‘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: Wide Room - "Trust"


Wide Room, an alternative rock band from Switzerland and "Trust" as the pre released single off of their debut album "Hadron", which will be released on August 6th, 2021. Das waren so in etwa die Fakten die wir über die Band hatten. Dann hab ich mal reingehört und da geht's schon ordentlich zur Sache. Das Ganze beginnt recht gemütlich, bevor es immer wieder zu explodieren droht. Man wird regelrecht zu den einzelnen Höhepunkten geleitet, will sagen geführt, respektive auf eine Reise mitgenommen. Obwohl das gute Stück über 8min lang ist, verliert es nicht an Qualität. 8min voller Leidenschaft und vor allem Abwechslung, jedes Mal wenn ich den Track höre entdecke ich was neues, ob es jetzt das Hi-hat zu Beginn ist oder die nach Unendlichkeit klingenden Melodien der Gitarre. Die komplette Progression des Stückes ist perfekt gelungen, hier kann man schon fast von einer Inszenierung sprechen, eine meisterliche Inszenierung in der durch die hervorragenden Vocalparts die letzte Stufe zum Rock-Olymp erklommen wird. So we have to say Achtung: Wide Room with "Trust" and trust me, you will not regret it if you take a listen.
