A lockdown song: The Joker

 

Something different from poems. Here’s one of the songs that my uncle, Billy Johnstone, and I have written during lockdown.

This one is called The Joker, inspired by the recent film starring Joaquim Phoenix.

He’s behind the melody and sings. Enjoy!

A lockdown song: Under a Severed Moon

Something different from poems. Here’s one of the songs that my uncle, Billy Johnstone, and I have written during lockdown. One of our first songs as I sent him the lyrics on April 24.

It’s a dark one called Under a Severed Moon.

He’s behind the melody and sings. Enjoy! 

 

He drinks from an empty glass

And the number on his face is seven. 

He walks a zig-zag path

And he might take you to heaven...

A lockdown song: Bird in the brain

Something different from poems. Here’s one of the songs that my uncle, Billy Johnstone, and I have written during lockdown.

It’s called Bird in the Brain. He’s behind the melody and sings, while I wrote the lyrics. Enjoy! 

Bird in the brain
Is the one you can't train.
Black-feathered and slick,
Never missing a trick...

A lockdown song: The Dark Wood

Something different from poems. Here’s one of the songs that my uncle, Billy Johnstone, and I have written during lockdown. It is one of my favourites.

It’s called The Dark Wood. He’s behind the melody and sings, while I wrote the lyrics. Enjoy! 

In the deepest depths of the dark wood,

See the spectre trees stand and stare,
Stretching out their bony fingers
To trip any wanderers who dare...
