Remains of the Day

Happy Halloween!

Today is the most spooky and fun day of all year, at least for the ones that have this holiday. And because of that we are celebrating to, with a song from Tim Butron’s “Corpse Bride”  - “Remains of the Day”. The song was composed and sang by Danny Elfman, an American composer, singer and songwriter best known for his work scoring films and TV shows. And my love for this tune comes from the up-beat and happy rhythm and pulse, plus the cheerful way to sing about death. I love it :D

And for the tea, I’m choosing something that fits with the mood, a Spiced Pumpkin Chai. This is a black tea with rooibos and rose hips, cinnamon, ginger, all-spice, cardamom, cloves and last but not least pumpkin spice extracts. It will warm you up and the aroma of rich spices will fill the room while your taste buds will dance. Plus it’s the perfect fall blend and you will absolutely love it.

Any Friend of Diane’s

Hello!

Today I am listening to Weezer’s new album “Pacific Daydream” and my favorite song on it “Any Friend of Diane’s”. This one feels a little different from the track that Weezer has released before, it’s slow, unique and it just something about it, it’s even catch and easy to listen to.  But it seems that people are quite torn about it, either they like it or they just hate it. It’s not that 90s grunge and it looks that their sound has change and for me feels like for the better.

As for the tea, I’m choosing a simple one made from just 3 ingredients. It’s called Red Coconut and it contains: rooibos, coconut flakes or pieces and lemongrass. It’s simple, creamy and far from boring, with the “light” that the rooibos brings to the rich taste of coconut and last but not least the lemongrass that brings this blend to a perfect circle. It’s a perfect and cozy beverage that you can enjoy at any time of day.

Smile Like You Mean It

Hey guys!

Today we are going to listen to “Smile Like You Mean It” by The Killers. The re-uploaded the video they did 13 years ago and it was such a wonderful surprise and it just made me actually smile. It’s a fan favorite and anyone listening to this song can find a different meaning. For me is putting a brave face when you hit hard times and continuing life; fake it till you make it comes to mind. It’s definitely a good song to start the day with.  

And now for the tea, I’m going to choose another green tea. It’s called Elfentau and it’s a wonderful blend of: green tea, like I said before, sunflower petals, cornflowers, rose petals, mango and bergamot. It has a delightful aroma of both flowers and fruits. And if I’m correct, the last time I wrote about it a said: “it’s perfect for any occasion, especially when you want to impress”, so drink it with confidence, it won’t disappoint.

A Hint Of The Sea

Hey you!

It’s been raining here since yesterday  and because of that I think that a tea with chamomile might be the perfect beverage to drink. This one is one of my own blends as well and it’s a combination of: chamomile, ginkgo biloba, stevia, nettle leaves, rose petals, sunflower petals and lemongrass. This will stimulate your memory and brain activity, reduces stress and anxieties, and strengthens your immune system. And the name I gave this blend is Brainiac. 

Now when it comes to the song, I’m choice is going to be “A Hint Of The Sea” by Glories, an American post-rock, ambient, atmospheric band. This is an outstanding song, clear, full of sounds that create a wonderful memory. I especially like that the beginning of the song slowly starts to build up in a way that doesn’t feel rushed and it gives you time to assimilate all the good things about it. It’s the perfect combination for rainy weather.

Cross My Mind

Hey guys!

Today I found a song that I thought it was about love and everything cute about it but after listening a few more times and reading the lyrics I realized that it’s about how imperfect love is and how easily people change, it’s about past lovers and the impact they have on one’s life. It’s called “Cross My Mind” and it’s by ARIZONA featuring Kiiara. I still like this track because it’s full of great vocals and a sound that seems to infiltrate every part of you.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something different. A green tea with green coffee beans and goji berries, acai cubes, apple, white hibiscus, beetroot. It’s an interesting blend called Green Coffee Beans and it has flavored aroma that you will not be able to forget any time soon. It’s good for your health, enhance you energy levels, improves your blood circulation, boosts your mental function, protects the liver and of course it’s perfect to strengthen your immune system. And now…

Dream State

Hey guys!

Today my going to share with you a track that might take you on a ride with a everything it’s going on with its sound. It’s from the electronic, experimental, trip-hop band Son Lux and it’s called “Dream Stare”. It’s filed with layers of synths, woodwinds, walking a fine line of never sounding too electronic or computerized but also it seems like Son Lux deconstructs music itself and patch it back together in their image. Plus this song explores growing up, precisely the understanding of mortality, brilliantly showing the relaxed state of youth.

And for the tea, I’m choosing a green one. Something that will invigorate you, give you a little energy and help your immune system.  It’s called Aloe Vera & Coconut and it’s a wonderful blend made with: green tea, spirulina, vitamin complex with Aloe Vera, coconut, mallow flowers.  It has a wonderful taste, refreshing and light perfect for almost any hour of the day.

You Could Be

Hey you!

Today I am drinking an herbal tea, again from Teavana called Wild Orange Blossom. It’s invigorating and it has a graceful floral hint, it’s full of orange aroma but no so that it will not overpower the blend. It’s a beverage that will warm you to the bone, perfect for cold days, or when you just wanna enjoy life a little more. This tisane has a perfect combination of the following ingredients:  apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rose hip peels, beetroot pieces, apple slices, orange slices, orange peels, orange juice pieces, orange petals, rose petals.

As for the song, I’m going to share with you an electronic, house, chillout track from R3hab & Khrebto. It’s called “You Could Be” and it’s a sweet and easy tune, with a rhythmic and delightful dynamic and it’s about love, or wanting someone/ a certain someone to be everything. It starts with a filing drum beat that its paired with dazzling piano notes and hypnotic vocals. I especially like the pre-chorus and of course the chorus with: “If you let me show you everything/ I can be your everything/ Will you be my everything?”. These are my choices for today, now…

Dancing In the Daylight

Hello!

Today we are listening to a feel good track coming from the indie band Scouting For Girls. The song is called “Dancing In the Daylight”, is characteristic of the band’s usual sound, full with catchy, repetitive lyrics. It’s not particularly memorable or something that stands out so much but it’s a nice addition whenever it pops on your playlist. It’s an upbeat and feel-good track, perfect for hopeful and sunny days.

And for the tea, I’m going to choose Ruby Spice Cider from Teavana.  It’s a combination of: cinnamon, apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, carob pieces, rooibos, ginger, grapes, chicory root, plum pieces, elderberries, orange peels and pomegranate. It’s a great blend, one that celebrates the seasons with festive colors and an awesome taste. That’s it for today, now…

Strange

Hey guys!

I know it’s been a while but I’m back now and starting out usual routine with “Strange” from LP. This song has been released a few months ago but only now I see the power and the beauty with in. And let’s not forget about her incredible voice, and the influence it has over the way you relate to the melody. I especially like the way the piano and harmonica fit right in and create something stunning.

As for the tea, I’m drinking an energetic and yet full of aromas and a taste I’m in love with. It’s called Celebration Time and it’s a combination of: black tea, green tea, jasmine, rose petals and sunflower petals. It is an infusion that you will appreciate for both the strong and fragrant taste and the revitalization it produces. It’s definitely one of my favorites especially when you add a little milk and honey.
