about
A laid back, bluesy song written and recorded in our studio at home during 'lockdown' 2020. The addition of some wonderful guest singers makes it extra special as they recorded themselves remotely and sent us the footage.
We also made a video to go with the track which can be viewed on our website.
lyrics
Chorus
We've got the lockdown, the lockdown blues,
We've started doing things we just wouldn't do,
Not really sure if we'll make it though,
Through this lockdown.
We've got the lockdown, the lockdown blues,
We've started doing things we just wouldn't do,
Not really sure if we'll make it though,
We've got the lockdown,
We've got the lockdown blues.
V1
We've skyped our friends and our family,
Started teaching music lessons remotely,
We did a concert from the balcony,
As we entered isolation week three.
V2.
We've started playing lots of snooker and pool,
Downloaded an app, yeah, it's really quite cool!
We laid some laminate on the kitchen floor,
As we entered isolation week four!
Chorus
Instrumental
Bridge
We're gonna try real hard,
We're gonna see this through,
Yes we'll play back in the venues like we always used to,
We're gonna stay in tune,
We're gonna keep afloat,
Be sure not to rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the boat.
Chorus
V3
We've joined the queues for our shopping,
Learned to improvise with things we never knew that we had!
Let's try another new topping tonight,
As we enter isolation week five!
V4
The hair has grown so long that why we've got hats!
But at least we've got each other and we're grateful for that,
And now we'd like to introduce some more of our friends...
Chorus
Bridge
We've gotta try real hard,
We've gotta see this through,
Yes we'll play back in the venues like we always used to,
We've gotta stay in tune,
We've gotta keep afloat,
Be sure not to rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the boat.
