‘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.

“To be free” a musical Sunday delight by Graham Coe!

“To be free” by Graham Coe

What could be more edifying for a Sunday than a new opus by Graham Coe? “To be free” was released on Friday and Mr. Coe endows this release with his distinctive flair. The singer and songwriter from Wicklow, Ireland, is no newcomer to us and has augmented his musical versatility with the last singles (recall “Nothing but tears” or “AnnMarie”). 
This time we have a Graham Coe who evokes his beginnings. Textually plain and yet imbued with emotional profundity and rendered in the finest indie folk attire, he pursues the aspiration for freedom, but freedom on a different plane. The aspiration for freedom, security and support often prevails at the top priority, especially when one is beset by self-doubt, fear and loneliness. With “To be free” Graham embarks on the quest for someone who can console and guide him, give him a lucid direction, or indicate the route that has his identity as his aim, his locus in the cosmos. It is not a given to find someone, that is, to have someone by your side who has faith in you and liberates you from self-doubt. And that is precisely what one should be thankful for. 
“Oh to be free” as an utterance of a yearning, to be free of troubles. “To be free” a musical Sunday delight that you can also savour during the week!
