Jeremy Parsons Delivers Honest And Sweet "Something Other Than You Are"

Jeremy Parsons' “Something Other Than You Are” is a soft, heartwarming melody about wanting to be something more, while also finding purpose no matter what shape or form life takes. It’s a very special flavor of positivity, one that accepts that sometimes things aren’t perfect and can’t always be perfect, but making the most of life is what matters the most.

Acoustic guitar makes up the bulk of the leading melody, and it’s also what greets you as soon as the song opens until the vocals kick in. Despite this, the composition here is in no way simple, with extremely layered production and fantastic mixing. It all works together effortlessly, making the song sound warm and inviting without needing to sacrifice on complexity.

The biggest strength of “Something Other Than You Are” is how honest and sweet it is, and the main reason for this is Jeremy Parsons’ himself. His delivery on the single is laid-back, but it’s also dripping with emotion in every word and inflection. It’s a powerful performance, and it highlights the well written lyrics.
