I should cry wolf. I should run // We both know that this ain’t love but I don’t mind

Such a cool song.  He has an older quality to his music that’s really cool and unique. Love the grooviness (if that’s a word lol) of this song and the smooth vocals. Also I love supporting young great independent acts like him.

Won’t leave you in the dark til the sun burns out // I’m your guardian, but you’re my angel now

Super sad but beautiful song by Dalton!  This song is absolutely made for headphones; it doesn’t have the same impact through speakers.  The simplicity of the song mixed with those lyrics make such a beautifully haunting product.  Love the reverb at the end of his chorus lines that make it echo out, it gives it a hectic vibe and really adds to the emotion of the song.  Also, I love that he wrote this with Will Jay.  Love them both and their songwriting is amazing when they work together. He’s such an underrated musician.

Sticks and stones may break my bones // But your words break my heart // I’m not as strong as you think I am // I’m no Superman

Love this version of Superman by Dalton Rapattoni.  This is a song that he wrote for his former band IM5 with one of the other members Will Jay. This is such a beautiful version, and you can tell that he feels every word that he wrote so deeply.  I actually like this version a lot better than the original.
