‘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.

Finding the Strength to Carry On: “Old Dog” by O KANENAS

“Old Dog” by O KANENAS

We are delighted to present to you O KANENAS, a singer-songwriter from Greece, who has created a musical hidden gem with his EP “High strung”. This EP, which was released in December, is the outcome of a lengthy creative process, in which he honed his skills in composition, lyrics and music production. He skilfully blends different genres, such as classic rock, blues rock and alternative, while retaining his own style. 
A particular highlight of the EP is the song “Old Dog”, which we would like to share with you today. It is a ballad that evokes a rock ballad. Inspired by the story of Xenophon called Anabasis, it narrates the exploits of a warrior who fights for his home and his freedom, loyal and brave, but also scarred and weary, like an old dog, who confronts the hardships. 
The sea is his place of yearning, his escape from the hostile land. As a leader, he has undergone much, but he sticks to his path, his destiny. With the strength and pride of his sword, he is sure that he will return. Life is a struggle, a challenge, but he does not surrender, he advances, he is proud, he is a role model. He encapsulates all this into a ballad that resembles an ode to virtue. A tribute to courage.  Multi-instrumentalist O KANENAS demonstrates his songwriter quality with “Old Dog” and invites you to listen to the whole EP. “Old Dog” is more than just a recommendation, it is an experience.
