Follow You

Being excited about the Electric Castle Festival, that will take place this summer, here, in Romania, I started listening to the bands that are coming and especially to those that I want to go to the festival for. One of the bands that I want to see the most, that’s also the headliner, is Bring Me The Horizon. They have a song that I didn’t like that much at first because it’s not exactly what I was expecting from them (I think they’ve changed styles), but when I listened to it the second time, I realized that I’m enjoying it. I think I like it because I can relate to it so much.

The song I’m talking about is called „Follow You”. It’s a love song with the hook „I will follow you, because I’m under your spell” and „I'll be your gravity, you be my oxygen” which is my favorite lyric, by the way. It’s a very poetic track with a good and interesting blend of lyrics, melody and, of course, the lead singer’s (Oliver Sykes)voice that just brings everything together.

Since this song is some kind of love declaration to someone, the perfect tea should be the same. That’s why I’m choosing a tea more for the name than for anything else, even though they are all in sink. The name of the tea is „Romeo & Juliet”. It’s a blend of rooibos, apple pieces, cinnamon, cocoa peel & peppermint – the perfect taste for the perfect song.

Imagination

Hello!

Today I started the day with a tune stuck in my head and I thought „this is something I should write about”, so that is what I’m doing right now. This song calms me down, but also keeps me pumped up (in a good way) for a period of time. It reminds me of a car ride when I was angry, and as soon as it begun, I forgot what was going on and I started feeling better.

„Imagination” by Gorgon City featuring Katy Menditta is an infectious track that makes you sing the chorus with no problems. It’s an up-tempo house song with deep house influences and Katy’s voice just goes along with it perfectly. Her deliverance of „I need you to use, use, use, use, use, use your imagination” is stunning. No wander I woke up in a good mood.

Now let’s see what tea is a match for this song. I’m thinking ginseng because it has a relaxing and soothing effect on the body. Plus it’s an herb very commonly associated with love (and that is what the song is about). Ginseng tea reduces physical and mental distress, relief from menstrual problems and reduction in obesity, improvement of digestive disorders and a boosted immune system. You can drink it for its health benefits, for the taste or to improve your mood; ginseng is perfect for all.

Forever Lost

This is a song that I've loved for the past four years. It's pretty sad, full of melancholic sounds, but it makes me feel good although it’s the kind of song that you would listen to when you feel down.

The song is called "Forever Lost" and it's by God is an Astronaut. Weird name for a band, I know, but I think this is actually one of my favorite names especially when it comes to this music genre. It's called post-rock, the genre that I love the most. This is what I listen to when I'm by myself. The band comes from Ireland and is currently one of the world's biggest instrumental groups. And like all the bands nowadays, they describe their music as "a photograph or a snapshot of who we are in that moment of time". That's pretty great since I love their music.

Like I said before I've known it for the past four years or more. It's a beautiful, relaxing and moving, and absolutely incredible song. It starts a little slow and kind of depressing, but slowly begins building up more and more and by the first minute you are hooked. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. The last 2 minutes build up to the point where you can't let go and you shouldn't. I absolutely adore this song and I wanted to share this experience with you.

Since this could be a song that you listen to when you're down, I think it will pair up nicely with a citrus tea, like orange or lemon, or even better, try honey lemon tea.

Because the scent of citrus has been proven to boost your mood, and tanks to the high level of antioxidants found in tea, this makes a far better choice for the blues than a bottle of Jack Daniel's or a bucket of ice cream, even though you sometimes need that too.

Citrus has a lot of benefits, and in combination with tea all those benefits are doubled. That makes them a must-have, a must-try of the day.

Here is how you should make it, and the ingredients you need:

1 cup of water

2 teaspoons of honey

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Heat the water, but don't bring it to a boil, then add the honey and the lemon juice and mix until the honey dissolves. That is it. If you want it to be sweeter add sugar.
