Commissioned by Sound UK for their A Song For Us project, we ran three songwriting workshops in different settings across Lancashire on the theme of community during the pandemic. We worked with children and young people from Stages at More Music, Garstang Primary School and Ridgewood Community High School.

LYRICS
V1
Captain Tom walking round his garden for the 100th time
No wars, no bombs. Nobody could fight 'cos they were all inside

C
We clapped for the NHS
We got things off our chest
We made friends, we did exercise
We got bored so we went online

V2
So many walks, grandad discovered Bowland for the first time
So many zooms, everybody saying to "unmute your mic"

A SONG FOR US - More Music

LYRICS:
V
I was scared just like being in the dark
Couldn't exercise or go to the park
Freedom, but only for an hour
Felt like I was helpless like I didn't have the power
Feeling trapped, always stuck inside
Made me feel shy, all I could do was hide
Didn't have to get up, so I got lazy
This whole situation has got me going crazy

C
Together we're stronger
When we're together we're united
Together we're unstoppable
When we're together - never alone

We worked with children and young people from Stages at More Music, Garstang Primary School and Ridgewood Community High School.

LYRICS
V1
Excited because I didn't have to go to school,
but lessons in pyjamas that was pretty cool
Lots of zoom meetings, feeling trapped inside
Teachers checking up on us, got nowhere to hide

C
So much time wasted, so much boredom
Now it's almost over, I'm feeling relieved.

V2
Feeling very nervous, worried about my family
Wondering if they're worried about me
Anxious we didn't get to see our friends
But we'll be back together when all of this ends.
