‘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 World Wants Peace" by Hotel California

This World Wants Peace

Daniel Bewernick-Green aka Hotel California
As a father, a husband, a teacher and citizen of a free country I am deeply troubled by the current events in Ukraine. First Covid and now an even worse crisis just around the corner in Europe? “This World Wants Peace” tells my personal perspective on today’s situation. For my kids, the pupils I teach, all refugees and every person involved in Eastern Europe I deeply hope this ends and finally this word calms down for a while. In a world full of fear kids shouldn’t grow up.
Die momentane Situation in Europa unbeschreiblich und kaum in Worte zu fassen, Musik ist in dieser Zeit natürlich zur Nebensache geworden, ist aber auch eine Form des Ausdrucks und das vor allem für
Künstler. Einer dieser Artists ist Daniel Bewernick-Green aka Hotel California, seines Zeichens "Vater, Ehemann, Lehrer und Bürger eines freien Landes" wie er sagt. 
"This World Wants Peace" sein aktueller Song, ein bzw. sein Ausdruck zum gegenwärtigen Moment, seine Gedanken, Gefühle und Ängste die er mit uns teilt. "This World Wants Peace" von Hotel California ein Song des Augenblicks, wo Angst auf Hoffnung trifft und ein Leben in Frieden und Freiheit nicht selbstverständlich ist.



(Info: Der Song is momentan nur auf Bandcamp verfügbar und alle Einahmen werden von Daniel Bewernick-Green gespendet! )
