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.
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
"Baby, I'm not living in a snow globe..."
MM: Lockdown Song
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 :)
Here is the band's channel on YouTube Music: music.youtube.com/channel/UC0AnVkk5poHRjIk5gy2Zb1Q (the link can be opened in browser on PC)

🎼. 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.
(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?.

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.

Really love this song. >>> And it don't matter to me
Wherever we are is where I wanna be
And honey, for once in our life
Let's take our chances and roll the dice
I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover

Working from home has resulted in listening to favourite music continually, some if which is listened to on repeat.
Three of a Perfect Pair, arranged as a jazz fusion trio has been one of the most played pieces at my home office.
I have been listening to mostly 70s electronic music (Kraftwerk, Neu! etc.) and it kind of sounds organic and industrial and abstract, which is what I have tried to capture here.

MacroMondays: Lockdown Song
My goto for music is classical and lately often sacred music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods hence I photographed the crucifix at the end of a set of rosary beads.
Lit by window light while hanging in front of a black box.
Macro Mondays - Task: give us your lockdown song, album or genre of music by interpreting this through your photography.
I have chosen Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Snow (Hey Oh)"
Happy Macro Mondays folks!

Lyrics:
Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone
Come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh
I got your hey oh
Now listen what I say, oh
When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on?
When it's killing me
When will I really see
All that I need to look inside
Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me
What do I really need
All that I need to look inside
Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh
Come back and hey oh
Look here what I say oh
The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up
I'm gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh
I got your hey oh
Listen what I say, oh
The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
I said hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
I said hey oh yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
"Shame on us, doomed from the start.
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts.
Shame on us, for all we've done, and all we ever were.
Just zeros and ones." - Zero Sum, Nine Inch Nails
Another Macro Monday prompt. In this case, a "lockdown song". Pick any Nine Inch Nails album, and it can seem a little grim. Social isolation and dehumanization are common, running themes. But as far as tying an album to a year, 2020 might as well be Year Zero. Pick a song, play it, and you'll find connections. I'm not going to tell you what those connections should be, you can find them for yourself if interested.
BABY LULLABIES. MACRO MONDAYS THEME.
Attualmente, con il termine musica classica ci si riferisce quasi sempre alla musica composta in un determinato periodo, collocabile tra il 1700 e il 1800, quando i più grandi compositori si mossero alla ricerca della perfezione formale delle loro composizioni, dando effettivamente vita a opere meravigliose.
La musica colta incominciò però ad essere relegata in un mondo ideale e lontano dalla realtà, venendo percepita, con il tempo, non dilettevole arte ma rito da celebrarsi con totale impegno e seriosità.
In realtà, la musica classica intimidisce solo chi non la conosce, sa essere godibile, allegra e divertente come poche altre cose.
A volte non ne siamo consapevoli, ma è molto più presente nelle nostre vite di quanto non sospettiamo: suonerie dei cellulari, segreterie telefoniche, pubblicità, colonne sonore di film e cartoni animati utilizzano di sovente il meglio della musica classica più famosa.
Se ci si abitua fin da piccoli, da bambini, a convivere con le più famose opere per piano, per orchestra od arie liriche di Mozart,Rossini,Hendel od addirittura Prokofiev con il suo celebre "Pierino ed il Lupo" l'ascolto della musica classica diventerebbe molto più spontanea e naturale di come se la vive oggi.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the term classical music almost always refers to music composed in a certain period, which can be placed between 1700 and 1800, when the greatest composers moved in search of the formal perfection of their compositions, effectively giving life to wonderful works. .
But cultured music began to be relegated to an ideal world far from reality, becoming perceived, over time, not a delightful art but a ritual to be celebrated with total commitment and seriousness.
In reality, classical music only intimidates those who do not know it, it can be enjoyable, cheerful and fun like few other things.
Sometimes we are not aware of it, but it is much more present in our lives than we suspect: cellphone ringtones, answering machines, advertisements, movie soundtracks and cartoons often use the best of the most famous classical music.
If you get used from an early age, as children, to live with the most famous works for piano, orchestra or lyric arias by Mozart, Rossini, Hendel or even Prokofiev with his famous "Pierino ed il Lupo" listening to music classical would become much more spontaneous and natural than how it lives today.
