‘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.

Lemonade

Geschrieben und produziert von Josh Collins, "Lemonade" die aktuelle Single, da haben wir wieder feinste Lyrics gepaart mit Akustikgitarrensound pur. Richtig vermutet, wir sind im Singer-Songwriter Genre angekommen. Ein wenig an Jack Johnson erinnernd, lädt uns Josh ein über den vergangenen Sommer nachzudenken oder generell über das Leben, zumindest stellen wir fest das an einem heißen Sommertag nichts besser ist als ein Glass Limonade, es sind doch die einfachen Dinge die zählen oder einem das Leben versüßen. Wie immer wird auf großes Schnickschnack verzichtet, verzichtet um den Lyrics Platz zu machen bzw. zu lassen, fast schon "Collins-esque" könnt man sagen oder es nennen, der Text ist vielmehr, wird zu Musik. Heute präsentieren wir die Single und nächste Woche das dazugehörige Video.
