Richard Tyler Epperson’s beautiful tribute to his late father comes in the shape of an engaging piece of alt-rock that features his gravelly voice and massive guitar riffs. ‘All My Life’ is heavy, cool, and grunge-inspired.
A singer and songwriter hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, Richard Tyler Epperson’s latest piece, the moody and melancholic ‘All My Life’ originally started as an acoustic demo written by Epperson’s father. After he passed, Epperson took it upon his shoulder to finish it, resulting in a truly epic piece of alternative rock loaded with infectiously dark atmospheres and addictive riffs.
Most notable in ‘All My Life’ is its sense of foreboding darkness that is exhibited in the song’s minor and melancholic chord sequence, and further explored with the song’s epic climbing riff that heralds the arrival of the chorus. Epperson’s voice is husky, distinct, and memorable. Diving into themes of regret and the unstoppable passing of time, ‘All My Life’ is an introspective song with an impactful lyrical composition that is made even more touching with its correspondence with Epperson’s late father, and its presence in his life as a part of his childhood and memories. ‘All My Life’ is vividly dark and touching.
Richard Tyler Epperson’s ‘All My Life’ is a beautiful piece of music that carries a lot of meaning for its artist and for his family. Lovingly crafted, ‘All My Life’ is a fitting tribute to a father who left a lasting music legacy for his son to showcase after his time has passed.
