Of Death - DarkEmbassy

Description : This track came along quite strangely.
When I was a kid sometimes I saw dead birds in the garden. I always took it upon myself to bury them and make a religious cross out of bamboo sticks to plant on their little grave. I wondered how they fell. Was the wind too strong or did they get hit by something or maybe its time came. Point is, I always got there too late. Once I tried to revive one of them for 30mins. I stuck a straw into its opened beak and started blowing air into its body. There was so much air maggots started crawling out. Another reminder that I was too late.
This time, years later when I'm 22yrs, when all those childhood memories are supposedly forgotten, it hits me.
One day at home we heard this screeching sound and we saw a bird on the floor in the living room barely alive. I held it to see if it was ok but around 5 minutes later it died in my hand.
Our cat at home had sunk its teeth into its lungs since the bird was breathing quite heavily as every breath seemed to be slowing down and its eyes started closing bit by bit. At that time i was thinking how weird it was since I've never been able to see a bird this close up before while still alive and warm. I didn't know how long it had left to go.
I was wondering whether it knew it was dying hence to why it didn't bother trying to crawl off the palm of my hands. Its like it didn't fear anything, just sitting there taking its last breaths while slowly drifting away.
It began to lean, slowly falling on its side. It was gasping for more air. I didn't know what to do, thus I started blowing air towards it hoping it'll be enough. I was looking in its eyes, it looked back.
Staring at each other I suddenly realised what was really going on. That day, two different species, bird and human, were witnessing the same fact of life that is imminent to us all, from two different perspectives. We were both undergoing this experience we all fear, and it didn't matter that we were so different to each other. As two different bodies with completely different abilities and brain size, that moment contained no differences among us as we both understood at that precise moment the exact same thing. I shared an experience with a bird as if it was another human being. It felt really strange that I was connected to it in some way but I felt honoured.
Thus, this track began on that same night as a diary of that particular experience. It symbolises something which frankly is extremely difficult for me to put into words.

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this
