The musical project embraces the skills of musicians from different continents, so it’s appropriate that the debut single from Octave music Records interweaves the sensibilities of different genres. At times, “Hello Darling” includes touches of the Pop Rap sound of Black Eyed Peas, such as during the rhythm-driven verse that begins at 1:47. There are also touches of two Jack Antonoff bands, such as the Bleachers-like Rock guitars beginning at 3:11 and the Fun-like vocal approach during occurrences of the chorus. The song is dynamic, but always energetic.
“Hello Darling” was written by Josh Stevens, who also provided the vocals. He is based in Los Angeles. The instruments are skillfully played by Kazuto Suematsu (guitar), Ryo Nakamura (guitar), Hiroshi Sekita (bass), and Seiichiro Hayakawa (drums), all of whom are based in Japan.
The lyrics are at the bottom of this post. “Hello Darling” is about being separated from your loved ones while on tour. There is a specific reference to “my daughter.” The positive news is that he will be home before the sun comes up. The vocal inflections of Josh Stevens evidence his commitment to the message.
In addition to the guitar work at 3:11, we are fans of the higher frequency guitar that bears the back-and-forth cadence of a railroad crossing. The cadence is heard at various times, but is most easily isolated by listening to the final seconds of “Hello Darling.”

Lyrics/Compose：Josh Stevens
Here’s to new beginnings
The clock falls faster every year
Or is it me?
Here’s to new beginnings
Can’t change the past can only
Stay with you right now my daughter
Where did the time go?
Hello my darling
No need to cry
I’ll be right by your side before the sun comes up
By your side before the sun comes up
Keep counting the stars
The circus spins
Each city I’m in
More faceless friends
Blurred with grins
Cheers to the loneliness wins
Shots!
The marathon begins
Hey!
I know I’m not perfect
Hey!
Every moment with you is worth it
Hey!
For you, my final curtain’s (or curtains?) closed
Memoirs of a traveling man
Hello my darling
No need to cry
I’ll be right by your side before the sun comes up
Keep counting the stars
Hello my darling
Never let ‘em steal your smile
The future’s yours
Leap off my shoulders now
Memoirs of a traveling man
Home away from home
5000 miles to go
Each hotel room the same
From the paintings to the phone
Hello darling
I’m here, keep watching
Retire these profits just to wash your tears often
Hey!
I know I’m not perfect
Hey!
Every moment with you is worth it
Hey!
For you, my final curtain’s closed, closed
Memoirs of a traveling man
Hello my darling
No need to cry
I’ll be right by your side before the sun comes up
Hello!
Keep counting the stars
Hello my darling
Never let ‘em steal your smile
The future’s yours
Leap off my shoulders now
Memoirs of a traveling man
Memoirs of a traveling man
Memoirs of a traveling man
Hello my darling
No need to cry
I’ll be right by your side before the sun comes up
Hello my darling
Never let ‘em steal your smile
The future’s yours
Leap off my shoulders now
Memoirs of a traveling man
