‘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.

A picture of modern existence: "j'ai tout" by Laurent Corbec

"j'ai tout" by Laurent Corbec

A picture of modern existence and the inner emptiness associated with it. At some point, external possessions are no longer enough to achieve a feeling of contentment. 
"j'ai tout" by Laurent Corbec
In "j'ai tout," Laurent Corbec explains how connectivity and the endless flow of information lead to a feeling of isolation and meaninglessness. Social interactions and digital content stand in stark contrast to inner loneliness, and the search for meaning in life begins. 
"j'ai tout" raises the question of whether the existing abundance, be it material and/or digital, of modern society actually leads to a fulfilled life or whether this abundance rather reinforces the inner emptiness. The lines invite reflection on the true value of possessions and the importance of deep, authentic human connections. 
Ultimately, the song seems to highlight the discrepancy between outer wealth and inner lack and criticises the superficiality of the modern way of life in the thoughtful indie folk & singer/songwriter genre. "j'ai tout" by Laurent Corbec is a thought-provoking piece that many people can relate to.
