‘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.

"Summertime Compass (Acoustic version)" by Alexander Joseph

Alexander Joseph

Alexander Joseph

UK based singer songwriter Alexander Joseph goes back to his roots on this foot stomping acoustic version of an early number.
His uplifting songs about overcoming obstacles have been a consistent theme throughout his previous work and he remains committed to channelling important & heartfelt messages through his music.
BBC Introducing have picked up on this and shown great support in the past, selecting two previous songs as their tracks of the week. He’s also hugely passionate about sport, which was the inspiration behind his first EP ‘Anything Is Possible’ and is currently coaching on the British wheelchair tennis program.

Summertime Compass (Acoustic version)

Alexander Joseph is set to release an acoustic version of Summertime Compass on 3rd June 2022. It’s one of the first songs he wrote during his university days over 15 years ago, and this version maintains the relaxed and playful vibe that was originally captured by the band he was part of at the time. The song delivers an optimistic message about the possibilities that lie ahead and arrives just in time for that summer BBQ or trip to the beach!
Der Sommer schimmert schön langsam beim Fenster herein und Alexander Joseph meldet sich zurück. Zurück mit seinem neuen Release "Summertime Compass". Der Song hat zwar schon einige Jahre auf dem Buckel, rausgebracht hat er das gute Stück aber erst jetzt. 
Akustik Pop pur meets Summerfeelings, zurücklehnen, einfach entspannen. Ein Track der einen zu einer spontanen Reise an den Strand inspiriert, sei es nun in Gedanken oder in der Realität.
Alexander Joseph dürfte "seinen" Sound gefunden haben und zeigt mit Summertime Compass erneut auf.
