The track is mostly strings-oriented, with strong drums and percussion otherwise punctuating it. The vocals are gentle and closely harmonising, and the overall effect is one of sadness, particularly in conjunction with the video.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Blink Of An Eye&#8217; is receiving some great media coverage, both print and radio, and most notably was featured as &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpress.com\/music\/hot-press-track-day-runaby-blink-eye-22750782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Track Of The Day<\/a>&#8216; by Irish music Bible, Hot Press Magazine, whose writer Kevin Worrall described it thus:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The instrumentation is haunting, yet uncovers a beauty that can hide within the most darkest of times.
