From Synths to Sentiments: ‘Stay on the Moon’ by Split Vision

‘Stay on the Moon’ by Split Vision

Split Vision have arrived, bringing with them an ode reminiscent of Kraftwerk, yet enriched with an immense pop flavour thanks to the vocals. On one hand, you reminisce, while on the other, you listen intently to what's unfolding. 

The sound is elegantly retro, the vocals melancholically rooted in the late 80s, and the overall arrangement brilliantly contemporary. This whole ensemble is garnished with the finest lyrics, culminating in ‘Stay on the Moon,’ a melancholic piece that reflects the complexity and fragility of human relationships. The song explores themes of loneliness, the inevitability of parting, and the desire for a deep, honest connection. 

The sentiment of longing and unmet desire also encapsulates the profound wish to be understood and acknowledged, notwithstanding the paradox wherein two individuals remain emotionally detached despite their physical proximity. 

The track also delves into uncertainty and the fear of imminent loss - a deep insecurity and sadness that accompanies the realisation that the relationship will soon end. Another central aspect of the song is the reflection on the world and change. ‘Stay on the Moon’ invites the listener to consider the bigger picture of life and to question their own role within it. The new release presents itself as a powerful, thoughtful narrative, expressed through a combination of melancholic melodies and profound lyrics.
