mellody Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 As you might have heard on the MFC live and/or read in the current MFC IG stories, Instagram user erikjcjansen suggested to write new lyrics for Dear Jealousy, and we can do this as a team! Here's what Erik suggested so far: Dear Quarantine, Why this house feels prisoning, These walls don't do good for me, it's time for me to leave. Dear Quarantine, midnight snacks is all I see, why I want you near?! Any suggestions? 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominika Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Dear Quarantine Why you make life hard to me House is place I cannot leave You're so cruel to me. Dear Quarantine You're my only company Walls in room bacame boring Please stop this agony. Oh baby it's crazy, It's crazy to live like that Crazy if you wanna go outside and Remembering to take a mask It's crazy, it's crazy for everyone Having crazy times during the lockdown It seems that it will never stop. I keep thinking about next lines. It really can't get out of my head 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdingyourdrink Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I gave it a go 🙈 Oh honey I’m snacking, I’m gaining, I’m packing those pounds Those quarantine fifteen they say Are real Got a quarantine belly to bounce I’m sitting and lying all on the same couch Snacking from dawn to dusk to dawn Crawling up these walls I wish were gone Wish I could go out, but I’m stuck inside Wearing the same clothes, ‘cause there’s no social life “Walk in the park” is a contradicting lie I’m stuck here (dear quarantine) Wearing a mask and stay away six feet This coronavirus is in the air we breathe This new normal is not normal to me I’m stuck here But one day it will get better, better We’ll go out again, we’ll just be fatter It won’t be forever we just got to keep it together as MFC Keep that head high, chin up There is one thing that this virus won’t stop A spirit and the music that guides you and guides me ‘till we live again free 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 My take on this. I've tried to make it rhyme and fit the rhythm of Dear Jealousy, I tried... 😅 Dear quarantine My room knows every part of me These 4 walls staring back at me I just want to leave I'm in quarantine A virus named covid-19 It made me sick for two weeks I'm tired than I've ever been Oh baby I'm tired, I'm tired I'm tired of this. I'm tired of all the bad news When will it ever stop? I'm hopeful, I'm hopeful I'm hoping for a better time. An army of key workers, Doctors and nurses are on the front line. No longer in quarantine I'm waiting for a vaccine It's coming soon, it won't be rushed When it's here I'll give you all a hug. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I think I should give it a try Dear quarantine this year isn't good for me strange things happened endlessly I wish it would stop Oh baby, I'm freakin, freakin', freakin' out I'm freakin' out cos of the idiots who are still in doubt I'm freakin' out because of everyone who aren't sticking to the rules and threatening everyone I'm angry about the fake news and lies I'm angry that people paid the prize I'm angry I'm angry that the virus changed our lives I'm angry that we can't see Mika live I'm angry It's coming out to get us, get us Wear a mask and don't be careless And one day we'll get over this quarantine We've got this in common, come on, stay high and stay strong Cos one day we'll get over this awful quarantine 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Maybe we should put different verses together from different people and have a sing a long!? 🤔 We could do this through zoom if anyone's up for it. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffeandy Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I guess songwriting isn't my strenght as I've never been able to write poems but I'll try my best... Quarantine, bring the freedom back to me Dear quarantine why are you still here with me all I want is to be free, please don't hold me back Dear quarantine, will all the madness ever end? Loneliness isn't a good friend I've spent too much time at home Oh baby, I'm missing, I'm missing, I'm missing my life I'm missing all of these little things I used to do And now you said stop I'm missing, I'm missing all my friends Missing the places I should have seen And the plans I had for now I'm missing the cafés, the movies, the travels Missing the concerts and the sleepless nights Missing the classes and missing the free time I'm missing (dear quarantine) Missing hanging out with no real task Missing going shopping without a mask Missing dancing and not keeping distance, I'm missing (to be continued ) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 OK, here's my version of your lyrics all strung together to fit Mika's music. These lyrics are slightly different than those I posted earlier on Instagram because, of course, I left someone out -- so sorry! It seems no matter how much checking and double-checking I do, I always omit someone! I assure you it's not intentional. Anyhow... DEAR QUARANTINE (Music: MIKA; Lyrics: Erikjcjansen, holdingyourdrink, Dominika, Tinylove_CJ, Starlight, giraffeandy, emanq4sem, Yuko-lyrubi, mikafansuzanne, dcdeb; Inspired by Erikjcjansen) Quarantine, bring the freedom back to me Dear Quarantine, This house is so prisoning, These four walls no good for me, It's time for me to leave. Dear Quarantine You're my only company, This room has become boring, Please stop this agony! Oh Covid I'm praying, I'm praying, I'm praying for us I'm wondering just when are you gonna leave, hurry we are in a rush It's crazy, it's crazy, to live like this Take a mask if you go outside, don't give your mama a kiss Wish I could go out, but I’m stuck inside Wearing the same clothes,'cause there’s no social life “Walk in the park” is a contradicting lie I’m stuck here (Dear Quarantine) Wear a mask and stay away at least six feet Coronavirus it's in the air we breathe This new normal is just not normal to me I’m stuck here Corona's gonna get us, get us Wear a mask and don't be so careless Wash your hands and isolate so one day we'll get over this quarantine We all have this in common, come on, Remember to stay high and to stay strong Every single person, even you, even me Will be virus-free Dear Quarantine Why'd you make life hard for me? Midnight snacks are all I see, I don't want you near! Oh baby I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of this. I'm tired of all the fake news and the sadness When will it ever stop? Baby, I'm freakin, I'm freakin', I'm freakin' out I'm freakin' out because of the stupid idiots who are all still in doubt Missing all the cafés, all the movies and nights out Missing all the concerts and the good times when we'd shout Missing all the classes and I don't mean to pout I'm missing (Dear Quarantine) Missing hanging out with no real task Missing going shopping without a damn mask Missing all the dancing and not keeping distance I'm missing But one day will be better, better We’ll go out again, we’ll just be fatter It won’t be forever we just got to keep together as MFC Keep that head high, keep that chin up, chin up There's one thing this virus can not stop A spirit and the music that guides you and guides me 'til we live free Quarantine, bring the freedom back to me A virus named Covid-19 made me sick two whole weeks Quarantine, I'm waiting for a new vaccine It's coming soon, it won't be rushed Then no more quarantine! Quarantine, please don't hold me back I am sick of filling every minute with a fatty snack (Dear Quarantine) Quarantine, it took a while for me to see That the quarantine fifteen is real, it caught up with me!

carafon Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Whaou , this is so good and you did so well singing Deb ! Congrats to all of you Working all day long surrouded by this bad version of Corona I just had some random ideas but no time to make them properly fit to the song's rythm. But as you made a great effort singing for us yesterday , I'll share them just for fun (sorry for the bad English) Dear quarantine , Your rules are made to protect us, As long we're living with this damn virus , it's worth you cope with us. So now I'm just cooking,cooking, again and again , Sometimes I'm just siping , ( Corona bier of course ......) Talking with my cats who love me when I'm staying, Dear quarantine But one day we'll be dancing , Singing ,loosing all the weight we had put in . This day I will totaly forgive you dear quarantine Edited November 19, 2020 by carafon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for making these into one song Deb-san! I think everyone did a great job! Some parts are really funny. And thank you for putting my name down as well! Even though I just ended up dropping an idea. It was kind of my desire, wasn't it. I like singing but this song "Dear Jealousy" is tongue twister for me and this Quarantine song is even more...!!!

TinyLove_CJ Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I've only just realised that I missed the IG live because I thought it would be tonight! 😭 Seriously can someone give me a poke when they happen?, I think that's the 4th I've missed! Anyway I love how the lyrics have been put together (thanks for including mine too!) and will take an hour out tonight to catch up on IGTV! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
