“How It Goes” is a new track from Nashville-based band The Reneaus. A hypnotic loop of alt-rock nostalgia opens; a metronome-like sound effect resonates amidst the twangy guitars. A sudden transition to vocals, conveying awakening emotions, kickstarts a consuming escalation. Quaint guitars take a backseat to a thumping rhythm section, as the vocals drive into the hook with a title-acknowledging remark. The two-minute mark onward charms with playful synth additions, in addition to a symphonic glow that steadily incorporates in the concluding minute. “How It Goes” features stirring songwriting throughout.
Per the band, “How It Goes” is “a song about fleeting instances of clarity.”
