As we lay our lockdown troubled heads upon our pillows, and sleep will not come, drift off to the soothing sounds of 'Sailing by', Written by Ronald Binge in 1963, and always played just pror to the Radio 4 late night shipping forecast.

The real question was what kind of a macro can I shoot to capture the true essence of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma or even Echoes. I was thinking something with a standing wave but maybe a project for a later date.
I didn't think the PF thing was going to pan out and my attention soon turned to a little old phone I have. It's a nice old phone, it keeps the old piano company, they share dust. So, making it's debut as an image for Macro Mondays, Lockdown Song, Operator and accompanied by a Jim Croce song of the same name. You just can't go wrong with Jim Croce songs.

I've been down and I'm wondering why
These little black clouds keep walking around

Macro Monday: Lockdown Song
Peter Gabriel - The book of love
I cannot go abroad and also travel far so I have been listening my favourite Peter Gabriel CDs
The lockdown has given more time to reflect about life, to go back to the music that meant so much so long ago. For me, Gypsy has a tremendous value. The nostalgic feeling about the past, the history behind the song (if you google it you can find the whole background) and the symbolism. Gypsy as "free", as young without ties, as enjoying life without worries - everything we cannot have right now... and then Stevie Nicks's voice is extraordinary... and the acoustics of the last minute are sublime. I have heard this song some 1000 times in the last few months... after years of "absence"...
The theme for tomorrows Macro Monday is a Lockdown Song
This image is a Tribute to Gerry Marsden who died early this year....The iconic song is Ferry across the Mersey..........
For Macro Mondays theme; "Lockdown Song."
(A tiny matchbox car nears the city of Denver.)
During the lockdown, most people have dreamed of hopping in their cars, and traveling to their favorite places.
During this pandemic - the Willie Nelson song; "On the Road Again" does it for me. Come on summer- and goodbye to travel restriction's. I am missing my Canadian friends over in the Yukon.

In 2020 - 21, when everything has shut down, movies have turned to the home screen. Here is an oldie that many folks enjoyed and still do!
Bond, James Bond....(1964)
Goldfinger, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
We'll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
Sung by the Scaffold, released in 1968
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_the_Pink_(song)
As with most songs of the times, I was totally ignorant and uncaring of the meaning behind the lyrics, I just loved singing along....
For Macro Mondays "Lockdown song"
I'm referring to the album by The Cure as well as the title track. I remember hearing it for the first time when it was released in 1989 and it completely blew my mind. And I've never stopped listening. You could say it's been the soundtrack to my life.
For the photo I tried many different things but taking this pink grapefruit to pieces seems to have achieved the best image.

For Macro Mondays this week the theme is: inspired by a song. I wasn't so much inspired by one song but was listening to a Spotify playlist of golden oldies and the Beatles song 'Yesterday' came on. Nice to sing along and with it all the memories of days gone by. My eye fell on the little crystal cube with my mother's portrait engraved in it that was given to me at my mother's funeral in May 2019. I had not seen her alive since 2015 since she lived on the other side of the world. Sometimes nice to go down memory lane. And music certainly helps here.
Happy Macro Monday/ HMM
Don't leave
Don't leave
I want you to realise when I'm gone
My, my
My, my
You are the only thing I wanna own
There's sugar on your soul
And you're like no one I know
You're the life from another world
You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you
It breaks my heart to love you
Don't leave
Don't leave
When you're lost in a moment, I am home
I try
I try
To make you realise when I'm gone, gone, gone
There's sugar on your soul
You're like no one I know
You're the light from another world
You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you
It breaks my heart to love you
There's sugar on your soul
There's sugar on your soul
There's sugar on your soul
And your like no one I know
You're the life from another world
You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you
It breaks my heart to love you
Don't leave
Don't leave
I want you to realise when I'm gone

Many genres
This is a ticket stub from a Ringo Starr concert some years ago. I did see him again a couple of years ago. Great show. His line-up changes every few years. The members he has at the time all play their hits as well. It is literally like seeing 5 bands in one night.
My musical tastes all almost all genres. Rock, Prog rock, Jazz, Country (old & new) Blues, Classical and even the odd opera song.
Happy Macro Mondays
macro mondays: Lockdown Song...listened to many different genres and music choices this past year, but one favorite I return to frequently is "Purple Rain", song and Album by Prince. Macro of Ice and Water with colored light.

#lockdown song
One of the favorite songs of my youth. Still love it. and the Lockdown offered me time to listen, to watch and to breathe. A gift as long as you stay healthy and don‘t suffer and your existence is not in danger.
Strange phenomenon.
The beautiful music of " the Police" . Describing the loneliness that corners many people during the pandemic.
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
I'll send an S.O.S to the world
I'll send an S.O.S to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah

Didn't we all eat too much chocolate cake during lockdown!
"Chocolate Cake" is a 1991 song by Crowded House.
Written by Neil Finn and Tim Finn.
"Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
(Piece of that thing on the plate)"
It is our wedding anniversary today. I thought of doing this more colorful interpretation since there are a lot of challenging things going around in the world already. We have to remind ourselves to enjoy the simpler things in life and to always keep positive thoughts. :) HMM!!!
Marry You - Bruno Mars
It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby, I think I wanna marry you
Well, I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go
No one will know, oh, come on girl
Who cares if we're trashed, got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of patron and it's on, girl
Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you. :)
Inspired by the Iron Maiden song "The Number Of The Beast"
#Lockdown #Macromondays
Woe to you, oh earth and sea, for
the devil sends the beast with wrath,
because he knows the time is short
let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number,
its number is six hundred and sixty six."

Yeah, I'm a deeper shade of blue

You're so far, far away

Since last year I've been obsessed with this song.🎵 In my car, supermarket, home, everywhere. Looks like a lot of people like it, too. This is a GI Joe figure toy (head is the size of a dime) and two reading lights (the truck 🚚 lights).
~Days, months go by as we feel like we are at a dead end in this pandemic. But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel (just watch isn't a truck or a train). Will we be able to return to normal soon? Just time will tell.~

Macro Mondays --Lockdown Song
Created for Macro Mondays theme of song title
"Red Red Wine" is a song originally written, performed, and recorded by American singer Neil Diamond in 1967.
UB40 recorded a cover version in 1983 that went to #1 in the UK and was moderately successful in the United States; it was re-released in 1988 and went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. (Wikipedia)
I poured a little red wine into a champagne flute glass to create this image
For Macro Mondays music theme.
The album I have been listening to over and over is Spell Songs by Folk by the Oak, inspired by the book The Lost Words. There are songs to conjure up several birds: owl, goldfinch, kingfisher, heron and lark.
Zu sehen sind ein Teil der Decke, der Randeinlage und der Zarge einer Geige sowie das Rosshaar des Geigenbogen.
"Am Fenster
Einmal wissen, dieses bleibt für immer
Ist nicht Rausch, der schon die Nacht verklagt
Ist nicht Farbenschmelz noch Kerzenschimmer
Von dem Grau des Morgens längst verjagt
Einmal fassen, tief im Blute fühlen
Dies ist mein und es ist nur durch dich
Nicht die Stirne mehr am Fenster kühlen
Dann ein leben schwer vorrüber strich
Einmal fassen, tief im Blute fühlen
Dies ist mein und es ist nur durch dich
Klagt ein Vogel, acht auf mein Gefieder
Nässt der Regen, flieg ich durch die Welt
Flieg ich durch die Welt"
----------
Am Fenster ist ein Lied der Gruppe City. Es wurde 1974 von City komponiert und 1977 auf Schallplatte veröffentlicht. Arrangeur war Georgi Gogow, der Text stammt von Hildegard Maria Rauchfuß. Das Lied, welches ungewöhlicherweise auch mit einer Geige besetzt war, gilt als Klassiker der DDR-Rockmusik.
Mitten in der Pandemie sitzen wir also am Fenster und sehen hilflos dem Geschehen zu. Doch bald "fliegen" wir wieder durch die Welt.
Am Fenster is a song from the DDR group City. It was composed 1974. It's deemed to be a classic of DDR rock music.
I suspect that everyone will know or recognise Steve Gregory's saxophone solo in George Michael's Careless Whisper. Lovely song from my youth. I am also the proud mother of Michiel who took saxophone lessons at the academy for many years. Both the alto sax and the soprano saxophone resounded through the house for years. I loved it so much. At the moment his focus is on studying, but playing the saxophone will certainly come back home. A macro photo of the alto saxophone could not be missing here today.
