought of everyone. Then I thought, "Well, neither Susan nor Peter are returning ever again while they're alive..." So now I just think it pertains to Lucy and Edmund best, since they actually will "come back when they call you." ;)
 
I think that it is for all of the Pevensies. But I see Lucy thinking about Aslan specifically when I hear the song (actually it is more like Lucy at the beginning of the song and Aslan at the end of the song). I base my decision on several things: The song talks about heading off to the War, something the book Susan didn't do; At the beginning of the song it is about how "I'll" come back when you call me; AT the end of it is about how "you'll" come back (note: You can be a plural pronoun).

I think it is mainly about Lucy and Ed, but encompasses all Pevensie children (maybe more Peter than Susan actually).
 
For me, the different verses represent different things.
The first verse is mainly for Edmund and Lucy, although kinda for all of them, because they'll come back, and they're only leaving for awhile even though it's still painful.
The second verse is for Peter, because he won't come back until it's all over--The Last Battle. But he keeps his eyes set on the bright star on the horizon, Narnia, and trusts that he'll return.
And the last verse is for Susan because she has a harder time remembering Narnia and the magic she found there and Aslan is telling her not to forget and to keep those memories true.

I think the song speaks about all the children.
 
Now that I think of it, I can see Oomy's point. I agree with it. I like the way it was explained. I will go with that from now on.
 
I thought Lucy and Aslan actually. It reminded me that Lucy was the first in Narnia and when she first entered Narnia (it started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope). You could see the look in her eyes when she saw Narnia for the first time. The Aslan part was when Lucy looked back at Aslan (No need to say goodbye) and the part (I'll come back when you call me) was obviously when Lucy is needed in Narnia again she would come back without a doubt.

I think that it might have been what Susan would have wanted-to come back to Caspian. But I really do think that it applies to Lucy's character a whole lot more. She really loves Narnia and she wants to come back again(started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope. Which then grew into a quite thought,). Then Peter tells her that she will be coming back (which then grew into a quiet word. And then that word grew louder and louder). Then when she is walking to the tree that will take them home, she knows that she will be coming back and she is excited about that. She didn't have to tell Aslan goodbye because she knew that she would see him again (I'll come back, when you call me. No need to say good bye). After she comes back to our world she realizes that she doesn't know how long it will be until she sees Aslan again, but she knows that she will eventually (Now we're back at the beginning). I think that the song really does apply to Lucy's character more than any of the others. You kind of get the feeling that Lucy has a stronger connection and belief in Narnia than any of the other children.
 
That's true, Lucy's belief in Narnia is the strongest....Finally,I think that immediately you think that the song represents Susan's feelings, but if you listen to it again, you can give all the other explanations you've given.
 
Lucy and Peter

Lucy cause she is strong and believes in Narnia and she is the one that discovered it

Peter cause he was high king and helped fight in both battles and he said he felt like he was not suppose to be treated the way he was
