I wrote this song today inspired by our Prime Minister's latest 'catchy' slogan. Some lines came to mind and expanded into a song. I initially thought it could be a rap, but that is not a genre I am comfortable with and so it turned into more of a Neil Young protest song. I am playing my Benford Telecaster for #TeleTuesday.

Here are the lyrics:

Stay alert, stay alert

There's a bug going round that's put us on edge
Can't talk to your neighbours except over the hedge
Can only speak to the family in a video room
But use the phone for your granny, cos she doesn't Zoom

Stay alert, stay alert

Keep your distance to stop the spread
2m or so to help free up the beds
That's about 4 cubits for classical types
Wash your hands with some soap or some sanitary wipes

Stay alert, stay alert

Boris has had it, but he's still the boss
The rest of his lot are a total loss
They ran down the NHS for ten years
Now we all pay the cost in heartbreak and tears

Stay alert, stay alert

The idiot in the Whitehouse thinks it's all so unfair
It should be about elections and his fellow billionaires
This nasty Chinese virus could mess up his plan
To be the first two term presidential orange man

Stay alert, stay alert

But something gives me hope, it's community spirit
Looking out for each other as we try to get through it
Maybe we don't have to go back to what we had
If we care about the future then it won't be as bad

Stay alert, stay alert, give a damn about the world

I didn't watch him either as he annoys me. Matt Lucas does a good impression. Just need to vent that frustration somehow.

Very nice!  You did very well with that one.  As much as I enjoy your covers, I think I like these original pieces more.

Glad someone likes them. I am trying to be original, but it's a matter of when inspiration strikes.

Excellent composition dear friend @steevc you say great truths, as always politicians use these situations for their campaigns, no matter what really happens to the people.

It is sad that we have to communicate with our loved ones via the web, but we do it to stay safe and for the love we feel

Undoubtedly the hopes are in the people who take the situation seriously, the mistake of few can be fatal for many.

I appreciate these letters that make people reflect
I wish you a great day

Going to have to myself a little mic stand/holder actually. I just prop mine up on my studio monitors but should probably get that sorted lol!

@stav gave me this mic arm. It's great as it takes up no room and I just pull it out when I need it. Having to set too much stuff up just kills the vibe. Actually my interface and bass  came from him too. He buys a lot more kit than me.

Nice! I have just built up the kit and added to it over the years and you find out what stuff you need to supplement your music the more you use it! I try to keep things minimal but then the "you never know" voice kicks in haha
