‘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.

From Nature’s Fury to Human Struggle: “These Are Burning Days” by E.G. Phillips

 “These Are Burning Days” by E.G. Phillips

A song that not only reflects natural disasters but also the emotional and societal challenges of our time. E.G. Phillips’ release “These Are Burning Days” combines vivid, almost painterly descriptions of nature with deep emotional and psychological reflections on loss, pain, and the human response to such catastrophes. 
The repeated mention of “burning days” and the chaotic winds that fan the flames underscore the unpredictability and intensity of the fires. The biblical reference to Cain and Abel amplifies the sense of ancient, uncontrollable rage and violence that exists in both nature and the human spirit. 
The musical work masterfully blends traditional elements of folk music with influences from progressive rock, utilising the depth of both genres to evoke even more emotion. 
The result is a song that, thanks in part to the contributions of Kenny Schick and Amberly Rosen, has an infinite amount to offer.
