‘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 feeling of full surrender: "You" by Jules Atlas

Jules Atlas

Jules Atlas
Whether in New York, London, Hamburg or Amsterdam: Jules Atlas shows up with nothing but his voice and a guitar to have his audiences instantly captivated by his songs. Born and raised in Hamburg, he took on the challenge of the London music scene at the age of 18 where his regular appearances on the city’s stages quickly turned peoples’ heads. 
His raw guitar playing, vivid melodies and story-telling lyrics spark a Gaslight-Café-nostalgia. Authentic and genuine, melancholic and rousing: Jules Atlas sings folk songs in pop flavour.

Geboren und aufgewachsen in Hamburg, ausgestattet mit großartigen Talenten, Talente, die es braucht, um im Genre des Folks zu reüssieren. Jules Atlas, so der Name des jungen Künstlers, veröffentlichte vor ein paar Tagen seinen Debütsong "You", in dieser akustischen Ballade beschreibt der Hamburger Singer-Songwriter das Gefühl, sich ganz und gar der Anziehungskraft eines anderen Menschen hinzugeben. 
"You" überzeugt einerseits durch seine musikalische Umsetzung und andererseits durch das "Storytelling" selbst. Der akustischen Begleitung, welche in ihrer Fragilität, die Gratwanderung der Hingabe perfekt skizziert, steht die Geschichte selbst gegenüber. Beides verschmilzt mit den Vocals von Jules Atlas zu einem Folk Song besonderer Güte.
