The Amber Labyrinth ~Night of Labdanum~

This song is an exquisitely aesthetic and decadent jazz piece dedicated to middle-aged adults who feel suffocated by societal ideals and perfectionism, losing touch with their inner self.
Set against a dense synth drone reminiscent of dripping honey, the ominous, twisting low notes of the bassoon combine with a lazy, muted trombone melody to pull the listener into a cozy sense of confinement. The lyrics depict a powerful emotional transition: the protagonist, who has spent long (years) living correctly to satisfy surrounding (people), experiences the plant-derived yet animalic (leather/musk) sensuality of Labdanum. She breaks the cage of reason and willingly lets herself be captured by the amber labyrinth. It is a track of deep indulgence, providing a luxurious escape for nights when one wants to dissolve all justifications and surrender to the warmth of raw instinct.
