‘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.

Discover the beauty of everyday moments with Flora Falls' “Everyday Love”

“Everyday Love” by Flora Falls

Today, we’re spinning Flora Falls’ latest release, “Everyday Love,” on our virtual turntable. It’s been a while since they last put out new music, but they’re back, filling the air with their delightful melodies.

This track celebrates the beauty and significance of everyday love - the little, unremarkable moments and habits that truly make a relationship special. When you reach that stage, you feel a sense of security and comfort, realising that true love isn’t about grand, dramatic gestures but the small, everyday moments that enrich our lives and relationships. 
That’s the essence of “Everyday Love,” which they illustrate with charming examples and perhaps a few anecdotes. 
Musically, this release leans towards folk with a touch of pop, perfectly complementing the theme and allowing the harmonies to shine. The duo’s vocal performances blend seamlessly, giving the song a timeless intensity. The chorus is catchy and memorable, and the varied arrangement makes the song feel shorter than it is, likely because listeners see themselves in these moments.
So, we sit here with the realisation that the true beauty of love lies in those everyday moments that often go unnoticed. Some of us already know this, while others will hopefully discover it soon.
“Everyday Love” by Flora Falls - what a beautiful way to brighten the day!
