An album by Thomas Dolby that was very much listened to whilst growing up in the 80's, this is my macro nod to this album and a particular track called Radio Silence, the inner workings of a radio transceiver.
By Muse.
"...You electrify my life,
Let's conspire to ignite,
All the souls that would die just to feel alive."
During the Lockdown I have been listening to hundreds of tunes mostly classic rock & classic blues. I purchased two blue-tooth Bose speakers one for Chris & the other for myself.
I composed my own Lockdown Songs. Please enjoy the music.

Rhinestone Cowboy, by Glen Campbell. I don't get to go out except to medical appointments. This song was on the radio and I'd not heard it since I was a kid.
... 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.
S.O.S by ABBA
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?
You seemed so far away, though you were standing near
You made me feel alive but something died, I fear
I really tried to make it up, I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to…
I love Gospel music. This year my favorite song is "Holy Water" by We the Kingdom featuring Tasha Cobb. Favorite lyrics "your forgiveness is like sweet sweet honey to my lips..... like Holy Water on my skin....😍🙏
First recorded by Louis Armstrong but I also like the version sung by Eva Cassidy.
Throughout lockdown I kept coming back to this song and tried to remind myself that we do indeed live in a 'wonderful world'. Many parts of it might be broken, but we can fix them if we work together.
Photographing the world around me has definitely kept me going this last year.
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.

Lockdown Song
Here is a sample- Call It Dreaming from the album Beast Epic
The first weekend in the full lockdown we watched a live remote concert by For King & Country. They debuted a song called Together. We listened to it every day for the rest of the lockdown.
If we fall, we will fall together.
When we rise, we will rise together.
Here is the original performance.

Oh... our daughter is in it at the end.
Another 80 megabyte photo.
(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 the Macro Mondays theme, Jan 25 2021, we were asked to photographically depict a song that we had related to during lock-down. The song that spun through my mind during that time was Queen's "Another one bites the dust".
During our lock-down in New Zealand, at one stage we seemed to have a lot of flies coming into the house (Summer), so we were singing the song as we swatted them.
Funny thing - I had only just managed to stop it singing around in my head all day, when this theme was suggested, but now it's back 😂 LOL
🎶Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust 🎶
Round and around we go
Where the world’s headed, nobody knows
Oh great googa-looga, can’t you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion,
Oh yea, that’s what the world is today...
Macro Monday’s Lockdown Song
Macro Monday. Lockdown Song
Beatles White Album
Black singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Black bird fly, black bird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Written by Sir Paul McCartney as a response to racial tensions escalating in the United States during the spring of 1968.
Very timely in the US now.
"I Am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel. Genre: Folk Rock
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island
Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
"Macro Mondays" "Lockdown Song"
Hello There!
It's Macro Mondays and our challenge this week was "Lockdown Song." I chose an oldie but a goody, "Cinnamon Girl" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Here's the link if you'd like to have a listen:

Macro Mondays - Lockdown Song
This was a song that I first heard on the radio back in October 2020. I didn't hear who it was by or what it was called. After some online 'research' I learned it was by a singer named Celeste, who at that time I had never heard of.
Her voice is 'unique' and once heard you will always know it is her singing. The lyrics are very apt too !!
At around the same time, my grandson had got a new smartphone and knowing how much I love photography, sent me a couple of the images he had taken that day. Like music, there are some images that create an unforgettable impression and this one, in the current climate did it for me...... particularly as it went side by side with my most favourite Lockdown song to date,
'Hear My Voice' by Celeste
If you haven't heard this song, please check it out !!

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.

Macro Mondays: Lockdown Song
I'm an Early Childhood Teacher so some of my favourite songs are from the Putumayo Kids Playground CDs. I've tried to illustrate a few songs: "Bling Blang" (Arlo Guthrie on "Sing Along With Putumayo"), "Mouse in the House" (Marty Dread on "Reggae Playground"), "L'ile Maurice" (Triton on "French Playground"), "Big Kaiman" (Samba Salad on "Animal Playground"), "The Littlest Birds" (The Be Good Tanyas on "Animal Playground"), "Don't Fence Me In" (Johnny Bregar on "Cowboy Playground").
We haven't really been locked down here in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia so it's been work, almost as usual, for me.
A Macro Mondays submission on the theme "Lockdown Song". To properly represent classical music I would have needed to take a macro of a symphony orchestra. So I photographed the only musical instrument I own, a classical guitar. Imagine it playing some Bach.
During the Pandemic my daughter and I have not driven near as much as normal. However it seems whenever we turn the car on the song Watermelon Sugar is playing. My daughter hates it because she can’t get it out of her head. We have even changed the radio station and that station is also playing Watermelon Sugar.
"Lockdown Song" The doggies in the house were thrilled to have their owners staying home in 2020! Lots more cuddle time with a pet!

"Tough All Over" Writer(s): Gary Nicholson, Leslie Satcher Sung by Kellie Pickler
Some days I can take it all in stride
Some days I just run and hide
And I know I’m not the only one
Who has to struggle through this life
Things are tough all over
And Lord I see no end in sight
Things are tough all over
It’s a tender world and you are lost tonight
It’s a tender world and you are lost tonight
It almost makes me feel ashamed
That I found reasons to complain
‘Cause any hard times that I’ve ever had
Your sweet love just melts them away
Things are tough all over
And Lord I see no end in sight
Things are tough all over
It’s a tender world and you are lost tonight
It’s a tender world and you are lost tonight
So leave the paper on the doorstep
I don’t wanna read the evening news
If this world hasn’t figured it out yet
Then love is the best thing we can do
Things are tough all over
And Lord I see no end in sight
Things are tough all over
It’s a tender world and you are lost tonight
It’s a tender world and you are lost tonight
"Candle in the Wind" signifies for me the reason why we light candles - for hope and a better future and for remembering those who have passed.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
Among many genres of music I listen to, I have always liked acoustic work, such as Bob Dylan or Lindisfarne.

For Lockdown Song HMM. The song is "Time Is" from "It's A Beautiful Day"
When I first heard Scarborough Fair, I thought it was the prettiest song I'd ever heard. I was so young that I didn't even know what parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme were. I just knew I loved the melody and wanted to hear it over and over again.
Group: Macro Mondays
Theme: Lockdown Song
From Simon and Garfunkel's "Bookends" album, "A Hazy Shade of Winter".
Lyrics that came to mind and which initiated this for the theme are:
I look around,
leaves are brown
And the sky
is a hazy shade of winter.
For a video of the music:

BTW, it was a very small leaf with small acorns, a new tree in the yard.
HMM!
The winter is very generous this year, really lots of snow and no need to miss the winter vacation... "Tombe la neige!" by Salvatore Adamo
The Beach Boys were one of my parents favourite American bands when I was growing up in the sixties - my personal favourite genre of music is rock and my go to favourite band is Led Zeppelin... but for my parents....
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a.... HMM
