Only Tomorrow Knows

This flourishing new single has to be one of the most prominent of Dillon’s career, its wonderful, cinematic and gloriously colourful, touching the hem of the new age, and falling into the arms of a Hollywood soundtrack and called Only Tomorrow Knows, the performer once more is the one and only Neil Patton.

The composition has many parts to its 3 minute contribution to piano based music, the slow and tender opening, and then into the more full flowing narrative we would expect from a romantic movie. Dillon as a composer has one of the finest ears in the business and he brings it all to the table with this new creation.

In the latter half of the arrangement an ethereal and angelic motif can be felt, one that reminds me greatly of another US composer and pianist in Rick Sparks, whose ambient pastiches are always so beautiful, but we still have more, as the coda gives us a stunning end point in a style that is most certainly neo classical, where the listener may be reminded of artists like Lanz or Hoppe.

Overall one has to say that this is with ease one of the best releases that Richard has given us for a long while, could it be his best work thus far? Possibly, it’s right up there with other gems of his, but regardless, I have a feeling the artist is going to hit the jackpot with this one, and all good things are firmly on the horizon for Only Tomorrow Knows by Richard Dillon.
