Day 2: A song equivalent of a pumpkin spice latte or warm apple cider

A warm apple cider. For some reason, this song reminds me of an autumn day and a warm fire on a cold November night. I once used the lyrics in this song in conjunction with an essay by Henry David Thoreau for my class. At first, I said this was a 19th Century poem. After reading the lyrics and discussing it along with Civil Disobedience, I played them the song. They loved it.

"As I lay beside the fire
I am easy to inspire
There is little I require"

Warm apple cider is the New England beverage equivalent of gemΓΌtlichkeit. It's cozy, comfortable, warm, and friendly. It's what you drink after coming in from chopping wood for the fireplace, or making snowmen in the yard with the family. It melts the snow off your boots and radiates warmth through your whole body. It's the closest thing humans have come up with to a magical healing potion.
I don’t know any of the first stuff but the last part’s spot on. Good with whiskey too.

So I used today's prompt as an excuse to whip up some pumpkin spice syrup and make a latte πŸ˜‹ Way better than Starbucks but still basic. I'm not actually supposed to have a psl or apple cider but I always found that both brought comfort and warmth even if they now bring on allergies as a little bonus πŸ˜‚

The music equivalent minus the allergies is Oh Wonder. They're re-recording their first album one single at a time and it's just perfect to me.

Oh Wonder - Dazzle
 
But this is definitely a comfort blanket song; like a nice glass of spiced, mulled wine....
Mulled wine is on the same wavelength as hot cider, IMO, spot on
Can it be hot chocolate with brandy or a Spanish coffee from Tio Pepe's? If not, definitely cider.
Maybe? If those are the vibe equivalent in your mind. I think of hot cocoa as something slightly different and never had Spanish coffee, though my interest is piqued. Your pick definitely felt cider-y to me
Jon Batiste is such a light. I adore him
1000% he is incredible
Day 2: A song equivalent of a hot fall beverage:

I choose a hot 🌰 Chestnut Praline Latte
Since that wasn’t the prompt… is CPL a PSL equivalent or cider? 🧐😜

Day 3: A song in a foreign language
Haere Mai
Cara Pewhairangi
In Te Reo


Haere Mai e ngā iwi e Haere Mai
Mauria mai te aroha ki te marae e.
Kia ora rā!
Kia ora rā ki ngā ope Tūārangi
Kua eke nei ki tōu marae e te iwi e
Karanga rā!
Karanga rā ki ngā ope e tau nei
Kua eke nei ki tōu marae e te iwi e
Haere Mai nau mai e ngā iwi e
Haere Mai nau mai e ngā iwi e
Kia ora rā
English lyrics

Welcome
all iwi welcome
Bring forth your love
to the marae.

Call us
the visiting groups from afar
who have arrived
onto the marae, O people.

Good health
to every iwi here
Bring forth your love
to the marae.
Good health.
