Valerie June - Call Me A Fool

Stream/Buy “Call Me A Fool“ from the album “The Moon And Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers“ here: “Call Me A Fool“ is written by Valerie June. “African Proverb” is read by Carla Thomas. “Have you ever been a fool for a dream? It might have been a little dream like a kiss from a lover or a big one like the dream of peace that Dr. King, John Lennon, and so many others have had for humanity. No matter how big or how small your dream may be, keep believing, and let the world call you a fool!” - Valerie June Produced by Jack Splash (Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, John Legend) and Valerie June, “The Moon And Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers“ is sweeping and ambitious with earthy R&B production and a touch of psychedelia amidst its astral folk-pop orchestration, the pair arrived at a sound that is elegant and endlessly surprising. At the center is June’s spellbinding vocals and infectious sense of wonder that finds the Brooklyn-via-Memphis artist narrating the often precarious journey to joyful possibility. Lyrics: Call me a fool Call me a fool A heart forlorn A heart that’s scorned A new love born Thought I had it under control But it shook me, gripped me, grabbed my soul Heard it knocking pound on the door When I knew I had to let it go Don’t you know I wish that I could help it Don’t you know I wish that I could forget But this new love is so strong that It’s a power keeps me holding on Call me a fool Call me a fool For your love Baby And I’ll be a fool any time I’ll be a fool any time for loving you I’ve been wishing things had been different But I guess the cards, they fall the way they’re meant Win or lose or draw you play the hand you’re sent Beggar, Borrower, Given, Taken, Lent I’ve been drinking, staying drunk all day Got me creeping, but it’s not late at night Got my life twisted, turned it upside down Just a fool to hang around Call me a fool Call me a fool For your love Baby And I’ll be a fool any time I’ll be a fool any time for loving you You call me a fool Call me a fool For your love Baby And I’ll be a fool any time I’ll be a fool any time for loving you You call me a fool Call me a fool For your love Baby And I’ll be a fool any time I’ll be a fool any time for loving you Thought I had it under control #ValerieJune #CallMeAFool #PrescriptionsForDreamers --- Director: Sam Cannon Director of Photography: Cory Fraiman-Lott Producer: Ani Schroeter Art Director: Tommy Kha Stylist: Brandon Tan Gaffer: Arseniy Grobovnikov Set Decorator: Lauraly Grossman Edit/VFX: Sam Cannon Colorist: Ayumi Ashley -- ’The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers’ Track List: “Stay” “Stay Meditation” “You And I” “Colors” “Stardust Scattering” “African Proverb Read By Carla Thomas” “Call Me A Fool” “Fallin” “Smile” “Within You” “Two Roads” “Why The Bright Stars Glow” “Home Inside” “Starlight Ethereal Silence” Music video by Valerie June performing Call Me A Fool. © 2021 June Tunes Music, Inc., Under exclusive license to Fantasy Records.
