‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us.

The Artist: SAHANA NARESH - "Milky Hands"

One of the lovliest and cutest tracks this year is out now. "Milky Hands" is the debut single from the album "Shore Out of Reach", and is inspired by the birth of her daughter Tara. Here is Sahana Naresh, an Indie singer/songwriter who is traveling between Seattle and Chennai. 
I wanted to capture the duality of newly found parenthood - the unwavering bond of love and the disquiet moments brought on by the worry I have for my daughter to feel safe and loved in this world, she says. 
Only with her Ukulele and a great story she guides us through a labyrinth of emotions and sensory experiences. Perfect Vocals and a wonderful catchy melody are here to convince us. So we have to say Achtung: Once you listen to the song, you will love it, and you have to listen to it (again and again) because it's more than cute.
