Love can be bittersweet when a girl hears "no"

Not to broadcast another YouTube video... but it is Music Monday Feature!


While I was in England last week I discovered Caro Emerald's music. Caro is a Dutch girl with catchy, jazz infused songs. I seriously love her stuff! ... it sounds so... European? It is not something that fits snugly into the currently North American music scene.

Take a listen below:

Caro Emerald - You Don't Love Me
* Title for this post is from Caro Emerald - You Don't Love Me.

I'll Love You Long After You're Gone

Gone Gone Gone : Phillip Phillips
It's been a long time coming, but here's the latest Music Monday Feature :)   I can't get this song out of my head... not that I would want to! You can view it at YouTube by clicking here.

Who cares what they're gonna say

Jennifer Lopez : Dance Again

This song has been stuck in my head for awhile now.  Maybe it's due to Glee's interpretation of the song last month or just the fact that my local radio station plays it so, so much... I can't seem to escape it!

I just saw this music video today and... well, holey glitter and people-ceiling.  So much could be said, but I think I'll just leave it at that.

It belongs to P.F. Sloan

Rumer: P.F. Sloan

Perhaps its Library/Archival school... but all I can think of is copyright issues when I hear this song.  Pretty fitting for mid-September, I think.

That smile on your face like summer

Matchbox Twenty: Overjoyed

Matchbox Twenty's latest CD, North, was released last week. I fell in love with this song over the last few days and just stumbled across its very own music video. The band and director Ben Boutwell have created such a cute story.

The Civil Wars: 20 Years

I first heard this band and song in England earlier this summer.  Perhaps I feel a bit nostalgic as summer is now mere hours from being officially over... but I swear I can feel myself being transported to Nottingham when I close my eyes and listen to the lyrics.

Hope you all enjoy the last official day of summer and have a lovely Labour Day!  

I'm back to uni tomorrow.   

Remember how that lasted for a day?

Taylor Swift: We are Never Ever Getting Back Together    This song is all over the media right now... and I absolutely love it, especially the emphasized "we"!  The video is way too cute =)   *Post title extracted from Taylor Swift's We are Never Ever Getting Back Together lyrics.

I don't mind if you lie in my bed

Music Monday Feature

Hi everyone! 

I haven't been religiously blogging (and by that I mean keeping up with a schedule of posts) for awhile now.  Earlier today I thought that I needed something to keep me grounded in the blogging world, something to recap the weekend, and perhaps even a little something to act as motivation for whatever is to come during upcoming weeks.  That's when I thought of a Music Monday Feature.

How did music become the solution? 

While I was visiting blog's this weekend I noticed that a few bloggers have installed music players into their sites (ie: you visit their home page and -boom- there's Taylor Swifts' voice).  I love hearing what music other bloggers listen to but sometimes I find it really distracting to be reading posts and paying attention to an artists' lyrics.  Perhaps music would be best enjoyed as a post and feature all by itself?

Tune in to Coffee Tales each Monday for one of my favourite of-the-moment music videos or songs.  Each post will be labelled with a lyric selected from the featured song.  Sometimes less well-known artists will be featured... and sometimes those artists don't produce music videos.  In that case, please excuse any corny graphics that may come along with the YouTube version of a song.

Best,
Ms. C
