A jolly uplifting pop number
emotion rescue openness
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 jolly uplifting pop tune about the need to open up... the opposite of 'I am a Rock', if you like.
Lyrics
verse A E G D The sun won’t make me wilt, I’ve got a shade for my eyes A E G D I built my house on stilts, for when the waters rise A E G D I keep my mind from guilt, to rise above the lies I built a tall stockade, to keep me secure I trained in first aid, so I’d have the cure Safe but afraid then you broke down the door chorus F G Bb C D Lift me up, lift me up, and set me flying free F G Bb C D Lift me up, lift me up, soar in harmony I was so tightly held, no way in but no way out I was a hermit crab there in my shell, dragging it all about But now you broke that spell, wanna scream, wanna shout Repeat chorus Break Bm F#m Open for all to see Bm A A7 The power in vulnerability Verse in D: D A C G In order to see you must stand tall You have to agree to be open to all Before you break free you must tear down the walls Chorus in Bb : Bb C Eb F G Instrumental verse in G to fade-out : G D F C
