'Look My Way' by The Octopus Division
The inner yearning and profound emotional bond between two individuals, and the pursuit thereof, form the core of 'Look My Way' by The Octopus Division. This latest release embarks on a sonic voyage towards happiness, encapsulated in the precious and fleeting moments that define the relationship.
The poetic imagery underscores the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of love, evident in the necessity to
'wake up every day and fall in love in a new way.' This sentiment is anchored by the assertion that the beloved is 'more than just a moment,' highlighting the depth and significance of the connection.
Musically, 'Look My Way' is an exemplar of evolution within The Octopus Division's repertoire. The track, his most compelling to date, diverges subtly from his 80s retro synth pop roots, incorporating a richer pop sensibility. The romantic narrative woven throughout the song depicts a journey of transformation and redemption through love, offering warmth and companionship even in the darkest times. The Octopus Division masterfully harmonises melody and narrative, enchanting the listener.
'Look My Way' is an ode to the small details of love and the initial nervousness of blossoming romance. It beautifully encapsulates the incredulous joy of waking up next to the one you love, a sentiment that will resonate deeply with listeners.
