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.
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....😍🙏
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:

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
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.
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.
"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!
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.
from the 40s/50s/60s.
Here is a song from one of my latest purchased CDs:
Barrett Strong "Money (That's what I want)" -
1959 - Rhythm-and-Blues

M42 to Nikon F adaptor without glass shortens a little bit distance to the object too.
For Lockdown Song HMM. The song is "Time Is" from "It's A Beautiful Day"
HMM- the macromonday theme for today, 1/25, is music- song titles, albums, or general genre. i have 9 possibilities. this one and the "Putting on the Ritz" are my two favorites. I’m partial to this one
and the photos app that keeps on quitting on me ~sigh~, so editing and cleaning up are a little sketchy today..
Macro Mondays theme: Lockdown Song
My recording of the David Bowie/Queen classic Under Pressure got a lot of play even before the lockdown but it seems to have double significance now, especially since we had to move a household of 17 years during the last few months.
The picture is of a sixth scale book in a clamp under pressure to glue the pages together. Staged for the photo as I haven't had a spare moment to work on my hobbies while we continue to put the house in order. As it happens the title of this book I was lucky enough to find in my stuff is Not Dead Yet. And we are. Not dead yet.
"This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure..."
HMM
Among many genres of music I listen to, I have always liked acoustic work, such as Bob Dylan or Lindisfarne.
"Everyday" by Buddy Holly
This little Gizmo (about 50mm/2" in diameter) has made me realise I should have saved my 2010 wall calendar and used it again this year! More money for lockdown treats.
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
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice
Pink Floyd--Thin Ice
This was the 2nd song that came up in iTunes. That's how I came up with the "Lockdown Song"
I picked up this pretty disgusting "flasher" brooch at a resale shop years ago for giggles and never had any use for it. For this week's Macro Mondays theme...I photographed it to represent the song "Flash" by Queen from the motion picture soundtrack of the 1980 Flash Gordon movie.
Heart-shaped detail from a crystal, for #MacroMondays #LockdownSong
My lockdown song: "I Love It," Icona Pop, or possibly just rock for a genre (though Icona Pop is pop and technically I've photographed a mineral).
Taken at 2x magnification but aggressively cropped. Heart detail is ~4 mm across at the widest.
. . . My Music Pulls Me Through"
"Music" - John Miles (1976)
The #MacroMondays #Lockdownsong theme
You'll appreciate that fitting the nine feet of brass tubing found in a trombone into a 3" MM image presented an interesting challenge this week. Here is a small part of the whole instead, namely the three parts of the instrument - the mouthpiece, the slide assembly and the bell where they connect with each other. Featuring a musical instrument in this week's challenge is a nod to the idea that listening to music and/or learning to play has been an important part of pulling many people through this difficult year.
The photo is focus stacked, converted to monochrome and then sepia toned which, for brass, is an effective and alternative approach to colour popping. It was taken as shown using a 12mm extension tube.
HMM all . . . and enjoy!
For Macro Mondays Lockdown Song, here's my interpretation of Royal Blood's Out of the Black.
Thanks to Ken Scott for reminding me how much I loved this two piece band from Brighton (not far from us). Sadly I haven't seen them live, but the Virtual Glastonbury 2020 near the end of Lockdown 1.0 in June helped me reconnect, and their two albums soon became part of my regular playlist, especially in Lockdown 3.0...
My son was given this bass guitar years ago. He hardly ever used it, being totally immersed in the drums. I can't bear to get rid of it, and it has featured occasionally in previous 365's. You may notice one of the strings is missing! I enjoy the way the strings appear to be vibrating thanks to the dof.
Width of fingerboard 1.5".
Processed to be more contrasty and gritty, just like their music. Apologies for one swearword in the attached video. I love to see bands enjoying themselves, from Glastonbury 2017, something else I have never experienced *sigh*
Song: "Beer with Jesus"
The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "Lockdown Song". "Beer with Jesus" is a song recorded by American country music singer Thomas Rhett. ( If I could have a beer with Jesus / I'd put my whole paycheck in that jukebox / Fill it up with nothing but the good stuff / Sit somewhere we couldn't see a clock. )
HMM- the macromonday theme for today, 1/25, is music- song titles, albums, or general genre. i have 9 possibilities. "Penny Lane" and the "Putting on the Ritz" are my two favorites.
and the photos app that keeps on quitting on me ~sigh~, so editing and cleaning up are a little sketchy today..
For Macro Mondays: The Song "Time" by Pink Floyd (from Dark Side of the Moon) has always been one of my favorites. Its first line (the title of this photo) seems an appropriate lament for some of the long days of late, staying inside without a whole lot to do, just waiting for time to pass and for problems to be solved by people smarter and more important than me.
(Another line from the song, "hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way," is also highly appropriate (although I am not English), and served as inspiration to me earlier in 2020 as I took some moody abstract photos in my apartment whilst the album was playing.)
"House of the Rising Sun" a traditional folk song made popular in 1964 by The Animals
"My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans"
For Macro Mondays Jan 25 theme: Lockdown Song
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.
Macro Mondays theme: Lockdown Song
“You’re my Best Friend” by Queen
Thank you for views, faves and comments HMM 😊
Our daughter has been dancing in our local production of The Nutcracker for the past three years, but 2020 was a different experience all together. It was mostly virtual, and that meant many more rehearsals on Zoom in our house. And many, MANY more playings of “Mother Ginger” from the second half of The Nutcracker.
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!
My 2020 "lockdown song"
This song by the Portland-based band, Kutless, was a great comfort to me during what was otherwise a challenging 2020.
Turn up the volume when you listen:

Happy Macro Mondays, my fellow Flickrites!!
