Best Song: While album opener "All I Know" sets a very promising tone, it's "If Only I" that captured my attention the most. It's a stripped down offering, yet the song is surprisingly grandiose. Derrick and Amy know how to create quite the wall of sound with just an acoustic guitar and a piano. What seals the deal for me is Amy Ross' vocals on the track -- they are at their best and most earnest, remaining soft-spoken with a touch of yearning for good measure. I don't even care about lyrical content with this song, which I often obsess over -- the singing is just that good.
