Jeremy Parks delivers a dreamy, radiant indie folk track, ‘Through the Rear View (Amy)’
Listening to this evokes bittersweet memories of early Coldplay, John Mayer & Hozier. Delicate folk arrangements, moody atmospherics and Jeremy’s tender, stirring love ballad about a woman named Amy. Over its close to 4-min runtime, ‘Love Through the Rear View’ immerses you into its bright, effervescent folk soundscape.
Opening onto moody strings and piano tones, Jeremy launches into passionate poetic prose. He sings of the fiery nature of love, real-life moments and his intriguing observations. We absolutely love his balanced vocal delivery, aided by smartly layered backing vocal tracks.
The lyrics speak to an infatuation, a love felt from a distance. Situated in a homely, country town, Jeremy draws relatable imagery of chance encounters, words left unsaid, and feelings left adrift. There’s a hauntingly beautiful meaning between his romantic riddles.
The track further blooms into a full-bodied arrangement. Crisp drums, beautiful string harmonies and ethereal arrangements complement Jeremy’s vocals so well. ‘Found a way to let go, shots fired in the Rear View..’ rings out the chorus along with shimmering tambourine beats. The groove is gentle and infectious, drawing you in comfortably and keeping you feeling warm and fuzzy.
There’s an effortless grace and spontaneity vibe we get from ‘Love Through the Rear View’, a tapping into the inherent aliveness of love. The track’s effortless transitions and unique structure make it a sublime listening experience and speak volumes to Jeremy’s artistic vision.
This is definitely a contender for the best indie folk songs we’ve heard this year! Give it a listen and lose yourself in Jeremy’s rose-tinted world!
