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
The truth indeed... a love song in the blues mode ... I couldn't decide whether it should be a slow blues or a fast blues so I made it both. http://www.martinstirrup.force9.co.uk/mp3mombassatrain/tmt01.htm
Lyrics
Tied and bound –I was lost but now I’m found I’d been given the runaround, but you picked me up dusted me down The truth I was helpless, the truth I was scared The truth had this nasty habit of catching me unawares The truth is you gave me your love and it set my mind free Washed up – emptied out till you filled my cup All but – wrung out till you took me up The truth I was damaged the truth I was frayed The truth – seemed no way that my fears could be allayed The truth is you gave me your love and it set my mind free
