Weymouth singer Emma Gale has been inspired by the Covid-19 lockdown in penning a song about the current times.

She has used the time in isolation to write and release her debut single, Let’s See What the Earth Has to Say.

Written, composed, produced and recorded remotely in just one week, the track explores Emma’s take on life in lockdown and our rapidly changing reality.

It examines how quickly life can change and how nature is thriving now humanity has retreated indoors.

It includes the lines 'And it just goes to show, that we really don't know how much changes in one single day.

'And we don't really need what we think that we need. Let's see what the world has to say.'

Emma’s uplifting vocals can be heard on the single, alongside ukulele by her husband Peter Kirkbride and percussion, bass, acoustic guitar, keyboards, vocals by Chris Pepper.

The track was produced by Chris Pepper at Cambridgeshire-based Saltwell Studio.

Emma is a well-known local singer - she was the lead vocalist for the band The Vending Machine Repairmen and she also formed the group Galeforce.

Using the coronavirus crisis to concentrate on creativity, Emma has created a single which is reflective, soothing and hopeful.

Emma said: “It seems that many of us are struggling to adapt to life at home and it makes you realise that despite feeling like we are in complete control of our lives, we’re actually part of something much bigger.

"This is the sentiment behind, Let’s See What the Earth Has to Say – it’s about all of us surrendering control and realising we don’t actually need all of the things we once thought we did.

“I never planned to write a song in response to coronavirus, but the time in lockdown has given me the chance to focus on making music, and before I knew it, I had a debut single ready to go. I hope it strikes a chord with people listening from their own homes.”

The single is accompanied by an animated video by Nik Newark which shows the contrast between life now, and life before lockdown.

Emma plans to release her debut album later this year.

Let’s See What the Earth Has to Say will be available to download and stream on Friday, April 17.
