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 :-)

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.

DarkWave is a spin off of RetroWave/SynthWave which is a type of trance synth music based off of music from the 1980s.

This type of musics origins come from VapureWave. The tape player is a Technics RS-1W

The tape in the player is from the group "Dance With The Dead": dancewiththedead.bandcamp.com/

There is unrest in the Forest

There is trouble with the trees

For the Maples want more sunlight

And the Oaks ignore their pleas.

From The Album Storm Front by Billy Joel

Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray

South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio

Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television

North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe

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.

So many temptations while under lock down at home. Especially tough over the holidays. But hey dark chocolate is healthy for you. It stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that create feelings of pleasure. It also contains serotonin, an antidepressant that can elevate mood.

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

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.

These are pins from one of those pin art toys that mould to the shape of the object pressed onto them.

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.

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.

"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.

I love my 45s, LPs and CDs. I went right to the source. Even though we had our wedding ceremony in our home, I had to play this song. :)

This is the opening bar of Emily, a jazz standard. It is one of my favorites. It can be played equally well in both ¾ or waltz time and in 4/4 or common time.

An epic song from the late, great David Bowie on the album The man who sold the world, recorded in 1970.

My lockdown song was 'Fuzzy' by Grant Lee Buffalo

Uploaded for the Macro Mondays group - Theme = Lockdown Song.

This is a tiny section of a jacket that I have been known to wear at Glam Rock music events. I have also enjoyed exercise / dancing to a variety of 60s/70s music during lockdowns including Glam Rock. A particular song that comes to mind is Sweet - Ballroom Blitz.

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.

For the Monday, January 25, 2021 theme: lockdown song.

This is me during the pandemic, and especially from January 7 through the 20th: waiting for the other shoe to drop, with my hands in my lap waiting to possibly cover my ears/eyes.

The monkey is from Mom's salt & pepper shaker collection; it's approx. 3" from the top of its anxious-looking head to the bottom of its hands (tips of fingers not shown)....we don't seem to have a set of the hear-no-evil/see-no-evil/speak-no-evil monkeys in the house.

Inspired by Evillene's song, which really was running through my head for a while there¹: Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News from the musical The Wiz.

¹ In addition to the craziness of the world in general, at the time we also were awaiting the results of my brother's COVID test (negative, after a second try) and crossing our fingers for successful mailing of Dad's guitar to him (subsequently arrived intact).

Neil Diamond songs. We're all playing board games these days. Here is represented Sweet Caroline (Hands Washing Hands), For Ever in Blue Jeans, I Am -I Cried, and You Don't Bring Me Flowers.

Macro Mondays - Lockdown Song - 25 Jan 2021.

A line from the song "I'm Going Slightly Mad" by Queen, the greatest rock band ever!

This song sums up the situation the World is in right now, there are days I find it difficult to believe what has happened, fearing for people's safety and sanity.

Queen has produced some wonderfully powerful and uplifting music such as "We Are The Champions", "We Will Rock You", "The Show Must Go On", "Friends Will Be Friends" ... the list goes on, music to stay positive with!

La longue période d'auto-confinement à la maison a été une belle occasion de ressortir les vieilles chansons tahitiennes et de les apprécier sur la terrasse à rêvasser devant mon jardin fleuri ou se remémorer nos histoires de jeunesse. Je vais me concocter un CD rien que pour ça avec en couverture une photo de mes fleurs du jardin. #Macro #MacroMondays #LockdownSong

In these difficult times it's always good to smile!

La longue période d'auto confinement ou de réel confinement avec ou sans couvre-feu a été l'occasion de ressortir toutes les vieilles chansons tahitiennes pour les écouter dans le calme. Je vais même en sélectionner quelques unes parmi celles ayant pour thème l'Amour pour me créer un CD à faire tourner en boucle et dont la couverture sera une photo macro présentant quelques fleurs du jardin posées délicatement sur mon ukulele. #Macro #MacroMondays #LockdownSong
