‘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...

"Amen" by Davy Lyons

Davy Lyons

Davy Lyons

... is an Irish songwriter, musician, poet, and actor. Family gatherings in his childhood, where music was always vital, are the root of his creative endeavours. His first dream was to become a professional footballer. In 2016, he moved to Barcelona where he began playing on the street. His live shows developed a reputation as intense, binding, and unique experiences for the audience, an intimate journey where words and melodies come together, where silences are allowed to reverberate.
Sound poems written with the fountain pen of Lyons’ soul with brushstrokes of folk, jazz, and gypsy added by his band. In 2019 he released his first album, Evidence. ’Amen’ is the first offering from his second record, ‘The Human Factor’ produced by compatriot David Duffy. The album will be released in Feb 2023 with Dutch label King Forward Records.

Amen

Davy Lyons, singer/songwriter
Ein irischer Liedermacher der in Barcelona lebt, Davy Lyons veröffentlichte dieser Tage die erste Single, namens "Amen", seines bevorstehenden Albums "The Human Factor", welches im Februar 2023 erscheinen wird. 
Ein Lied das uns auffordert sich Gedanken zu machen, zugleich ermuntern soll Danke zu sagen, Danke zu den kleinen Dingen die unsere Aufmerksamkeit verlangen um uns glücklich zu machen. Wenn uns das gelingt, sind wir angekommen, angekommen im Leben. 
Wunderbares Thema, umgesetzt im Genre Singer/Songwriter meets Alt-Folk. Musikalisch vermag Davy Lyons zu überzeugen und arrangiert die lyrische Thematik gekonnt. Einerseits gestaltet er das Arrangement zurückhaltend, was den Lyrics sehr entgegenkommt, andererseits verleiht er durch die kleinen Details dem Thema enormen Ausdruck und zieht so den Hörer in seinen Bann. "Amen" von Davy Lyons wird auf alle Fälle Genre- sowie Musikliebhaber zu gleichen Teilen begeistern und auf vielen Playlists seinen Platz finden. 
Für uns bleibt nur zu sagen, perfektes Vorabrelease zum neuen Album, die Neugier wurde geweckt und wird hoffentlich durch ein weiteres Release, bis zum Erscheinen des Long Players, verkürzt.
