'Gone' is the first UK release from that album and it's a good introduction to UK listeners. It's a fun song about being in love and wanting to get away from everything else just to spend some time with the special person in your life. Youth seeps through this song from this theme but Dillon's mature vocals and polished lyrics ground it with more meaning than your usual 'young and in love' sort of song.
Is it the stand-out track on his album? No. It's a great track but, for me personally, that title goes to the album's title track, 'Sunsets and Pickups', a song that has minimal production, letting the lyrics and Dillon's vocals shine.
A fine singer-songwriter and still so young, Ty Dillon has a promising career ahead of him if he keeps producing material of this high level. One to watch.
