This song was lost for 6 years

- It’s story time, and something tells me the children should be in bed before we expose them to this. Dawn Melanie has merged the bone-chilling storytelling of Nordic folk with the wordly pulsing heart of Afrobeat. Somewhere in the distance the heavy presence of a horse and the rider sit, watching, waiting, cloaked by darkness. They say that Death rides a horse, that he’ll come looking for you. Chills - right from the opening lines. “Death Has” is a bilingual English/Zulu track featuring Buda A and Nat Bruzas. Written when the world stood still in 2020 with the Covid pandemic and the world faced it’s reality, life becoming a protected priority more than ever before. Not long after the track was lost to a digital void, only to be recovered and remastered now. Might even say it was a resurrection of sorts From the opening acoustic playing to what feels like an isolated landscape. Layer in the swelling Zulu harmonies, it paints a vast, star-riddled landscape where we may sit and share our tales of life, overlooked from a distance by the subject of our song. It’s a conversation between Fate and Death, urging us not to fear the end, but to consume life while we have it. Our guides await when the time comes, standing idle.
