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..."

from the 40s/50s/60s.

Für "Macro Mondays"
Thema "Lockdown Song" am 25.01.2021.
Have a "Happy Macro Monday"
and a good start into the new week.
Stay safe/Bleibt gesund!
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 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*
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.)
. . . 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!
"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.
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.

“You’re my Best Friend” by Queen
Thank you for views, faves and comments HMM 😊
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
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"
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? - Chicago
Macro Mondays - January 25, 2020
Theme: Lockdown Song
My other hobby is trains. I curated myself a list of my top 15 train songs on Spotify. It ranges from jazz, to rock, to folk.
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.
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.
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. )

"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"

The Paul Simon Anthology (disk 1) - Kodachrome
Transparency taken in 1972
If you are interested how this was done:
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.
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!!
Taken for Macro Mondays group, theme 'Lockdown Song'. Stylistics' soul music.
Week 4/2021.
Lit with an LED torch. Cropped square but otherwise straight out of the camera.
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
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"
Glass bottle, 90mm macro, Raynox 250 and 30mm extension tube.
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.
"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)

(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?.

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.
🎼. 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.
