Artist picture
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
This one started with the guitar part for a change and the words were developed afterwards. Mandolin, ukulele and viola give the backing a South American feel.
Lyrics
RAK 06 Without you Intro: Dm F C(hammer6) F Dm F C4 Dm chorus Dm F I can’t stand to stay without you C Dm I can’t live a day without you F You just have a way about you C Bb Burning in my mind Dm F I act like a slave around you C Dm I just can’t behave around you F Coiled up and concave around you C Dm Desperate to unwind. verse1 F C Bb Standing counting leaves to pass the time F C Dm While the patterns weave their weary lies F C Bb As the icy fingers leave their rime F C Dm Emptiness still lingers in my mind Break: as intro chorus verse 2 All the birds have lost their song The colours of the world have drained away Where is the place that I belong? All that once was fancy is now fey chorus intro x2 as outro
