‘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 chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

The Artist: The Racket - "I need more"


The song was completely born out of the situation that Callum was stuck in the house and couldn't get a proper studio so everything was done at home. Und das Resultat ist schlichtweg fantastisch. „I Need More“ ist die nächste Veröffentlichung von The Racket. 

Dieser Track zeigt die melodische Seite von Callums Songwriting, ohne aber die Kraft der Arbeiterklasse im Storytelling zu vernachlässigen. Des Weiteren ist es natürlich ein Beweis seines Talents und zeigt wie weit gefächert dieses ist. Aufgenommen zu Hause beginnt es mit dieser unwiderstehlichen Melodie und wenn dann der Gesang einsetzt ist man angekommen, angekommen in einem Tagebuch. Verzweiflung und Hoffnung geben sich die Türklinke in die Hand. Wenn The Kinks, Bob Dylan treffen, um einen Song zu schreiben, würde es wahrscheinlich genau so klingen.

Songwriter Callum lässt uns wissen,“one of my favourite things I’ve written  from the lockdown. The song is kind of like an open diary for anyone to hear what’s going on in my life. It’s about battling the thoughts of doubt and hope”. 

So we have to say Achtung: Here comes The Racket with "I need more" and I guess we all want more, more songs like that one.
