Simple but striking songwriting lets the sound of Brendan Pegg’s instantly infectious single Good Night ring loud and connect across the board.
Featuring an easy set-up of acoustic guitar and voice, the track presents with a clear sense of groove and optimism, building through a style somewhat inspired by both nostalgic pop and something between the likes of Jason Mraz and James Blunt. The writing is heartfelt, the melody classic and memorable, and yet the voice makes sure to bring something fresh and distinct to the stage.
Feeling like a personal take on a genuine memory, Good Night quite seamlessly intertwines the deeply individual and that which is more broadly relatable. The result is a rather anthemic but still unplugged and spacious ode to the good times – a song that can naturally be made the ‘our song’ of any and all modern pairs – and that songwriting ability is often the key to longevity in this industry.
From the album Be Ok, Good Night marks the perfect introduction – highlighting the beautifully raspy yet smooth timbre of Brendan’s voice under a divinely recorded acoustic setting, and showcasing his melodic and storytelling prowess in folk-pop in a catchy way.
Easy to enjoy, a great studio capture but also honest and stripped-back enough to openly prove Brendan Pegg’s worth as a live acoustic performer, Good Night is a modest earworm of a folk-pop single, and works its magic with ease; from the moment that guitar and vocal combination starts to play.
