‘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.

Déjà Vu feat. Will Burton

Mit Déjà Vu, der letzten bzw. aktuellen Veröffentlichung von Tom Tom Park, reisen wir ein wenig in die 80er des vorigen Jahrhunderts, klingt "uralt", ist es aber nicht. Tom Tom Park besitzt das Talent sich die besten Elemente, aus der unter anderen vom Synth-Pop beherrschten Dekade, nutzbar zu machen.
Verträumte, überirdische Melancholie, die Stimmung. Das Thema, sprich Lyrics beschreiben das Wiedererleben einer Situation. In diesem Fall, sich auf jemanden einzulassen, obwohl man genau weiß, dass alles nur in einem Desaster enden wird. 
“Get together, fall in love, fall apart, repeat. Déjà vu, I should know better every time we meet”., beschreibt er es gekonnt. 
Zur Seite stellt er sich Will Burton, und das darf man einen gelungenen Schachzug nennen. Will, interpretiert dieses Genre perfekt, entzündet sozusagen ein Retro-Feuerwerk und holt einen zurück in diese Dekade. 
Der klassische Synthbass in Kombination mit den Drums ergibt diesen 80er Disco-Synth-Pop-Charme wobei man sagen muss, dass durch Soundselection und Arrangement der Bogen von den 80ern in die 2020er meisterhaft gespannt wird.  "Déjà Vu" by Tom Tom Park, back to the 80ies, back on the dancefloor.
