It's very hard to imagine that "Given Away/ Given Back" all started with an r&b sample from the 90s. The track is gleaming with warm synths and a rhythm that leans towards house, but ultimately a bit of a tough task to actually describe.

And that's part of the reason I was initially drawn to the track as it blurs the lines of genre in quite a fascinating manner. Apart from EAUXMAR exhibiting his virtuosity when it comes to sound design, "Given Away/ Given Back" is also decorated with harps, and these passages which are musically opulent.
