orange pekoe -- Love Life

 

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday today. To be honest, it's looking a little threatening out there in the GTA; the weather forecasters have been predicting some showers followed by sun. But wherever you are, may good fortune shine on you, meteorologically or otherwise.

Perhaps some orange pekoe (the brand of tea and/or the Japanese duo) might help some of you going through the post-Sunday breakfast stupor get back up and running. I don't have the tea but the duo is helping out just fine with "Love Life", a track from their May 2002 debut album "Organic Plastic Music". Written by vocalist Tomoko Nakajima(ナガシマトモコ)and composed by guitarist Kazuma Fujimoto(藤本一馬), there's some infusion of samba and happy bass-led jazz which seems to have come out from some French bar circa 1960s.

From the same album, I've also covered "Taiyo no Kakera" (太陽のかけら), orange pekoe's debut single, and "Yawaraka na Yoru" (やわらかな夜). Enjoy!
