Dylan Walker – All I Need Is You

Dylan Walker taps into a classic, timeless sound on the soothing lullaby of “All I Need Is You”. Sung with such heart, the lyrics have a tremendous vulnerability behind them. A bit of Conor Oberst’s spirit comes into the fray for there is a hushed reverence about the piece. Love defines the piece in the truest sense with the graceful gestures amplifying out into the vast space. No matter what though that initial intimate spark continues and underlines the whole of the message. His care and compassion are obvious as is the humility he expresses, the sort of thing that happens upon living a fully realized life.

                Vocals introduce the piece for his expressiveness radiates throughout. Delicate guitar gestures take a page from the Mountain Goats’ early work, for there is a simple yet emotionally resonant quality to it. The rest of the band gradually enters into the fray though it never overwhelms the sound. Rather, there is a dreamy spirit that helps the message to evolve, for the piece feels so nimble. Everything takes its time with the drums hitting on a more emotional than time-keeping kick. Little flourishes, the small sweeps of sound, all of these merge together for the finale that feels ever so joyous in its sense of togetherness.

                “All I Need Is You” features the undeniable talent of Dylan Walker in crafting a piece that defies any pigeonholing to explore its own small corner of the universe.
