COFFEE TIME

Coffee is more than just a drink. It’s a mood, a culture, a passion. It’s also a source of inspiration for many musicians who have written and sung songs about coffee and its effects on our lives. Whether it’s jazz, rock, pop, or folk, there’s a coffee song for every taste and occasion. Some are sad, some are happy, some are funny, some are romantic. But they all share a common love for the dark, bitter, and stimulating beverage that keeps us awake and alert.

If you love coffee and music, this playlist is for you. It features 100 songs from various genres and times that have coffee in their titles or lyrics. You’ll hear songs that express the joy, sadness, humor, and romance of drinking coffee and living life. Whether you prefer black coffee, cream and sugar, or something more exotic, you’ll find a song that suits your taste and mood. This playlist is a tribute to coffee and music, two of the greatest pleasures in the world. A second volume and a jazz-only compilations are also waiting in the wings. So, stay tuned and enjoy this aromatic and melodic mix of coffee songs. You will find many great tracks in this set.

For example, you’ll hear classics like “Black Coffee” by Sarah Vaughan, which expresses the loneliness of a woman waiting for her lover, and “One More Cup of Coffee” by Bob Dylan, which depicts a doomed relationship between a gypsy woman and a man who can’t resist her charms or  a simple expression of his yearning for a woman who doesn’t love him back or a metaphor for his crumbling relationship (Hey it's Dylan, ones never quite sure).  You’ll hear “Starfish and Coffee” by Prince, which celebrates the eccentricity and uniqueness of a girl named Cynthia Rose. You’ll hear “The Coffee Song” by Cream, which tells the story of a mysterious note left at a café table. You’ll hear “Coffee & Toast” by James, which expresses the gratitude for the simple things in life. You’ll hear Humble Pie rock out on a version of “Black Coffee” written by Tina Turner and that reflection of Tina Turner’s experience of being abused by Ike Turner, and how she used coffee as a way to escape or endure the pain, and “Black Coffee In Bed” by Squeeze, which laments the stains of a lost love. You’ll also discover new and surprising songs and covers that explore the various aspects of coffee culture, such as addiction, romance, socializing, and creativity.  And you’ll hear many more songs that capture the essence of coffee and its role in our lives.

So, grab your favorite cup of joe and enjoy this eclectic mix of songs about coffee. There are many more coffee songs out there, waiting to be brewed and savored. Coffee is not just a drink. It’s a mood, a culture, a passion. It’s music to our ears. (Butterboy)
