Two of the UK’s most famous musicians have taken a stand against coronavirus lockdown.
Rock and blues guitarist Eric Clapton on Friday released an anti-lockdown song called “Stand and Deliver”, written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison.
The 4-minute and 33-second tracks are critical of other coronavirus restrictions, such as shelter orders and face masks.
Antique Clapton notes safety in the midst of the release of an antique lockdown song that recorded a remarkable sound after the last one.
“Do you want to be a free man and / or do you want to be a slave?” Clapton sings. “Do you want to wear these chains / until you fall into the grave?”

He notes that he doesn’t want to be a fugitive or a prince but instead, he wants a job as a musician. Or as Clapton puts it: “Play blues for my friends.”
“Magna Carta, Bill of Rights / Constitution, what is its value? / You know they will grind us / Unless it really hurts.” “Is this a sovereign nation / or just a police state? / People, you / You better see before it’s too late.”

Clapton turned off his tune with “Dick Turpin also wore a mask”, a reference to the infamous English highman’s crime of wearing a mask in the 18th century.
This is not the first time that Clipton has made his stance on the global epidemic known.
The 75-year-old guitarist said in an earlier statement that “we must stand up and count because we need to find a way out of this mess,” the 75-year-old guitarist said in an earlier statement. “It’s not fair to think of alternatives. Live music will never recover.”

The song is part of Morrison’s “Save Live Music” campaign and reports from the song will go to the lyricist’s musician-centered lockdown hardship fund. Morris released three other anti-lockdown songs earlier this year, including “Born to Be Free,” “Like I Walked Out” and “No More Lockdown”.
Health officials have publicly criticized Morrison’s stance on the safety of UK residents.
In an in-ad for Rolling Stone, Northern Ireland Health Minister Robin Swann wrote, “The virus really has an odor on all those involved in the public health response who have taken lives on a large scale. Their words will bring relief to conspiracy theorists – Tin Foil.” The hat brigade that crusades against masks and vaccines and seems to be a global conspiracy to take away all these freedoms. “
