‘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.

"Oceanpotion" by Firesites

Oceanpotion

"The song came about when I found the whammy bar for my Strat, I started messing around with some wonky guitar chords with the original idea of an ‘ocean milkshake’ in mind. [...]", stand da geschrieben und da muss man fast reinhören, reinhören wie so etwas wohl klingen mag, etwas im Sinne von "The idea of an ocean milkshake". 
Ich darf zugeben dass ich sehr verblüfft war, im positiven Sinn. Die Eröffnung fast schon sinnlich, zumindest spätestens ab dem Einsatz der Vocals, was vielleicht auch dem Falsett-Gesang ein wenig geschuldet ist, sinnlicher Abstraktismus welcher durch das Arrangement noch verstärkt wird, maßgeblich federführend hier natürlich die "wavigen" Synthsounds in Kombination, sprich Zusammenspiel mit der leicht schräg klingenden Gitarre. 
Der Einsatz von Chorus und Delay, quasi als Mörtel der Soundwall, setzt weitere Akzente in diese Richtung und findet schlussendlich seine Vollendung im Klang eines Saxophones. "Oceanpotion" by Firesites a tantalising dream of sensuality or the catchy sound of abstractism
