My wife is working the NYE shift in a Covid ward. I sent her this song -- it's lifted the whole medical crew! They've been dancing to it, as they found time between patients. Thank you for this magic ....... the medical team danced their way into 2021!!!
I love Erlend's music. I was listening to a colection of his songs and heard Lockdown Blues for the first time. Great song. He is one of the most talented musicians on the planet.
LYRICS 👇 Lockdown blues Don't need no shoes Dress whatever way you please No cafè, no ballet On the menu lockdown blues (Ah-uuuh x2) April May (April May) That was ok (that was ok) We were singing lockdown blues June July (June July) We flew up high (we flew up high) So now we're back in lockdown blues (Ah-uuuh x2) There was a plan (we had a plan) To take a plane (to take a plane) Until we heard it in the news The virus grows, borders close Looks like we're trapped in lockdown blues Please come soon, before the moon rises over Syracuse I wouldn't mind to stay inside If I could stay inside with you (Ah-uuuh x4) Lockdown town Lockdown time Lockdown streets Lockdown needs Lockdown nights Lockdown fights Lockdown blues Lockdown rules
thank you so much for taking the time to write down the lyrics!! buuuut I think it’s “until we heard the evening news.” instead of “until we heard it in the news” :)
I love this song, can't stop singing it. It's a third lockdown in Ireland and again I'm being stuck at home.Mind yourself people and stay positive because one day it will end.
While I'm listening to this blues,I see the picture of me(just a fan ),Marcin and Erlend .And I find that we were young,younger than we thought before. But time passed and our world had changed in so many ways...Feels like the drum's song"Book of Stories"." I thought my life would get easier,instead it's getting colder without you." But today this blues helps me to rethink this way.Something still remains the same.That something… is the power of Music.it is love.and it is prayer. I thank you for the song. All the gratitude and prayer goes to you ,La comitiva.I mean, all the people living this time.We all one big family.
Hi Erlendt !! I love this song, the entire video, the instruments, the voices, including the girls, my 3 nieces and Clarita... I watch it every day and really enjoy it. Thaks to you and to La Comitiva, for communicating joy in the midst of this strange times... Let me know through the girls if u come to play in Madrid.
Che bravo Erlend con i suoi amici della Comitiva!! Vorrei faceste un tour qui in Liguria da levante a ponente.. ma rimane un desiderio inespresso al momento..
There is probably too much space between the heart and the brain Or no time available enough For words to be caught and spelled as the lyrics keep on echoing inside No proper words To modestly describe the wave that overwhealms inside Up to soak lashes And light up the mood At the view of this split screen, feeling finally mankinded Fragments of a multifaced humanity Yet one and united in a way to endure, bearing the same burden Erlend Øye and La Comitiva, thank you This song will never be overheard As it gently caress and comfort the soul
Questa canzone mi mette una sensazione di pace e di gioia. La sento nella testa anche la notte quando dormo!! Grazie ragazzi per la vostra meravigliosa musica!! E Grazie a Erlend per aver scelto di vivere in Italia :) !!
I know what I’m about to say might come across as selfish, especially since I fully understand the pandemic was a nightmare for so many. I know a lot of people lost their jobs, or even loved ones, and I want to apologize if I sound insensitive to them. But for me, lockdown was a really happy time. I stayed with my mom, who was battling cancer. Because of work, I hadn’t seen her in a long time, but from March 2020 to April 2021, I was at her house-eating her amazing cooking, talking for hours, helping her around the house. She passed away on May 3rd, 2021, and since then, it feels like my life has been in free fall. I gained weight, started drinking too much, lost my job, and ended up in so much debt that I’m still buried in it. Without the pandemic, her fate would’ve been the same, but I would’ve been left with the guilt of not having been there with her during that time. It wasn’t until 2024 that I heard this song, and I loved it because it brought me back to that period... Anyway, sorry for unloading my story on you.
This is so light! Magical, it makes me remember only good moments of lockdown ❤️ i even laughed out loud! I love you 💞 thanks pandemic for giving us this song!

I'm so honored to have erlend in italy
I love Erlend's music. I was listening to a colection of his songs and heard Lockdown Blues for the first time. Great song. He is one of the most talented musicians on the planet.
The guitars coming together at the beginning… pure perfection.
Erlend you are a world heritage artist, pure expression of freedom and art. You are an inspiration. Keep it up 👍
LYRICS 👇
Lockdown blues
Don't need no shoes
Dress whatever way you please
No cafè, no ballet
On the menu lockdown blues
(Ah-uuuh x2)
April May (April May)
That was ok (that was ok)
We were singing lockdown blues
June July (June July)
We flew up high (we flew up high)
So now we're back in lockdown blues
(Ah-uuuh x2)
There was a plan (we had a plan)
To take a plane (to take a plane)
Until we heard it in the news
The virus grows,
borders close
Looks like we're trapped in lockdown blues
Please come soon,
before the moon
rises over Syracuse
I wouldn't mind
to stay inside
If I could stay inside with you
(Ah-uuuh x4)
Lockdown town
Lockdown time
Lockdown streets
Lockdown needs
Lockdown nights
Lockdown fights
Lockdown blues
Lockdown rules
thank you so much for taking the time to write down the lyrics!! buuuut I think it’s “until we heard the evening news.” instead of “until we heard it in the news” :)
Loneliness, but with Loveliness ❤
I love this song, can't stop singing it. It's a third lockdown in Ireland and again I'm being stuck at home.Mind yourself people and stay positive because one day it will end.
"I wouldn't mind to stay inside If I could stay inside with you" ✨. Gracias desde México.
Hello from Taiwan. My two sons(5&3years old) love this song so much.
Bellissima. In questa giornata piovigginosa è un caffé seduta al tavolino, fuori per strada, fumando una sigaretta ❣️
Is there such thing as comfort music? If there is, then this must be it ❤️
Another masterpiece.
Magic.Also all Erland projects.
The best musician that has emerged in recent times...
He's been around for a long time with Kings of Convenience, about 20 years 🙂
Erlend is probably the the most talented lyric writer I knew these days. Thank u
Need this song in all platforms :D
I love this sound... as I sit here barefoot. One of those glorious song you put on replay... Stay safe.
This song literally keeps me out from depression thank you!

What the world needs now is music, sweet music!!
La plus belle des chansons confinée

Great job TH-cam recommendation! Now I find another gem to jam to.
Can't say how much I love that song. The melodie, the girl-volcals, the vocals in the end.. Well done guys.
Che bravo Erlend con i suoi amici della Comitiva!! Vorrei faceste un tour qui in Liguria da levante a ponente.. ma rimane un desiderio inespresso al momento..
Bravi! Thank you Spotify!
Obrigada pela delicadeza dessa obra. Beijos do Brasil! 💘
One of the greatest performer that ever lived. Keep playing !
There is probably too much space between the heart and the brain
Or no time available enough
For words to be caught and spelled as the lyrics keep on echoing inside
No proper words
To modestly describe the wave that overwhealms inside
Up to soak lashes
And light up the mood
At the view of this split screen, feeling finally mankinded
Fragments of a multifaced humanity
Yet one and united in a way to endure, bearing the same burden
Erlend Øye and La Comitiva, thank you
This song will never be overheard
As it gently caress and comfort the soul
from ROK, I've become to falling in love with this song today. Thank you for portraying our common daily lives in this pandemic era.
