CALL ME: This is a left handed love song in a basic funk driven rhythm. All my songs are based on rhythm which is important to me. It gives impetus to the lyrics in my view. Call Me is a song about dedication and forgiveness, stubborn pride and fear. This song tells me, as others do on the album, that I've taken a stand on certain parts of my life and I won't cross the line unless honesty and truth are up front and on the table. I wrote Call Me from a guitar finger style pattern and chord changes that stimulated or set the scene so to speak for the lyrics that were just waiting for the right train to get on. "My songs are sleeping inside my head".
