Mine were among others octopus and walking. I can imagine both in my music. I thought about a possible story:
A young lady called Olivia was walking, feeling sad and lonely. She looked at the road and saw an octopus. The octopus was called Broog. He was from another planet. Broog happened to visit the planet Earth on that day. It was his first visit. He didn't know what to expect. At first Olivia felt frightened and alarmed, but she later realized that the octopus was a gentle giant. He wanted to have a chat with Olivia to find out so many things as he was curious about the Earth and people living there. They spent the whole day together and they didn't want to part. It seemed in spite of everything, something was connecting them. In fact, Olivia felt as if she was almost an octopus herself. But it was the time for Broog to go. Would they meet again?
Anyway, it's just my take on the story. You might have a very different one in your mind. Thank you for listening and for sharing your thoughts. Please let me know if you would like to collaborate with me.

The story is also super cute and describes quite well how I envisoin a friendly alien octopus would approach us humans. I feel like the music is sketching the fantasy world where the story happened. The music definitely has a bit of an 'under-water-y' feel to it. Although the song could definitely have a story-arc too. I liked the slightly unexpected ending.
In short: it's totally lovely :)
