‘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. A song that is not meant to be heard, but to be lived through – like a familiar glance at an old photo album by candlelight. b...

"On the Zooms" by Brick Blair

Brick Blair

Hi I'm Brick. I’ve been a farm boy, fired choir boy, best boy, and a cowboy.
Hi I'm Brick. I’ve been a farm boy, fired choir boy, best boy, and a cowboy. A mechanic, a drunken wreck, a trucker, and a nailer. A baler, a swather, a mother, a father. A Brethren, a preacher, a missionary, a teacher. An Albertan, Victorian, New Yorker, valedictorian. A hoser and a closer, a fisher and a fighter. A painter, a framer, a gamer, and brat tamer.
A guru, a journalist, a heathen, a hedonist. A photographer, biographer, a guard and a center. A monogamist, polyamorist, enveloper and developer. A hunter, biographer, racer, and writer. 
I’ve lost it all but kept the rest. And finally, I am - and will always be - Brick, and these are my songs. I hope you enjoy them. 
Thank you for your attention, because your attention is your time, and your time is all you really have. (-Brick Blair-)


On the Zooms

Ein Song der eine Beziehung vertiefen sollte, eine Beziehung die sich gut entwickelte, eine in der der nächste Schritt bevorstand. Aber wie es im Leben eben so ist, kam alles anders. Dieses "kam alles anderes", die große Unbekannte tauchte in Form einer Pandemie auf und beendete das was so gut begann.
"On the Zooms is a letter I wrote to someone I started dating at the beginning of the pandemic ...", so der Künstler. Das gewählte Genre nicht einfach zu definieren, "On the Zooms" fungiert wie ein musikalischer Schmelztiegel. Country, zu Beginn im Vordergrund, entschwindet langsam, geht förmlich komplett im Genremix des Synth- meets Alternative-Pop auf, vermag aber immer ein wenig durch zu schimmern. Die Bassline sowie die Drums sorgen für weitere Veredelung, tragen zusätzlich zur äußerst gelungenen Mixtur bei. 
Die Vocals, welche Verlust und Verletzlichkeit gelungen interpretieren, geben dem Lied die Farbe, erzeugen den Charakter, sind der eigentliche Glanz der musikalischen Darbietung. "On the Zooms" von Brick Blair, definitiv mehr als nur eine Talentprobe.
