‘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...

Sunset Valley

Nächster Stopp, an diesem Montag, im April, Chelmsford,UK, dort "treffen" wir Roisin O'Hagan und ihren aktuellen Song "Sunset Valley". "...the best things are gonna take time...", lautet eine Zeile im neuesten Track, eine Zeile der Hoffnung, des Glaubens. 
Der Hauptdarsteller in ihrer Story hofft eines Tages die Person, welche er einst liebte bzw. noch immer liebt, wieder zu treffen, wo auch immer sie sich befinden mag. Die besten Dinge des Lebens brauch eben ihre Zeit. 
Musikalisch bewegt sich Roisin O'Hagan perfekt zwischen Americana meets Country meets Indie Pop. Diese brillante Mischung weiß sie geschickt zu nutzen und zaubert mit "Sunset Valley" einen Song der ein wenig an ein romantisches Lagerfeuer unter Vollmond erinnert. Prädestiniertes Storytelling für die zuvor erwähnden Genren respektive kreative Romantik mit einem Schuß Pop a la Taylor Swift wird geboten. 
"Sunset Valley" by Roisin O'Hagan definitiv eine großartige Performance und eine Bereicherung für unsere, wie auch für andere Playlists.
