Corina Barker's #LifeinLockdown
For some of us, #LifeInLockdown doesn’t mean hanging out at home. She's one of my oldest friends and is currently in Government quarantine after moving back from Sydney.
Here she chats with me from her hotel room about cabin fever, re-learning the Kiwi accent and what she is most looking forward to now she is very nearly home.
What songs are on high rotate at the moment?
'Perfect' Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli
'Always A Woman’ Billy Joel
'Girls Like You’ Maroon5
'Dakota’ Stereophonics
'Valerie' - Amy Winehouse
If you could live in any decade when would it be, why and what are your top 5 songs from it?
This is hard, I'm thinking probably the 80's? Artist's I had been brought up with that my parents were listening to, but probably liked more in the 80’s
'Ashes to Ashes' - David Bowie
'Starfish and Coffee’ Prince
'Under Pressure’ Queen
'Sweet Dreams',' Here Comes the Rain Again', 'There Must be An Angel', 'Would I Lie to You' The Eurythmics ... Love them all!!!
Favourite song of all time?
'One Day Like This!' Elbow (Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire came close)
What's your go to Karaoke song?
LOL, Karaoke is not my forte. So remembering the first time I ever got dragged up for Karaoke in Manchester, it was Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue - Kids. Anything fun and stupid never to be taken seriously.
If you could sing like anyone, who would that be?
I would just like to be able to sing without assaulting someones ears - Annie Lennox or I'd love to be able to sing 'Jolene' - the Miley Cyrus version.
