If you've ever lingered too long in a daydream about a relationship that wasn't meant to be, then Split Second's sweet and contemplative track "Is There A Chance?" is the perfect relatable track for you. Powerful lyrics like "I could make you see we go together like the birds and the trees" draw listeners into those preciously romantic moments of longing and fantasy. The song explains the confusing way an ex can stick around even after they say your relationship is over, showing how hard it is to let go of a person you love no matter who takes the first step apart. The speaker of the song begs for clarity and honesty saying "stop the show, you can tell me if the answer is no." This track inspires listeners to seek truth in their own relationships, offering an insightful message that no matter how precious a moment of hope may be, a concrete answer in a breakup is the healthiest way to move on.
Bright acoustic strumming followed by ambient keyboard and a resonant electric guitar pattern opens the song. The instrumentals offer a warm and reflective atmosphere to amplify the questioning and intimate message of the lyrics. This track is genre-blending, with a touch of folk and country infused into the instrumental twang, and pop-rock coming through the dynamic vocal style. Ava Hackett's vocals are beautifully breathy through the high notes that punctuate lines of expressive conversational singing. The verses and pre-chorus have a melodic instrumental rhythm that will have you swaying along with the beat. Through the chorus, the song's vulnerability comes to a peak with intensely emotional high vocals that carry the tone of one lover begging another to see things their way.
Split Second is a UK-based indie band with an invigorating soft pop-rock style. The group is made up of four dynamic members, with Ava Hackett's sweet and emphatic vocals, Levi Husbands' songwriting and guitarist talents, Jack Barnett on drums, and Louiz Jephcott on bass. With an uplifting sound, and meaningful lyrics that tackle deep themes of love and longing, their music is sure to brighten up your summer. They have several upcoming performances to keep an eye out for at festivals across the UK including Woo Fest, Lakefest, and the Sunshine Music Festival.
