Listen to “Half Chance” from Liam Russell’s upcoming EP, No Contest. It’s a collection of simple, heartfelt songs about people and ideas that inspired him to break free of his own expectations. The self-produced EP was recorded live off the floor at a cottage in the Ontario winter wilderness with 5 of his best friends and musical collaborators.
Liam has been writing and performing for most of his life. He signed to a major label at 15 and spent a decade on the road honing his skills. In need of a change, he moved to Nashville to focus on writing for others. As time went on, the desire to make another recording of his own slowly asserted itself. Five years later the result is No Contest. He shared the following on the song Half Chance.
I wrote Half Chance with Mike Evin and my fiancé Zoe Sky Jordan. Essentially it’s about trying to communicate with someone you love. Sometimes we get so consumed by our hurt in relationships that we close ourselves off from the one person we love and want to connect with most. This song is about that moment when all you really wanna do is plead with your partner to tell you how to fix things but neither of you can find the words to get through. Half Chance happens to be the name of a real place in Alabama and was too perfect to pass up on. Not to mention the only real notable thing about Half Chance is that it has one of the oldest, still standing iron bridges in America… Yet another metaphor for connecting…
