Released on January 31, 2025, Carl Kammeyer’s new single, “Only You”, promises to be extremely touching with its themes of inspiration, gratitude, and resilience. Drawing from his pastoral life on Bethel Island, CA, Carl translates his artistry into moving lyrics and compelling vocals. This song is not simply a piece of music; it is a dedication to his mentors, friends, family, and all those who contributed to and shaped his life’s journey.
“Only You” does not simply grab the listener’s attention; it ensnares it like a silken thread with each note. From the first soothing note, the listener feels the desire to lean towards the speaker. Each word is raw, making it powerful and genuine. There is a deep sense of feeling, a journey, struggles, victories, and dashes of appreciation, and the lyricist captures them all skillfully. The song’s beautiful simplicity helps strengthen the endless feelings of appreciation, making it easy to relate to the song from any side. The video for “Only You” elevates the experience even more. It is deeply personal and, therefore, serves as a great accompaniment to the song. The colors are warm and personal, which compliments Carl’s music very well. Instead of focusing on complex effects, the video focuses on a narrative that beautifully encapsulates the emotions in the song. It perfectly complements the song – understated yet potent.
Carl recorded “Only You” in his personal home studio, which has a lot of emotional value to him. This version of the song definitely does sound more real. The song is not merely a performance; it serves as an open testimony of appreciation and introspection. “Only You” is a song everyone should listen to, especially if you are looking for something special. It showcases the power of human connection, the strength one gains from other people, and the beauty that comes with appreciating something through music.
