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.

Story behind the song
The first line is a nod to Jon - the wind was in from Africa.....
Lyrics
The Mysteries Within GGDD GCCB7 GB7 EEA DAF#mEEm DAA C GC GAAAmAmAmAm The wind is in from Africa * but cooling cross the sea Sand carried from Sahara joins its fellows on the dunes There's light upon the water from the sinking crescent moon Clipping on the breakers rolling free Running with the tide away from me The repetitious pounding of the surf upon the land Burns its soothing rhythm deep inside my head Still I see our future here hanging by a thread Nothing ever turns out as we planned Castles built upon a shifting sand (hold on A) F#mBmCGDDAmAm F#mBmCGE7E7E7DD C GC GAAAmAmAmAm Relationships tempestuous can take you even higher An objective narrator might declaim Don't be disingenuous, I'm calling you a liar I need some more stability To ward off this fragility Before we're turned to cinders on the pyre. The beauty of the flame lost in the fire The dark is getting deeper clouds are rolling in A leaden blanket blocking out the majesty of stars A hidden cave to close us in complacency devours A sullen space to puzzle out the feelings that are ours C GC GDDC GC GAAAmAm The perfect place for us now to begin Working on the mysteries within * But over the Atlantic to Fuerteventura, not the Med to Crete.
