‘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.

The Fragility of Faith: “I Should’ve Known” by Gaya

“I Should’ve Known” by Gaya

In the sun-drenched expanses of Santa Monica, where the Pacific whispers its secrets in an eternal murmur, the quest of Gaya unfolds. As a scion of the City of Angels, she lets her soul sway to the urban rhythm until the whims of fate sweep her across the seas in 2006. Yet the siren song of the pulsating symphony of Los Angeles lures her back to the place where it all began. 
Gaya, a muse true to her own legend, breathes life into the art of songwriting. With the flourish of a masterful brushstroke, she adorns her melodic creations and shapes the visual soul of her singles. But it is only in the realm of harmonies and rhythms that her true essence blossoms.
“I Should’ve Known” tells the tale of a soul that, in the innocence of youth, blindly trusts, only to later taste the bitter flavor of betrayal. Despite unmistakable signs, the painful realization comes too late, leaving only the desperate wish that one had interpreted the signs earlier. The “Trojan Horse” serves as a metaphor for deception and cunning, it is the symbol of the insidious trap hidden behind enticing facades. Emotional turmoil and betrayal manifest in sleepless nights and the grueling feeling of broken trust. The song is a warning to listen to one’s instincts and learn from the mistakes of the past.
Gaya’s vocal quality and the authenticity of her lyrics speak of raw honesty. In conjunction with her music, she creates a vulnerability and depth that captivate the ear and touch the heart in a subtle way. “I Should’ve Known” by Gaya is a flight beyond mediocrity, a song that stands out and is destined to be more.
