coachshipley It is one thing to listen to 8via on Twitch and another to be carried track by track on the totally journey she has amassed in this album. Each song supports the next one. Favorite track: Riverside.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Octavia McAloon, aka "8via" on Twitch, is one of the most remarkable streamers in the "music" segment on this streaming platform. She plays lots if original songs on her channel, and it's good that she does so, because they are the highlights of her performances. The most salient characteristic in her songwriting is the use of awesome lush vocal harmonies, as well as occasional odd rhythms. It's basically folk music - but a very elaborate one. Visit her on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/8via Favorite track: Stormcall.

To The West 03:38
River flow, and the mountain snow Call from the west. Trees of green in a wild unseen, Follow west, Back to where you started from. There is one who knows all the words you lost From years ago, And there's one who sees the lines, the steps, the aching depths, From years ago. It's not waiting here for you, What you left up to fate. The life you found but didn't choose, Oh, you still know the way To the west. Foggy morn, and a heart untorn Call from the west. The crooked love between crow and dove Call me west, Back to where I started from. With nights I used to know the paths that lead Through the moonglow. The days I used to see, the buck at bay, the bended tree, From years ago. Home is waiting there for you, With the time that ebbs away. But you have your life to choose, Oh, you still know the way, To the west.
