‘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.

An emotional ride through open fields and dark tunnels: "Same" by Said Sara

"Same" by Said Sara

Said Sara
San Francisco singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Said Sara (aka David Benson) is coming full-circle. The alt-folk acoustic Said Sara is a genuine extension of singer-songwriter David Benson’s musical and psychological essence. Its music is as all-encompassing as it is personal. As a child of the 70’s, he grew up on the singer-songwriters of that era: Stevens, Croce, Taylor, Buckingham. Said Sara is a true passion-project which has become a compulsory infatuation. From its inception, Said Sara has been driven by unrestricted instinct. 
It is formed of true heart and avidity, and its confinements are few. David lives with his family in San Francisco, where he was born and raised. He is a Special Education teacher at a public high school in San Francisco. Same is Benson’s most intimate (and catchiest) release to date, a dark pop/alt folk anthem for musiclovers around the world, a must listen, I'd say, for everyone out there.
