Music Monday: Life in (Semi) Lockdown

I'm going to make a slight departure from my normal Music Monday post to tell you about a song that you just need to hear. If you aren't familiar with British artists, this may go over your head without the video to watch (it does for me when I just listen to it) because like the ever famous We are the World and Band-Aid compilations, there are almost more artists here than you can follow. But this should be the official lockdown/pandemic theme song, and it is just good stuff. Like those hugs that we all still look forward to getting. Enjoy.

Times Like These 

(BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge All-Stars/Foo Fighters)

One, two, three, four

I, I'm a one way motorway

I'm the one that drives away

Then follows you back home

And I, I'm a street light shining

I'm a wild light blinding bright

Burning off alone

It's times like these you learn to live again

It's times like these we give and give again

It's times like these you learn to love again

It's times like these, time and time again

I, I'm a new day rising

I'm a brand new sky

To hang the stars upon tonight

I, I'm a little divided

Do I stay or run away

And leave it all behind?

It's times like these you learn to live again

It's times like these you give and give again

It's times like these you learn to love again

It's times like these, time and time again

Let's go

It's times like these that we activate

Do something to improve, don't procrastinate

I've been cooking now make a wicked pasta bake

Stream games at 11 but I clap at 8

And I'll do a facetime if you tempt me

Time to pay back with all the health docs lent me

And for me west ten's elementary

But right now I wanna see ladbroke grove empty

You get me?

We make it better together we'll make a better life

Because the pressure is ever upon us every night

And everyday so we pray and we will forever fight

We'll make it better together, we'll make a better life

I, I'm a one way motorway

I'm the one that drives away

Then follows you back home

I, I'm a street light shining

I'm a wild light blinding bright

Burning off alone

It's times like these you learn to live again

It's times like these you give and give again

It's times like these you learn to love again

It's times like these, time and time again

It's times like these you learn to live again

It's times like these you learn to love again
