\nWelcome to this week’s Writerly Bundle! A post where I hope to inspire you with three of the world’s greatest things: music, words, and tea.<\/p>\n

What do people in the show Lost<\/i> eat a lot? That’s right. Mangoes! Since I have a Mango tea today for review, I thought it appropriate to theme this post after the show. <\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe Song:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe Survivor’s Theme<\/span><\/div>\n
\nfrom the Lost soundtrack<\/span><\/div>\n

\nOne thing Lost did really well was it’s soundtrack. It’s one of those shows where you expected most of the music to be obscure light rock songs, but no they decided to actually invest in the score, and it’s beautiful. This piece is a gentle orchestra. It’s melancholy and a bit resolute. It’s a song where you can almost here the string’s saying, “What are we going to do?” But there’s still hope in the music. Then near the end the piece picks up into an intense finish. This is a very versatile piece and can be used across many genres, including fantasy, sci-fi, and even contemporary. <\/span><\/div>\n
