August Green puts out “Where I Found Myself,” an alternative cut off the “Made for This” EP under Pura Vida.
He’s built a name in the alternative space with steady drops like “Somehow You” and “Mixed Signals.” This one leans further into that emotional, self-reflective territory. Sascha de Jong, Carmen Wijnen, and Do Klerx all had a hand in writing and producing it.
The instrumental keeps things light on its feet, nothing overdone or heavy-handed. There’s a gentle build running through the track that mirrors the theme of rediscovery. Nothing competes with the vocal for space here.
August Green sings with a tone that feels genuinely relieved rather than dramatic. He’s not performing sadness turned into triumph, more just narrating the process plainly. That honesty gives the record its pull.
The lyrics track letting go of what wasn’t working and slowly landing back with yourself. It’s simple, almost plainspoken, but that’s what makes it land for people going through something similar. No metaphor overload, just direct language.
“Where I Found Myself” works because it doesn’t oversell the emotion behind it. Play it whenever you need a reminder that things do come back around.
