Lockdown (Spring 2020)

Lockdown by LYR, featuring Florence Pugh and Pete Wareham of Melt Yourself Down, is set to a poem by poet laureate Simon Armitage, written in response to the coronavirus restrictions in April 2020. ‘Lockdown’ moves from the outbreak of bubonic plague in Eyam, Derbyshire in the 17th century – when a bale of cloth sent from London inadvertently brought fleas carrying the plague – to the poem Meghadūta by the Sanskrit poet Kālidāsa, which follows the legend in which an exile sends words of reassurance to his wife in the Himalayas via a passing cloud.
