about

Call Me Up is the last track that was recorded for the album, initially I had a melody for the chorus section of the song and worked the arrangement of the song around that, I struggled to get a verse section that flowed well enough in the song and in the end I swapped and changed the verse parts 3 times before I came up with an idea that worked well, the middle eight section of the song needed a melodic part and I came up with what you hear in the song pretty much immediately.

The arrangement of the song was changed a few times too, as I felt the original chorus and verse parts were too long, despite re-working the song quite a bit, there was actually very little of the instruments and sounds I actually used in the demo on the final version.

Initially this was going to be an instrumental track, however, I then thought about making telephone communication the subject of the song, so I wrote some lyrics and created some voice samples, tailored to fit that concept. It is a song that was inspired by the situation we face with the COVID-19 Pandemic, people on lockdown and having to self-isolate, only having a telephone, as a means of communication, with people, of course, not everyone has friends and family, and would be alone and would love to hear a friendly voice on the end of a telephone.

All in all, quite a lot of changes along the way, with this track, it is melodic and best described, as pure “Pop”!

lyrics

Call me up and talk to me
On the line, on the line

Call me up and turn the dial
Make the call
Make the call

Re-connect and talk to me
On the line, on the line

Re-connect and dial again
Talk all night
Talk all night

Call me up and talk to me
On the line, on the line

Call me up and turn the dial
Make the call
Make the call
