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
This was one of the last songs I wrote in my early period’ and I certainly never played it anywhere. Flipping though the pages of my old songbook and running things through on the guitar it seemed a bit flat so I scored a jerky piano part and some drums and added the simple guitar riff which livened it up no end.
Lyrics
I’ve been thinking are the chains between us linking No pretending seems our lines of life are blending I I’d like to try And I can see that twinkle in your eye I I want you back girl I’m tired of waiting.. sitting here just contemplating On what got between us.. those happy people could have been us I I’d like to try And I can see that twinkle in your eye I I want you back girl Those eyes shining like rainbows In my mind when I’m alone Time flies but something inside grows Don’t it feel like home Oh I.. I want you back girl
