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
Written after a long dusty ride through Uttarakhand in the back of Mr Kumar's car - I often start with a simple, literal line and let it develop from there
Lyrics
ROR 02 Long day UK(In) It's been a long day The road was slow and winding and the dust got in my eyes I’ve come a long way And as the miles were grinding past I came to realise That things had slipped awry Echoes die away It's been a very long day It's been a long day I'll try to sleep through sorrow but I fear that sleep won't come I know that I’ll pay But there'll still be tomorrow and I'll try another run Face towards the sun In a different way It's been a very long day While there's life there's hope I must remember Keep my spirits from decline And though the choice was hers I can't condemn her I could have stopped it all if I had seen the signs It's been a long day There may be more on the horizon if I let it get me down So what would you say Should I slip on a tie and hit a singles bar down town Head back to the fray Or drink the blues away It's been a very long day |E||F#m|AE|E| |E||F#m|AE|E| |F#m|G#m|AG|E|E| |AE|B7E|AE|B| |AE|B7E|C#m |G#mF#m B|B
