‘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.

‘Day Old Thoughts’ by Arny Margret

‘Day Old Thoughts’ by Arny Margret

Emotional turmoil and self-reflection are at the center of Arny Margret’s new single ‘Day Old Thoughts’. Once again, the Icelander manages to transport us into her world and make us listen attentively. 
‘Day Old Thoughts’ by Arny Margret
Arny not only chisels the eternal struggle for self-acceptance and authenticity into notes but also into poetic lines that vividly describe the search for truth and authenticity in an often confusing and cloudy world
The musical realization mirrors the emotional landscape and the changeable nature of relationships. The vocals literally nestle into the arrangement, rising when the emotion calls for it and falling gently back into the lap of poetry. 
The instrumental part is highly professional and on a par with Arny Margret's performance, or perhaps “worthy” is the better term. 
‘Day Old Thoughts’ may flow quietly and gently like a stream, but there is so much emotion in it that the tension never lets upA wonderful piece of work that deserves congratulations!
