Songs in the key of Isolation

Songs written in and about the pandemic

Whilst most of us have mooched about indoors during lockdown, the music community has been busier than usual. Deprived of the opportunity to tour, many musicians have taken to home studios and the internet to create, collaborate and record their response to Covid.

This has produced some brilliant work as you will hear. The artists whose music I am sharing today include Michael Stipe of REM, Kings of Leon, Alicia Keys, Bono, Matt Bellamy of Muse, Morrissey, Billie Eilish, Foals and Future Islands. This afternoon I’m proud to present some of the best music out there at present. Our music community is still writing and performing. Are you listening?

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
