about

A song written and recorded in lockdown to highlight some of the challenges of living in lockdown in a fun, up-tempo and catchy way and asking whether life can ever be the same.

Accompanying home-made video can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq0mGBFT_tM
This was filmed in my back garden during lockdown with additional video footage provided by friends and family.

lyrics

Are you living in a haze?
Losing track of months and days?
Have you lost all your headspace?
Is everyone in your face?

Lockdown
Has shut down
My brain
And I know I'm slowly
Becoming more insane
Don't you feel like lockdown
Has shut down
Your brain?
What if life can never be
The same?

Clean air, endless sun
Shouldn't we be having fun?
Why aren't we all having fun?
'Stead of meeting up on Zoom
Just eyeing up each other's rooms

Lockdown
Has shut down
My brain
And I know I'm slowly
Becoming more insane
Don't you feel like lockdown
Has shut down
Your brain?
What if life can never be
The same?

PPE
Empty streets
Claps and masks
Wash your hands
Lockdown

Empty streets
Claps and masks
Wash your hands
Lockdown

PPE
Empty streets
Claps and masks
Wash your hands
Lockdown
Lockdown

Lockdown
Has shut down
My brain
And I know I'm slowly
Becoming more insane
Don't you feel like lockdown
Has shut down
Your brain?
What if life can never be
The same?

Red As Ruby recommends:

Behind Closed Doors LP
by Kira Neris

LOVE the jazz references and style. Makes me feel destressed, tipsy and somehow glamorously chic even though I'm only listening. I'll never tire of listening to this music. Red As Ruby

A Frozen Second LP
by Kira Neris

I couldn't believe it when I then heard this LP too. Absolutely love the chilled feel of the music and the way the sounds have been put together. Artist envy for the vibe that Kira Neris creates! Red As Ruby
