    Call Me For Nothing

    Call Me For Nothing is the second song to grow out of What They Call You For. The first asked who carries the person everyone else calls. This one asks something different: what would it feel like if somebody called and didn’t need anything? No favor. No emergency. Nothing to fix. Just because. I wrote the words. The music and voice were created with AI. Listen to the song and explore the writing behind it at: https://www.darioncormier.com/work/call-me-for-nothing This is a public episode.
