‘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.

Q&A

What was your inspiration for the new Single?

To be honest there was no inspiration at all , it just came from daily grind , every musician out there is doing some daily stuff to improve their music if they r really serious about their music career I listen to songs on Spotify then if I like smthg , I influence that on my song , this single like exactly 6 months later from my previous one called "stay frosty royal milk tea" because there was alott more than music going in the background and we all do have personal lives

How would you describe the year 2021 in a sentence?

It's been my second year in music journey , and it was more about exploring and learning rather than trying to blow up and apart from that I graduated from high school and got into college and been battling sm mental health issues So in one sentence I can say is "Change is the only thing thats constant in life "

What can we expect from you in the new year?

To be honest , idk , no promises or nothing to say like we will go above the horizons or smthg like that , I m battling my own issues like currently battling against the 5 types of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) at once , everyday , every single moment , anxiety and fear have become a normal thing to me , but anyhow I find some peace by grace of Holy spirit 
Apart from that people don't take mental health issues in India seriously , they would judge people with mental illness , make fun of mental illness and try to avoid the topic/person in every possible way So I don't want to share it with anyone. This is a lot to manage , so no promises at all

What do you prefer a live gig or a studio session?

Studio sessions for sure , and there r no live gigs from me yet and Imma kinda person who wants to live his whole life locked inside my own room , spending time only with my stuff , family and ppl who have been my friends for years

What is your creative process like and was it different for this song?

Yess it was alott more different , before starting this song I changed my DAW and I had to figure out the whole workflow for myself on this brand new DAW I m sitting with , this song is based more on feedback like I did work on every feedback I got from artists and I m really thankful for that they spent time listening to my work and suggested me improvement so a big thanks to everyone who did that
