‘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 hearty dose of Acoustic Pop-Punk!

‘Seeing Your Face Again’ by Pat Donnelly

During his early youth, Pat Donnelly discovered the world of metal music and began to play the guitar. Not long after, he was captivated by the universe of pop-punk, which ignited a deep passion for music and inspired him to write his own songs. Pat Donnelly, a singer-songwriter from Tipperary, Ireland, released his latest song ‘Seeing Your Face Again’ last week, offering pure acoustic pop-punk. 
In this song, he processes the emotional encounter with his ex-partner and the realization that both have found their happiness and moved on, while any briefly emerging feelings are to be left unnoticed. He advises, ‘Recognize and hold on to your happiness, even if the situation is challenging.’ 
Musically, the song combines the lyrical depth of the singer-songwriter genre with the raw intensity of acoustic punk to illustrate the clash of old, sensitive feelings and the look into an uncertain future, without casting doubt on the happiness that’s been discovered. 
With ‘Seeing Your Face Again,’ Pat Donnelly makes a promising start to 2024 and presents a song that is likely to resonate with many listeners. The track, of course, finds its place on our Singer/Songwriter playlist, where it can be streamed endlessly.
