‘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.

T. Mancuso’s "Gravity": A Synth Pop Masterpiece that Defies the Laws of Physics and Love

“Gravity” by T. Mancuso

In our incessant quest for remarkable tracks, we come across Synth Pop songs by contemporary artists repeatedly. Our quasi-daily portion of newly discovered Synth Pop is presented to us today by T. Mancuso and his current magnum opus “Gravity”, which not only mirrors the zeitgeist of the 80s, but also adroitly spans the chasm to the present. 
Thematically, it is about the gravitational force in the shape of the heart, that is, relationship. In different relationships, different forces operate, in accordance with the 3rd Newtonian law of action/reaction, that is, every action elicits a counter-reaction. It sounds simple, but we know relationships can also be very intricate or become so. 
Musically, the Thompson Twins encounter Peter Gabriel and coalesce into T. Mancuso. You can dance, faithful to the motto of Duran Duran: “But I’m dancing on the Valentine”. To conclude, “Gravity” is a Synth Pop gem that fuses the 80s nostalgia with the contemporary acuity, while examining the mechanics of love and attraction in a compelling manner.
