“Morning Tea” by Serafyn – A Song Review

     The Facebook list of band members of Serafyn and their abilities provides reasons to be optimistic that their music will be interesting. First, all five members are identified as contributing to the vocals. This gives Serafyn the ability to provide vocalization depth and layering that most bands can only achieve by using processing, such as overdubbing. Second, there are two members who play the cello, which is arguably the best instrument in portraying emotion.

     “Morning Tea” delivers on the promise. The vocals of the three female voices are featured (not those of the two brothers). The effect is powerful, even before the cellos step up. Serafyn is based in Basel, Switzerland. The five members are Anna Erhard (guitar, vocals), Alexandra Werner (cello, vocals), Anja Waldkircher (cello, vocals), Lucas Loew (double bass, vocals), J.J. Loew (percussion, vocals).


Lyrics of “Morning Tea” by Serafyn
Mixing single words and flashing light
At the best and the bad of time

Makes everything seem bigger
Makes everything seem bright
Makes everything seem bigger
Makes us be alright

Mixing someones deeds in morning tea
Drinking all the wild things that they did

Makes everything seem bigger
Makes everything seem bright
Makes everything seem bigger
Makes us be alright

Pointing my long finger while I sing
And now I know that we are all in
Pointing my long finger while I sing

Yeah, we are all in
We are all in, in we are

Mixing someones deeds in morning tea
Drinking all the wild things that they did

Makes everything seem bigger
Makes everything seem bright
Makes everything seem bigger
Makes us be alright

Pointing my long finger while i sing
And now I know that we are all in

We are all in, in we are
