‘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.

This is me telling you

Nicolaas Walle and Friends ist der Name des Projektes, "Strange Time, Strange Place" das Album dazu und "This is me telling you" quasi die Single. Nicolaas Walle, ein außergewöhnlicher Multi Instrumentalist, holt Ciara Adamson, welche sich für die Lyrics verantwortlich zeichnet, an Bord und liefert mit diesem Song eine Performance der Extraklasse ab. 
Leidenschaftlicher, emotionaler Gesang, ein eingängiger Refrain und ausdrucksstarke Gitarren-Soli sind die Zutaten, Alternative Rock mit etwas Pop fungiert als Kochtopf. Nicolaas rührt kräftig um und weiß ganz genau welche Knöpfe er drehen muss sprich was es bedarf um "extraordinary" zu klingen
Die Gitarre erinnert ein wenig an Gary Moore, besitzt aber genug "Nicolaas Walle" Anteile in seiner "Soundsignatur" um es vielleicht als "Nicolaas Walle in einer Gary Moore Retrospektive" zu titulieren. "
This is me telling you" by Nicolaas Walle and Friends, auf alle Fälle ein Genuss für die Ohren und eine Bereicherung für die Playlists.
