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
I'm generally quite a speedy person who doesn't like to sit around doing nothing, so this reflects a rare moment of calm for me... Of course, now it might be more generally appropriate as we are all in lockdown!
Lyrics
I Did Nothing CG Today I did something I'd not done for a while CG Today I thought I'd ring in the changes CG Today I did something that really made me smile F C G Something that really rearranges the mind C I did nothing F CG Sat on the sand dipped my toes in the sea C I did nothing F C G Nothing to do and no place to be AmGC I did nothingtoday I did nothing Today I took my mind off the hook Today I let it wander I didn't even bother to bring a book The time was my time to squander I did nothing Sat on the sand dipped my toes in the sea I did nothing Nothing to do and no place to be (3/4 time) AmFC Easing myself off the merry go round AmFC Not giving a thought to the state of the pound AmF G Binning my worries and closing the lid Am GF G Bye to the WiFi I'm off of the grid AmGC I did nothingtoday I did nothing ?
