‘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.

"Crazy" by Alayisha

Alayisha

... has been singing since she was a young girl, but it wasn't until 2017 that she started to take the creative outlet seriously. That same year, she became a part of the music duo, Spilled Honey. Together they performed at venues around NYC including: The Sidewalk Cafe, Pianos, and The Shrine.
As a solo artist, Alayisha's songs tend to focus on mental health and relationships. Although Alayisha makes music to express herself and release intense emotions, anyone who is on the journey of self love and reflection will find themselves connecting to her songs.


Crazy

Heute besuchen wir Brooklyn, NY und damit die dort ansässige Indie-Künstlerin Alayisha, welche am vergangenen Freitag ihren neuesten Song "Crazy" veröffentlicht hat. In „Crazy“ geht es darum, zu erkennen, dass eine Beziehung nicht mehr dort ist, wo sie einmal war, und dass sie vielleicht auch nie mehr dorthin zurückkommen wird. "...seeing the other person and seeing them doing things and living their life without me...", so Alayisha selbst. 
Diese Erfahrungen zu machen bzw. diese Emotionen zu durchleben war ihre Inspiration. Musikalisch ist es eine brillante Mischung aus Singer & Songwriter und Jazz, mit einem Hauch Pop versehen a la Raveena oder auch Arlo Parks. "Crazy", ein trauriger Background, aber ein fantastischer Song by Alayisha!
