One of the most important lessons in growing up is coming to terms with the fact that no one has a clue what they’re doing; it’s a lesson we seem doomed to learn slowly, with many doubts and missteps along the way. We all convince ourselves that we haven’t accomplished as much as our peers. We all have days where it feels like we missed an important lesson one day on “how to be a functional adult” and have been playing catch-up every since. Australian singer/songwriter Riley Pearce details that all too familiar reverse God complex feeling in his lush new single ‘How Will I Know’. It captures the spirit of just barely getting by, treading water day after day praying for solid ground under your feet. The fear of not living up to the person you hoped you’d be, the person you feel those around you deserve. Yet beneath this track’s doubtful reflection we find a breezy arrangement, swimming in comforting melodies, that seems to carry a promise of brighter days ahead – and somehow part of me can’t help but believe it.
