‘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.

“Arapsi” by julakim, julakim Trio

“Arapsi” by julakim, julakim Trio

Julakim returns and, as of yesterday, presents us with her latest work, “Arapsi.” The lyrics of the song, written by Pedro Agi, are distinguished by their profound expressiveness. In “Arapsi,” Julakim transforms an allegory about human striving for a higher existence and inner peace into musical sounds. She addresses the longing to transcend the boundaries of the everyday and to strive for something greater, even if it means leaving the familiar behind.
The work is distinguished by a touch of psychedelia that provokes reflection and has a profound effect. Julakim succeeds in making the persistent connection to another world audible and restructuring thoughts on transience. The interpretation of Pedro Agi’s poetic text is highly accomplished. The musical implementation drapes the work in a melancholic veil, leading listeners into a world of reflection and quiet remembrance. The text was not forced into a form but guided by Julakim’s emotions, which she experienced through the loss of her Brazilian adoptive grandfather.
The result is an impressive work by Pedro Agi and Julakim that provokes thought, deeply moves, and strengthens our hope that memories live forever.
