‘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: Nate Hadley - "Velvet Pie"

 


Nate Hadley

Nate Hadley is a self-produced independent artist who is lyric-forward. Ever the optimist, he is known for writing sad lyrics and performing them in light up-beat songs as if to say that there is a silver lining to everything. Hadley 22, who has been playing guitar and writing songs since he was 9, began passivley pursuing music 3 years ago. This journey led him to Nashville where he was able to secure gigs at the historic Blue Bird Cafe and the Douglas Corner Cafe. However, Hadley was a full time student on track to go to law school after finishing his undergrad at Western Carolina University. This meant that for a while music had to take a back seat.



Velvet Pie

I hope that my songs will make you feel better today, und ja das vermag er zu schaffen. Er, das ist NATE HADLEY, und in diesem Fall ist es sein Song Velvet Pie. Velvet Pie klingt unbeschwert, leicht und man verliert sich ein wenig. Es ist die Debütsingle von dem aus Cullowhee, US stammenden Singer und Songwriter und ich denke, es kann sich sehen bzw. hören lassen. Der Song in dem die Vocals und die Akustikgitarre, wie für klassische Liedermacher typisch, im Vordergrund stehen, lädt zum Träumen ein, ruft positive Vibes hervor, es wird eine Geschichte erzählt vielleicht sogar Geschichte geschrieben, den der Song hat dieses gewisse etwas. Velvet Pie von Nate Hadley kann man getrost als musikalischen Leckerbissen bezeichnen. Die Nachspeise wurde zwar zuerst angerichtet, trotzdem bin ich schon auf's Hauptmenü gespannt.
