‘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.

"Heaven" by Dream Eyes

Heaven

"The Limerick-based Dream Eyes represents a growing strength in his local music scene, with his latest single ‘Heaven’, a touching reflection on resisting fantasy, and making reality beautiful", als Vorwort zum Künstler. 
Und ich muss gestehen es ist einer der Songs die dieses gewisse Etwas mitbringen. Gut gemachter IndiePop wo der Charme vergangener Synthpop Tage versprüht wird und auf aktuelle Electronicmusic trifft. Näheres zu Dream Eyes und dem seinem neuesten Release findet ihr im nachfolgendem kurzen Q&A part.

Q&A

Dream Eyes is/are …?

Dream Eyes is an alt-pop musical act lead by Tadhg Collins, that prioritises collaboration and the exploration of new sounds and artistic ideas.

What/Who was your inspiration for "Heaven"?

The inspiration for Heaven is getting caught or lost in daydreams and fantasies about the future. How this can be enjoyable and comforting but can also be frustrating and limiting to a persons growth.

When do you say or decide that a song is ready for a release?

It’s very hard to know. I have a lot of demo songs that are arguable completed but don’t feel ready for release. I think working with other people and gauging their reaction or interpretation of the song is very useful but ultimately I think there is a moment where the song passes some invisible threshold and just feels ready.

What's next for you?

Some more releases from Dream Eyes in the coming months, and rehearsing a live set also which will hopefully see Dream Eyes debut on stage very soon. Exciting times ahead!
