‘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.

‘MAGIC!’ by Oghamyst, Rosie Byron, Jama NV

‘MAGIC!’ by Oghamyst, Rosie Byron, Jama NV

The year is also coming to an end for Oghamyst, but not without another release on the market. ‘MAGIC!’ is the name of the great pop tune created in collaboration with Rosie Byron and Jama NV. 
‘MAGIC!’ by Oghamyst, Rosie Byron, Jama NV
The song paints a picture of life characterized by light and shadow - a balancing act between ecstatic joy and deep sorrow. ‘MAGIC!’ is an ode to human resilience and the ability to find moments of magic despite all the adversity one encounters during their journey. The passage ‘Share a little laughter, Share a little cry’ reminds us that shared experiences, whether happy or sad, make life worth living. Acceptance as a simple wish and the search for a dream that can be pursued are the common threads of the theme. 
Musically, with ‘MAGIC!’, Oghamyst wields a fine blade in the genre of contemporary pop, infused with a good dose of sadness. The instrumentation is extremely well done, with twists and turns that keep the track interesting. 
‘MAGIC!’ by Oghamyst (Rosie Byron and Jama NV) is a successful conclusion to 2024 and leaves us looking forward to 2025!
