Adagio Teas

I just gave up all sodas for tea and you should too. Tea is a bit esoteric but is easy once you get the basics down. Buy yourself some Loose Tea and give it a go.

Song of the Week - You Found Me

You might disagree with me on this one, but The Fray's Isaac Slade makes this song.  His vocal in the chorus is right on.  The strain on his voice sounds great and the fact that he's crying out to God makes it even better.  This is the second song of theirs that hits me in the first couple of words.  "I found God" just hits you with those great low notes and simple melody.  He's got a great feel on singing.  I love his imperfections.  Singing's more than hitting notes.

It's an interesting song when you break it down.  First verse is only piano, then the drums come in the second part of the first verse.  Then the second verse comes in double time and when the chorus comes in, it goes back to normal.  

Did you hear that piano sound in the bridge in the far distance?  That's some great producing or engineering.. depends on whose idea it was. 

lost and insecure,

a sonic short..

Morningside by the wonderful Sara Bareilles

this is one those songs that one particular part makes the song.  this one's bridge makes it. while the chorus is wonderful and groovy especially the second time around because it's twice as long, the bridge definitely wins this time 'round.
