Do you know that Melbourne has spent the longest time in lockdown of all the cities in the world? I have written a song called Streets of Melbourne and play my C harmonica in in it. You can hear / watch my performance here:
All comments / criticism will be welcome.
Hallo @EBtunes,
ich bin Astrid aus Deutschland und grĂŒĂe dich.
ZunĂ€chst verursacht mir dein Song GĂ€nsehaut. Bereits beim ersten Hören konnte ich deine Botschaft dahinter fĂŒhlen, obwohl ich nicht alles vom Text verstanden hatte. Jetzt war ich direkt auf Youtube und du hast den Text darunter geschrieben. So konnte ich ihn mir komplett ĂŒbersetzen lassen. Danke dafĂŒr!
Du wirst es vielleicht nicht glauben, aber ich habe euren zĂ€hen Lockdown so weit wie hier möglich, verfolgt. Da es hier zum Teil auch sehr, sehr schwierig und keine Kontakte möglich waren, muss es fĂŒr euch XXXmal schlimmer gewesen sein. Die Zukunfts- und ExistenzĂ€ngste, die Frage âWas ist morgen?â. Die zunehmende Traurigkeit bis hin zu Depressionen, die Sorge um Familie und Freunde, trotz Lockdown Verbote ĂŒberschreiten zu mĂŒssenâŠ
Das Alles höre ich aus deinem Song heraus, sowohl dem Text als auch deiner Begleitung von Gitarre und Harp. Ich höre auch deine GefĂŒhle durch deine zitternde Stimme.
Ich bin wirklich sehr beeindruckt und sage dir nochmals herzlichen Dank, da dein Song auch meine GefĂŒhle der letzten 1 1/2 Jahre stark widerspiegelt.
Mache bitte weiter und gib auf dich acht! Herzliche GrĂŒĂe nach Melbourne von Astrid
Ich hoffe, dass mein Text gut ĂŒbersetzt werden kann und du mich verstehst.
Thank you Astrid, I am happy that you like my song about lockdown in Melbourne.
I live in NSW not in Victoria, where Melbourne is. However the situation is similar in Sydney and NSW. I am surviving the lockdown OK. I have plenty of time to practice harmonica and guitar:)
WOW @EBTunes! This fricken rocks my friend! Very god on so many levels.
I love how the guitar picking is so fluid and beautiful but then your singing is so punk rock. It reminds me of the Pogues or something like that.
Great job fingerpicking and playing harmonica at the same time. Really cool how the harmonica instrumentals had some interesting harmonic developments that were different from what you played while singing. Love that! And the harmonica fit very nicely over the chords.
Just really well done, and I felt the emotion of what I think you intended to play. WELL DONE!!
Rock on,
Luke
Thanks Luke for you encouraging comments:)
Sounds great kind of like bob dylan or an old folk song from where I come from such a simple beat combined with your singing was very relaxing. Keep up the good work Boomer
Thanks for the comment, I keep on playing harmonica and guitar. I am not sure where it is taking me but I am having fun.
Thatâs what playing music is all about chilling and having fun happy holidays my harping fam.
Very nice! Definitely reminiscent of The Pogues, it has a great feel to it.
Thank you Dave:)
Walking in Melbourne is a fantastic song. I love the lyrics, the guitar picking and the harmonica. Thanks for sharing that. Iâm guessing lock down is over and hopefully you have gotten a chance to play Melbourne live.
Hi Ublocker
I wrote that song during one weekend or so and within that short time span I recorded and uploaded it as I was quite happy with the recording.
However I have not played the song ever since.
As for playing live; I do not perform much so I have never played it live.
I should have a short performance next month in Wollongong (where I live), but I was not planning to play Streets of Melbourne on that occasion.
I wish somebody else, maybe from Melbourne would perform that song:)
Thanks for taking interest in the Streets of Melbourne.
Cheers

Could somebody post their comments directly on Youtube where the song has been posted, for the whole world to see, Cheers:)
K. I just made a comment on the vid itself, which was nice cuz it gave me a chance to hear it again. Bro you should DEFINITELY PLAY THIS SONG IN WOLLONGONG!!! People will LOVE IT! DO IT!!!
Another cool tune, this time played on a Tremolo Harmonica (correct @EBTunes?)
The guitar intro is really nice too, but since this is a harmonica forum, thought Iâd start it where the spotlight is on harmonica. 
Yes, it is played on an old Chinese Tremolo Harmonica in G, which has âjubileeâ written on it.
