‘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.

Longing & Isolation: ‘Ghost Town’ by Black Rose Moves

‘Ghost Town’ by Black Rose Moves

In the shadows of silence, where the light timidly conceals itself, lies a ghost town – a place forgotten by the world. The melody of ‘Ghost Town’ creeps through the darkness, providing the musical backdrop for a seductive dance of longing and isolation. Forgotten dreams pave the road of existence, and the experiences one encounters contribute to life’s fragility. 
Black Rose Moves presents another staging of an artwork called ‘Ghost Town,’ which combines elements of Darkwave and Post-Punk. The composition is characterized by an intense sound landscape shaped by synthesizers and beats, where the guitar part isn’t merely an accompaniment but creates an atmosphere of hypnosis and trance, captivating the listener. 
The vocals exert an irresistible fascination, reminiscent of a Bowie-esque Jim Morrison following the call of darkness. The new release isn’t just dark; it’s also danceable. ‘Ghost Town’ waltzes alone in a forgotten world, as the clock ticks and we move to its rhythm. We almost lose ourselves in the moment when shadows turn into notes. 
‘Ghost Town’ awaits us all, making us its guests. Black Rose Moves’ ‘Ghost Town’ is a song we’ve been waiting for; now that it’s here, we press play and let the darkness envelop us. Simply magnificent!
