Transcription
Composition
In a promotional video, Starr said that "Walk with You" was originally intended to be a "gospelly" song.[2] Starr called Van Dyke Parks and asked him to collaborate on writing a "God song," but Parks said he did not write about God. They reworked the melody and completed the track as a song about the power of friendship.[2][3] During the recording of "Peace Dream," Starr played Paul McCartney several tracks he had completed for Y Not. McCartney developed the "trailing" duet in the melody of "Walk with You."[2]
