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
picked guitar and mandolin drive this modern folk song - about getting what you wish for! Part of the Age Old Story cycle... Reading Mike Heron/Andrew Greig's book 'You Know What Yoou Could Be' reminds me of just how much I still owe the ISB...
Lyrics
AOS 07 You blew me away F C Woke up to grey and dank F C Oh how my spirits sank F C When itCs dark and drear F C The sparkle disappears G G7C Half awake with the sleep still in my eyes But then I felt a touch So gentle nothing much I turned and felt you there Asleep without a care And just then the sun burst through the skies FG C G Am Realisation dawned oh lord it wasn't my recurring dream F G CGAm When you stirred and yawned I knew I'd made it with my crazy schemes G You blew me away F G Am The world stopped turning - You blew me away F G Am The end of yearning - You blew me away F G Am Feel the passion stirring = You blew me away I had to think and fast How to make this last I gotta keep this canned Don't want no one night stand Then you laid your hand upon my face I couldn't turn away I had to make you stay You were the one for ne I kissed you tenderly And took you off in love 's embrace Realisation dawned that this was gonna be the new reality Not to be scorned we'll be together for eternity You blew me away etc
