daryl1968 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi fine forum folk I sincerely hope that everyone is keeping safe and healthy. I wrote this song about my daughter and her boyfriend who found themselves stranded 200 miles apart when the UK government locked everything down on March 23rd . Lyrics are below the link. Lockdown Love (a true love story for our times) Written, performed and recorded by Staypress Backing vocals Elizabeth Greenway V1 You and I were inseparable The like you've not seen before The damage was irreparable So they laid down the law V2 You travelled to your parents house I didn't want you to go The government locked it down Not saying I told you so Prech You were not into waiting Now we're self isolating Ch It's a love lockdown Not sure when you'll be around It's a love lockdown Cos you're in a different town V3 If they'd pulled the plug a day before The day you left me behind We'd have been behind this door I wish that we could rewind Pch 2 My god you should have seen us Before they made a distance between us Ch X2 Middle bit I can't help but think it would be different If we'd washed our hands and kept our distance I can't help but think it would be better If we'd stayed indoors obeyed the law to the letter Now we're many miles apart Wish we'd listened from the start Living in a Lockdown Ch to end 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Peeps do not listen, classic Staypress production @daryl1968 well written amusing song with a message, nicely done the current Mrs Greenway and her slave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Yeah baby! I’m loving that breakdown into the pre-chorus. If I’m behind the glass on this we’d change the chorus; its a love lockdown not sure when you’ll be around its a love, love lockdown cos you’re in a different town staccato on that love, love lockdown change it up just a bit... ? t Edited March 31, 2020 by DeeringAmps correct spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 A great idea for a song Daryl. Might as well make something of a less than great situation and you did here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Quick turnaround on this project! Obviously you can't take the "ten years" workflow approach . . . Lyrics are smart and great. The chorus, the third line where you take it down and it do the C to G thing, that's a clever bit of chording right there. It makes the song memorable! I heard a bit of sibilance in the prechoruses, particularly the first one. Other than that the mix is a clean and clear as a clean and clear bell. Really great. I hope they get together soon! Have they heard this yet? What do they think? cheers, -Tom 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Fabulous! Witty! Catchy! You just keep getting better. I hope this eases your daughter's pain. This is a song that I'll be sharing with a few of my friends. Stay well, mate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 That's a cool song Daryl - like Lynn says it's catchy - "Love Lockdown" is a good hook. The mix sounds quite nice to my ears. Excellent job on the lyrics - I enjoyed the listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I always look forward to listening your songs and this not an exception. You took a bad situation and converted it into a great lyrics that tell a clever story. The music perfectly complements the story. I love that change that comes in around 2:12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
