Another song about long-distance relationships! It’s a hot topic, and we suspect that in an increasingly digital and remote world, such type of romance is only destined to grow. A highly relatable effort, ‘I Can Tell’ is a strikingly vulnerable and honest piece, a poignant jewel exploring the heartbreaking distance between two lovers. As told by Brendan Pegg’s warm songwriting, ‘I Can Tell’ seeks to highlight how geographical distance can quickly become emotional and spiritual distance.
From a sonic perspective, the song is minimal and to the point. A soothing acoustic guitar accompanies the Los Angeles-based troubadour during his inspired folk-lenient travels, creating a gentle vibe that’s also meaningful and catchy. Pegg’s soaring and precise vocal tone is the perfect match for such a wholesome record, truly wrapping listeners into two minutes of aural energy.
Speaking about the single, Brendan explains: “Whether you’re alone in your car at 2 a.m. or staring at the ceiling wondering what went wrong, ‘I Can Tell’ is the kind of song that makes you feel seen—and leaves you hitting replay.” Look out for more singles and an upcoming debut album, set to be unveiled in the coming months.
