Continuing with the Blog Week Birthday Bastion Posts... Today's Blogging prompt is a video one Tommy Cash, Espresso Macchiato, Eurovision Song Contest for Estonia Note: The video shared in the message board for this prompt wasn't working for met. It may not be playable in the U.S. but I was able to track down the playable version above. If you have perused this blog before. You'll know that this type of prompt falls under my wheelhouse. I love blogging about music and sharing songs. This song is new to me but it seems really enjoyable. It kind of reminds of Dragostea Din Tea by O-zone (aka the Numa Numa song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILtz5nX3_fc ). I think because it is sung by a foreign singer and sort of zany and catchy at the same time. The lyrics of Espresso Macchiato sung in Italian are fun and even not knowing Italian they are fun to follow along with. The phrase Espresso Macchiato energizes a person just like an actual shot of expresso would. The song has a nice Jazzy beat that really makes a person want to get up and dance. The music video for this is really fun to watch as well. The singer Tommy Cash has some fun dance movements. He is particularly entertaining to watch in the opening scenes where he is dancing with a duplicate version of himself in sync. The visual aesthetics of the music video are awesome. The duplicate versions of the lead: One dressed in brown suit with white hair while the other version is dressed completely in black catch the viewers eyes and pull them in. I also really got a kick out of how the Brown and black versions merge together later in the song. Thinking about it, the black and white / brown mix together in a similar fashion to how black coffee and creamy brown coffee would in an Espresso Macchiato. It is a cool connection with the songs title and lyrics. The chorus' playful lyrics involving a easily recognizable Italian words are really catchy and stick in a listener's head. I imagine I will be listening to this song multiple times over the next couple of days. ![]() Word Count: 364 words Written for: "Blog Week Birthday Bastion 2025" ![]() |
