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 started off as an acoustic guitar piece but developed its 'poppish' credentials with the bass and lead, especially in the chorus.

Lyrics

C hammer F C2 C
 Isn’t it strange the way things go
 C hammer F C2 C
 Wanting to change is all you know
 C hammer F C2 C C hammer G 
 But fear of danger letting go is holding you back
 Thinking through possibilities
 Fearing the loss of liberty
 All that once was is flowing free, changing your track

Am G Em F Am G Em
 But you know I love you, beyond my control
 Am G Em F G G7
 And if you go I’ll follow, however the dice may roll

Keeping a track of passing days
 Never look back for all they say
 Slipping through cracks is not your way this time
 Holding your head above the fray
 Weaving the thread another way
 Breaking new bread no need to stay in line

Repeat chorus

Dm G C Dm C
 I’ve got a strong heart, it will not break
 Dm G C G G7
 But don’t play the wrong part, if just for your own sake

Looking to see it all pull through
 Hoping to be the one for you
 Like a tall tree I’m growing true in love
 Certain of it all, our day will come
 When you call you know I’ll run
 Even if you fall I’ll lift you up to the sun above.


featuring Steve Franks on lead guitar
