Country/Americana singer-songwriter Jeremy Parsons returns with one of his most vulnerable releases to date, “Who Was I?” a reflective confession wrapped in warm, roots-driven instrumentation. From the very first verse, Parsons opens a time capsule to his 25-year-old self: drifting, restless, chasing something he couldn’t quite name.
The lyric, “Sleeping through the days, living for the night / Yeah, doing lots of things to see if I could die,” hits with stark emotional weight. It’s not glorified recklessness; it’s recollection. Parsons doesn’t dramatize youth; he dissects it. The beauty of the track lies in its clarity. The production feels organic and grounded, allowing his storytelling to remain front and center.
There’s a subtle ache in his delivery, the kind that only comes from experience and growth. As the song unfolds, you feel the contrast between societal expectations and personal confusion. It’s a conversation between who he was and who he’s become. “Who Was I?” is about forgiving the past. And that emotional maturity is what makes this record quietly powerful and deeply resonant.
