If you're like me, when you hear the song 'It's a Small World' (from Disney's 'The Lion King') you feel like you're on a merry-go-round you can't get off, so I apologise for bringing it to mind. It seemed appropriate, though, in so many ways for today's theme.
To give you an idea of scale, the bottle is just over 1" tall.
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Lockdown Song.
"It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears..."
Aaargh, let me off!!!
Knock on Wood -+- Eddie Floyd (1966 original). This classic was later covered by David Bowie, Amii Stewart, and others.
The action of knocking on wood is probably applicable to the current pandemic situation.
Macro Mondays: Lockdown Song. Birdsong by Ludovico Einaudi
I could have chosen any piece by that artist, really. His music is beautiful, inspiring, moving, and it makes me feel like dancing. I have listened to it a lot during lockdown, at home and during walks outside, and danced to it a lot, and still do now.
To me music is dance, and dancing is like flying, hence the choice of that particular piece and of the dancer's arm holding the little swan. This picture really represents the feeling of being caged, the frustration of not being able to dance in a studio or on stage, as I said last week, but also the wonderfully liberating feeling that comes from music and dancing.
Macro Mondays theme: #Lockdown song
The little guitar featured in this picture is 1.5” tall. It is actually a small metal charm.
The title of my lockdown song is “While my guitar gently weeps” by the Beatles. George Harrison decided to write this song when he studied "I Ching", the Chinese book of changes. One of the concepts there is that everything in the world is related. So, he opened a random book, saw a random couple or words—which happened to be "gently weeps"—and began to write a song.

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
The tip of a soprano (L) and shank of a tenor (R) saxophone mouthpiece...
Before I took up photography I was a professional jazz saxophonist, with a special penchant for "Fusion," a combination of jazz and rock. The Dukoff mouthpieces shown here were popularized in the '70's by Michael Brecker, in my opinion the greatest fusion saxophonist who ever lived.
The image scale measures just under 2½-inches across.
Strobist info:
The subjects were illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights, each fired through a Neewer 24" x 24" soft box. The speedlights were placed 45-degrees CL and CR, one-foot above and two-feet away from the subject, facing down at a 45-degree angle. Both speedlights were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄64 -0.7EV power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's.

Frost doesn't form as symmetrically as snow, and notice that this isn't a six-sided flake. I loved the bubbles on this one, and the detail on the largest flake. My husband loved the gradated blue.
Classical music is my favorite for weather- or season-related music, including the days of being mostly inside during winter that coincides with the Covid-19 pandemic. Special ones include Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1 "Winter Dreams," Op. 13 and Ballet of the Snowflakes (from Le voyage dans la lune) by Offenbach.
Thank you in advance for your views, faves, and comments! My first Macro Mondays shot to hit Explore. By the end of its day on Explore, this had become my number-one faved shot, with about 7,000 views and more than 250 faves--and that was at spot #300.

For Macro Mondays - Lockdown Song
----------------------------------------------------------
I love to dance to Prince's music. His song 'Kiss' is one of my favorites to get up and move with during the pandemic lock down. It's a great workout. Lipstick print - 2". HMM, everyone ! !
Great song by Cyndi Lauper with lyrics that can fit the endless loop of pandemic days or the feelings of those who have lost loved ones to COVID19.

Hi,
This is my Macro Monday theme Lockdown Song January 25th, 2021. The photo is inspired by the song Ink by Coldplay.
According to Songfact.com, The central metaphor of this Ghost Stories track is that love is like a tattoo, as being written in ink can hurt, but is a great deal more painful to remove.
This is a difficult shot for me, with the equipment I have.
The small glass bowl that I use causes artefacts in the image and soften the focus. And to get the background as white as possible you need to throw a lot of light, so you end up fighting the battle between aperture to give you enough depth of field and light available. Increasing the depth of field just magnify the flaw in the glass so the morale of the story.... the next time I’ll get myself a small aquarium with plate glass.
In any case, I hope you like it despite the photo shortcoming.
With a lot of time back in March of 2020 I found Samantha Fish on Youtube, so many interviews, songs and concerts shot of her and her band, I soon found myself a fan and love this song Highway's Holding Me Now. Her growing up and in Kansas City MO. that is not that far from where I live so can relate to the bluesy rock she creates. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFTZkpwZgHM&list=RDbFTZkpwZgH... if you like this type of music hope you enjoy it all!
Music from my 'tween years and a classic Canadian rock Inukshuk
Why is it lockdown related? The lockdown provided the time to take down the 100 CDs on the top shelf, dust and listen to what we formally collected on this medium. Records, eight tracks and tapes have been dealt with - the CDs may now also find new homes but not until one final listen and a reminiscence!
This image was created for the Macro Mondays group theme "Lockdown Song".
After Midnight is a Rock / Blues song initially released by J. J. Cale in 1966 and recorded in its iconic version by Eric Clapton in 1970.
J. J. Cale and Eric Clapton are among the many favorites that we've listened to during the lockdown.
I was really stumped with this week's challenge. Music is not a passion of mine. I searched happy song this morning and found HAPPY by Pharrell Williams used in the Despicable Me 2 movie. I cut the letters and glued them to blue card stock. I placed it in the background. I cropped to 3 inches.
It is Sunday, so too late for Smile on Saturday - and I can't believe I didn't think of my little laughing Buddha for the theme. But it fits for the lockdown song - don’t worry be happy cuz we can change how we see and look at the circumstances . So smile - and feel better. It’s nearly a year that Mum and I are in isolation, and it wasn’t easy, so much worrying. So much fear. To be light and happy felt like an affront in the first months. But we are still here, and alive. and a smile won’t hurt. Also a shoutout to Flickr that helped me a lot, turning my mind away from all that, getting creative. So very grateful!
A song that is appropriate for these times is "The Rose" sung by Bette Midler and many others. The photo is of my small bush Rose - the flower is 4.5cm across.
Lyrics :
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed
It's the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
While there isn't one particular song, piano music is my go to music. Depending on the genre, it can relax me, de-stress me, energize me or refocus me. It is by far my favorite instrument.
Sorry, couldn't resist this subject, a lock, for lockdown song! If one is not methodical, it may as well take a thousand years to figure out the combination on this one. Please don't judge me for the (Christina Perri's) song I picked...it was influenced by this lock I had and the theme. 😊

We often have music playing in our kitchen. Art Pepper's jazz-with-strings Winter Moon is the background music to our lives. With teenagers at home, it's more accepted than Mum and Dad's pop/rock or classical music.
Represented here with a pepper grinder and its handle...HMM!

One last HMM this year, for the redux theme I chose one of my lockdownsongs (Unikat by SDP) and wrote the lyrics one one piece of paper which I folded to two probably last papercranes of the year. HMM :)
"Mentre attraversavo London Bridge
Un giorno senza sole
Vidi una donna pianger d'amore
Piangeva per il suo Geordie
Impiccheranno Geordie con una corda d'oro,
è un privilegio raro,
rubò sei cervi nel parco del Re
per venderli per denaro"
This is the unforgettable version, translated in Italian and performed by Fabrizio De Andrè, of an ancient English folk song.
In 1962, the ballad was made popular by Joan Baez.
In recent times, it was performed and recorded in different languages by many artists and groups.
For Macro Mondays' theme: "Lockdown song" HMM
By Muse.
"...You electrify my life,
Let's conspire to ignite,
All the souls that would die just to feel alive."
I'm with You is the tenth studio album by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album was released by Warner Bros. Records on August 26, 2011 in Europe and on August 29, 2011 in the US.
The album cover is designed by controversial British artist Damien Hirst. On July 5, 2011, the cover artwork was released through the band's mailing list. Kiedis described the album's cover art by saying, "It's an image. It's art. Iconic. We didn't give it its meaning but it's clearly open to interpretation."
The cover features a fly sitting on the edge of a pink-and-white drug capsule emblazoned with the disc's title, with the band's name faintly visible up top in white text against a light gray background.
Given that the Corona vaccin is the item of 2021 and the world wide lockdown, this is my take on Hirst's design.
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away

... is my musical genre of predilection. I'm something of an odd bird, in that I fell in love with metal music later in my life, namely in my late '30s. Whereas most metal fans are teenagers who later mellow out as they get older, I followed the opposite path. As a teenager in the '80s, I only listened to pop music. Then, a friend introduced me to some artists he liked and I've never looked back. I enjoy a variety of metal sub-genres, such as Power, Symphonic, Melodic, but mostly Folk Metal, which combines high energy and distortion with traditional instruments and melodies.
My entry for #LockdownSong, Macro Mondays' theme for Jan. 25, 2021.
(That's what the world is today). First released by the Temptations in 1970 it has had many covers, most recently by the cast of "Ain't Too Proud", the musical story of the Temptations.
Reflections - Burt Bacharach, Hal David. Song from a 1973 movie, “Lost Horizon” and sung by Sally Kellerman..
Partial extract from first verse........................
"...................
Cause your reflection reflects in everything you do
And everything you do reflects on you.................."
I have played this song a thousand times this year... It's a peppy song filled with hope and Joy. It gets my heart and soul centered back on what is important.
for HMM "Macro Mondays" and "Lockdown Song"
This is my favorite song ever.
I often find the scattered tiny feathers on my path. I believe they are the signs of my guardian angel who wants to tell me that he is always next to me, in good times and even bad ones. Thank you my angel, I'm loving angels instead
Iron and Wine is the recording name that Sam Beam uses to release his music. Iron and Wine has released six studio albums as well as several EP’s. Iron and Wine has been my go to music during the lockdown and pandemic. There are too many excellent songs to pick just one.
