‘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...

#DiscoverNOW: “Punkt.” by Nathalie Weider

“Punkt.” by Nathalie Weider

From the Big Apple to the City of Music, some artists cross the pond and find their muse, just like Sting was an Englishman in New York. Nathalie Weider is one of them, a Swiss lady in Vienna who sings her heart out in her new single “Punkt.” The song is a love letter to a dear one, and a musical adventure with her talented friends. And guess what? It’s her first song in the Viennese dialect, a language that she has embraced as a “part-time Viennese”. 
She says that Vienna has filled her with inspiration and energy for many years, and that she wanted to try something new and daring. She hopes that her listeners will enjoy her linguistic journey, and feel the passion that she put into this song.

Nathalie Weiders “Punkt.” ist eine Offenbarung ihrer Gefühle im Wiener Dialekt, einer Sprache, die sie als “Teilzeit-Wienerin” kultiviert hat. Das Lied ist pur und authentisch, aber mit viel Sensibilität und Integrität. Sie gesteht der Person, wie sehr sie sie schätzt, wie glücklich sie ist, bei ihr zu sein, und wie sehr sie sich wünscht, dass sie dieselbe Empfindung teilt. Sie schließt das Lied mit einem “Punkt.”, was bedeutet, dass dies ihre ultimative und unumstößliche Liebesbekundung ist. 
Das Lied ist eine wunderschöne und rührende Gabe der Dankbarkeit und Zuneigung für die Person, die sie zum Schreiben angeregt hat. Musikalisch tendiert sie dieses Mal in Richtung Indie Rock meets Songwriter, in dem auch die involvierten Musiker, Robert "Bert" Baumgartner (Drums und Piano), Andy Abraham (Bass) und Patrick "Slowhand" (Gitarren) ihr Talent demonstrieren.
