A slow, country feel ballad of loss and insomnia at high latitudes...
ballad country pedal steel
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
White nights at high latitudes in the summer make it hard to sleep.
Lyrics
Midnight in Helsinki EF#mAB7G#mAB7B7 EC#mEAA E BA EF#mG#mG#7G#7 AEB7e The curtains are drawn but the light is all pervasive I'd call a d ask you over buy I know I'd not be that persuasive Being here without you is enough to make me weep It's midnight in Helsinki and I just can't get to sleep It's midnight in Helsinki and I just can't get to sleep EEGGDDAA EEGGDDB7B9 I walked up to the market square the buildings were imposing I bought a brooch I thought you'd like to wear The girls there in their summer clothes couldn't stop my eyes from roving But then thoughts turn back to you it isn't fair The sun is shining g bright I can't complain about the weather Though the breeze in off the season a little chill. Thoughts keep Slipping back to the time we were together Of solitary life I've had my fill Remember once you told me I was lacking in emotion But don't you know still waters run deep All that I could offer was a lifetime of devotion Now it's midnight in Helsinki and I just can't get to sleep ?
