Dylan Dunlap, the internationally recognised singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, crafts a slow-burning moment of release on Fool.
The track is ambient and restrained, built around reverb-heavy acoustic textures that stretch across a stark emotional landscape.
“I wrote Fool almost immediately after driving across the country and moving to Brooklyn,” Dunlap reveals. “There came a turning point where I had to decide if I was going to be the change I wanted to see in my world or stay the same in the worlds of others.”
This track drifts in the space between self-love and self-abandonment.
The instrumentation feels skeletal—gentle strums, ambient echoes, and subtle layers that slowly bloom without tipping into excess.
Vocals are softened at the edges, washed in delay, hovering just above the mix.
“I am wonderfully broken,” he sings, voice folding into the track’s subtle crescendos.
The repetition of “I’m not a fool for falling in love / I’m not a fool for leaving what was” reads like a quiet resolution—an unlearning in progress.
It avoids the high-drama chorus and the clash of heavy instrumentation, opting instead for a gentler build.
Released ahead of his upcoming album Brooklynite, Fool is a confessional wrapped in reverb, where the weight of change lingers in the silence between chords.

Dylan Dunlap Fool Lyrics
I am a worrier
I am a waterfall
I am a wave of emotions
I am away from hurt
But from afar I’m not
I am wonderfully broken
I’m not a fool
I’m not a fool
For falling in love
I’m not a fool
I’m not a fool
For leaving what was
I am a warrior
I wanna watch me fall
Under the waves of devotion
I am a wanderer
But never far from lost
I am wonderfully open
I’m not a fool
I’m not a fool
For falling in love
I’m not a fool
I’m not a fool
For leaving what was
I’m not a fool
I’m not a fool
For falling in love
I’m not a fool
I’m not a fool
For leaving what was
