The Hails - 'Situations'


Promising newcomers The Hails share sparkling new single ‘Situations’.

‘Situations’ is modern escapism. Slick guitar-driven melodies and carefree beats take you on a journey outside of your head, free from the shackles of your thoughts, and find refuge in gentle vocals and a colourful soundscape. But, as with so many things, everything is not as it seems. Behind the bright façade, lies heavy, confessional lyricism – “Help me, I’ve been feeling wrong. I’ve wanted just to stay at home, and I think I should grab my keys and go.”


Talking about the inspiration behind the track, The Hails explain: “’Situations’ is about a sense of disillusionment with social pressures and the banality of many social interactions. Its brooding lyrics hide under the guise of a sparkly, vibrant instrumental - much like a person trying to force a smile and "fake this shit" at a party.”
