‘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: Cathedral Birds - "4 Songs about love and disaster in the year ..."

 4 Songs About Love And Disaster In The Year Of The Horse


An uplifting ballad from Sheffield narrative songwriting duo Cathedral Birds. The year of the horse was one of the coldest on record. We were sixteen. Our parents divorced. It was many years ago. It still resonates as middle aged men. It was the year of discovery. The year of experiment. The year of not knowing which way to go. We took walks on the moors. Saw a buzzard for the first time. Watched it disappear into the heavens. We wrote this song during lockdown. Sent the lyrics back and forth and exchanged idea's. It still gives us chills. 
Das war die "Ausgangsinformation", klingt doch interessant, oder nicht? Was kann man sich erwarten? Wie schon beim Vorgänger, das Songwriting wird großgeschrieben wie auch die Arrangements der Instrumentierung. Erlesene Klänge passend zur Stimmung der einzelnen Tracks werden frei Haus geliefert. Alle 4 Songs auf der EP "4 Songs about Love and Disaster in the year of the horse" stehen für bzw. zeigen das Liedermacher-Talent sowie auch die Begabung Songs zu arrangieren respektive zu produzieren. Gut gemacht und definitiv Wert einmal reinzuhören, mein persönlicher Anspieltipp: "Save in the fire",  Cathedral Birds und ihre neue EP, now available.
