John Smyths Reflects on Life Lessons in New Single “Now I’m Wiser”

At 63, John Smyths (born Johan Smits in Nijmegen, NL) is proving that wisdom doesn’t just come with age, it comes with music. His new single, “Now I’m Wiser,” is a heartfelt country ballad rooted in personal reflection. It offers listeners a glimpse into the lessons learned through decades of life, love, and music.

Raised on the thunder of Kiss, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC, Smyths eventually found himself drawn toward the rich storytelling of Conway Twitty, Hank Williams, and Waylon Jennings. That blend of grit and country grace informs “Now I’m Wiser,” giving it both rock-born confidence and country-born sincerity.

A Life Lived, A Song Learned: The Sound of Reflection

Musically, “Now I’m Wiser” leans on classic country instrumentation, with thus steady rhythm, melodic guitars, and warm vocals that carry both strength and tenderness. Smyths’ voice feels lived-in, textured by time, yet steady with conviction. It’s the sound of a man who has been through it all and come out the other side with perspective.

The song doesn’t try to overcomplicate itself. Instead, it thrives in simplicity by letting the words and emotions do the heavy lifting. The refrain reminds listeners that wisdom often comes at a price, but it’s one worth paying. While John Smyths is only now stepping onto digital platforms, his musical journey spans years of studio sessions, live gigs, and original songwriting across Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

A Career Rooted in Passion

In 2025 alone, he’s performed in Viechtach, Gerolstein, Stolberg, Wolfhagen, and Nijmegen, with upcoming appearances at the Red Carpet Show International in Wageningen, where he’s nominated for Country Voice of the Year, Country Song of the Year (Original), and Songwriter of the Year. He’s also slated to perform at the Country Messe in Erfurt, continuing his rise in Europe’s vibrant country music scene.

“Now I’m Wiser” isn’t just another country song; it’s a personal statement from an artist who has lived through the storms and learned from everyone. It’s heartfelt, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that wisdom, like music, is something best shared. For fans of classic country storytelling with a modern heart, John Smyths is one to watch.
