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
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.

BTW, it was a very small leaf with small acorns, a new tree in the yard.

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.
Taken for Macro Mondays group, theme 'Lockdown Song'. Stylistics' soul music.

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.

Happy Macro Mondays, my fellow Flickrites!!
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.
"Lockdown Song" The doggies in the house were thrilled to have their owners staying home in 2020! Lots more cuddle time with a pet!
MM Lockdown Song: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon and Garfunkel
"When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down"

Chanson d'Alain Bashung:
Helvète Underground
Fondue enchaînée sur la baie de Lausanne
Pour un pélican combien de frangipane
Cher le guili guili
Coucous de contrebande
Ça sonne comme l'Helvète Underground
Robinson Crusoé n'a plus un vendredi de libre
Au printemps je redoute qu'un des trois suisses me livre
Cher le guili guili
Coucous de contrebande
Ça sonne comme 'I' Helvète Underground
Guili guili, passé le Rio Grande
Ça sonne comme l'Helvète Underground
C'est métro Alma Marceau
Que nous nous mîmes, nous mîmes intimes
A l'instar de la violentera qu'on assassine
Pense à dire du bien de Charles Trenet
L'appât de la gaine me fait sortir le grand je t'aime
Chili Concarneau, pourquoi tant de haine
Cher le guili guili
Coucous de contrebande
Ça sonne comme l'Helvète Underground

"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

Take a photo of a white piece of paper with your phone and then display it. You might have to zoom it a bit to get a full white screen. Place the slide on top of the screen and then photograph it with your macro lens. You may need to use a tripod to get it properly squared and prevent camera shake. Crop to suite.
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

les partitas pour violon de Bach me remplissent de sérénité et d'énergie. Je ne m'en lasse jamais.
It's not really a song but a music. I can't stop listening to Partitas for violin. It gives me serenity and energy.
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.
I first heard this song being sung by a 7 ft tall thingamajig on the Masked Singer. The color are from a beam of light on a DVD. The last line in the song is, it'll all be alright.
🎼. The local classical music radio station has been on all day during lockdown, so classical music has been the lockdown song around here. Soothing and comforting music to balance out a unique time.
"Baby, I'm not living in a snow globe..."

It seems the song is "lockdown" enough ("I know we're stuck between these ageing 1980's concrete walls...") and the band name is "macro" enough :)

(How Much Is That) Doggie in the Window
Patti Page
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I read in the papers, there are robbers
With flash lights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale
Songwriters: Merrill Bob
From Wikipedia:
"Doggie" was one in a series of successful novelty songs since the 1930s, following on the success of songs such as Bing Crosby's "Pistol Packin' Mama" and Merv Griffin's "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts". Prior to the release of "Doggie", composer Bob Merrill penned "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake".[3] The original Page recording included the sounds of dogs barking, credited on the label as "Barks by Joe and Mac" (her arranger, Joe Reisman, and a violinist). The recording also features Page's signature multi-part tight harmonies, all sung by Page. Throughout the years, she recorded several other versions as well.
Legacy
According to rock historian Michael Uslan, "novelty songs" like "Doggie" led to the "fervent embrace of rock & roll" by 1955. "A lot of songs at that time were extremely bland, squeaky-clean stuff. The music field was ripe for something new, something vibrant to shake the rafters."
The song has since become a popular children's song. Bob Merrill's lyrics were reworked by Iza Trapani into her 2004 children's book, How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?.

"Be there no tears of joy when the heart feels no pain
They will send you to sleep in the arms of the waves
And the song of the seahorse brings you home again"
Livin' easy
Lovin' free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everythin' in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' that I'd rather do
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell

My effort for Macro Mondays on the theme of Lockdown Song - I've listened to loads of types of music but folk is the newest type I listen to.
Impression of an alien eye searching for humans to anihilate. This as a link this to the album of Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds. In the original story, the aliens which invaded earth were defeated by a virus. Very similar to what we are up against now. (In case you wonder what it is you see: it's the bottom of a bottle of mineral water) HMM :-)
There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.
La musica è un piacere che ascolto molto, lirica, rock, pop ecc.
In questo momento di blocco, la canzone che mi torna sempre in mente
"Nel blu dipinto di blu (Volare)"
Scritta nel 1958 da Franco Migliacci & Domenico Modugno
A warm hug to everyone
the track is The Same Old Rock, taken from the album Stormcock by Roy Harper. It was going to be the Last Polish Breakfast or Caddo Lake by Michael Chapman but my powers of imagination escaped me !
Listen to all if you can.
Macro Mondays: Lockdown Song
One of the songs on my recent mixes is Band of Gold by the Afghan Whigs (cover of a 1970s hit by R&B singer Freda Payne). The song is about a woman whose husband has left her with nothing but her wedding ring and bittersweet memories of love unfulfilled (or possibly, unrequited). The song doesn't mention the husband's ring, but I had a sudden image of it thrown in with the trash...and a photo was born.
The ring in this photo was not thrown out and has been thoroughly cleaned!
Band of Gold: written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland, and Ron Dunbar, released as a single by Freda Payne (Invictus Records) in 1970. Covered by the Afghan Whigs on their Uptown Avondale LP (Sub Pop) in 1992. In looking up the credits, I was surprised to see how many other artists have also covered this song, including Belinda Carlisle and Bonnie Tyler, who each released versions in 1986.
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.
