martin stirrup

Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song

Definitely inspired by the sunsets over Bagan.. but written with a follow-on feel from 'Don't Wanna Talk About the Girl' - getting it back together and all that. (Why I wrote songs like these whilst travelling in Myanmar is of course a mystery...)

Lyrics

D G F#m A D
Deep red sunset shine your light on me 
Bm A D
Blow my mind and set my spirit free 
Bm A
Though I know things must change 
G
The hope still remains 
Em C- A
That I can get back my equanimity 
D G F#m A D
Deep red sunset shine your light on me 
F#m D
Spread my wings and let me be 
Bm F#m 
As I once was before 
G
You walked through my door 
G F#m A D
Deep red sunset shine your light on me

D G
The best times are when we stand together 
D C- A
But there are times when a man must stand alone 
G F#m
When you’ve got to see it through 
Bm G
And no-one else will do 
Em A
And your dreams with all the summer birds have flown 
D G
And though your darkest thoughts may still wonder whether 
D C- A
That empty feeling will ever pass 
G F#m
Despite the long travail 
Bm
You know you must prevail 
G D C- G
Each moment growing better than the last 
G A D
Sliding to the future from the past.
