During the Covid 19 lockdown the community choir Amber Valley Voices have worked with their MD Angie Cope and accompanist and composer Chris Lawry to write a lock down inspired song to rehearse in their Zoom rehearsals to hopefully use in their forthcoming concerts once restrictions are eased and we can begin to meet and sing together again.

Much love to all out there that can't sing together yet; we are feeling your pain with you!

Sheet music (for Unison, SA and SATB choir) available from www.chrislawry.com. If you need a backing track or leadsheet, or anything, please get in touch using: contact@chrislawry.com  

Lyrics: 

Waiting by the window, 
Parcels at the door, 
Kisses left hanging in the air. 
Doorstep daughters and street-side sons, 
It's the little things to show that you still care. ]

Smiles from total strangers we pass along the way, 
Neighbours that speak now ev’ry day. 
Time for conversations, time for souls to touch 
It’s the little things that now mean oh so much. 

The little things that mean so much 
The little things we miss and those we don’t, as such 
The little things: a sight, a sound, a smell, a touch. 
It’s the little things that now mean oh so much. 

A letter from a loved one, flowers from a friend 
The look that says I know, I understand 
Early morning birdsong, a woodlands dappled light, 
It’s the outward signs of natures healing hand.

To wander through a meadow, to drink in cleaner air 
New life bursts out around us ‘midst our pain. 
So much has been lost at immeasurable cost 
But together we’ll rebuild our world again. 

The little things that mean so much 
The little things we miss and those we don’t, as such 
The little things: a sight, a sound, a smell, a touch.
It’s the little things that now mean oh so much. 

The little things that mean so much 
The little things we miss and those we don’t, as such 
The little things: a sight, a sound, a smell, a touch.
It’s the little things that now mean oh so much.

By The Beatles. By John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by Flavio Regis Cunha. Contemporary. Octavo. 10 pages. Flavio Regis Cunha #6562161. Published by Flavio Regis Cunha (A0.597574).

This is a BlackBird arrangement for SATB choir with piano accompaniment. 

 If you're a fan of the English band, we're sure you and your choir will like it.


I had been doing poetry readings. I had been doing some in the last year or so because I've got a poetry book out called Blackbird Singing, and when I would read Blackbird, I would always try and think of some explanation to tell the people, 'cause there's not a lot you can do except just read the poem, you know, you read 10 poems that takes about 10 minutes, almost. It's like, you've got to, just, do a bit more than that. So, I was doing explanations, and I actually just remembered why I'd written Blackbird, you know, that I'd been, I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of you were only waiting for this moment to arise was about, you know, the black people's struggle in the southern states, and I was using the symbolism of a blackbird. It's not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it's a bit more symbolic. - Paul McCartney, Interview with KCRW's Chris Douridas, May 25, 2002 episode of New Ground (17:50 - 19:00)
