A moody song of self-inflicted loss...
love guilt loss remorse selfreproach mea culpa
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
A layered, moody song of self-reproach and remorse
Lyrics
I Did It to MyselfNZ GG7G6G+5 x4 She's left me on the shelf But I did it to myself It's damaging my health But I did it to myself Itll never be the same And Im the one to blame The candles lost its flame And Im the one to blame DG DCD Never fickle never feigning Never angry or complaining Or at least as far as I could tell With her silent opposition My untenable position Left me slowly sliding down into her gravity well When a certain revelation Led to lasting consternation Everything slipped out of my hands With a newly found perception On the nature of deception She saw a new perspective on my cunning plans Memories get hazy When you're out there acting crazy On that you can depend But no matter what the law is One thing you can be sure is Hubris'll get you in the end
