Top Tracks: The Brook & The Bluff – Can’t Figure It Out

We go through life almost constantly wanting to be some different version of ourselves. Someone more charming and confident, someone who works a little harder, loves a little deeper. We want to be the adult self we imagined when we were kids, who has everything figured out. It’s all too easy to look around at your peers and see people who seem happier and better off, and wonder where you went wrong. It’s exhausting always trying to fit into some ideal version of yourself – at some point you have to let it go. ‘Can’t Figure It Out’, from Nashville based outfit The Brook & The Bluff, is a song all about letting go and accepting the things we cannot change. Taken from their new album Werewolf, out 6th March, it’s about reconciling with the fact that you’re going to make more mistakes, more wrong choices, face more frustrating mishaps. There’s no such thing as perfect, no clear path forward, sometimes you just have to trust the process. With a warm, melody driven Americana sound drawing from the likes of CCR and the Eagles, it feels like shrugging off the world and breathing easy for the first time in a long time.
