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 complex treatise on chaos theory started life on guitar and the lyrics just grew of their own volition... I stand by the opening couplet!

Lyrics

2x (E9 A11as intro)

E9 A11
 If you look too hard you just may not see
 E9 Bm7
 What’s going on in the periphery
 E9 A11
 You need to open up and absorb it all
 Gº B7
 To see the way the dice will fall 

You may not find what you’re looking for 
 Or reach an unexpected pass
 Don’t get resigned to what’s gone before
 This change will never be your last 
 Em B7 Em 
 This change will never be your last 

Am Emm
 If beauty’s what you’re searching for
 B Em
 You’ll find it all around
 Am Emm
 And if you manage to retain that awe
 Aº B
 The feeling’s more profound

You find the desert in a grain of sand
 An ocean in a water drop
 Fractal repetition helps you understand
 That there’s no bottom, there’s no top
 That there’s no bottom, there’s no top

Vvcv as instrumental

Repeat chorus & last verse

Fade out as extended intro

featuring Jon Garvey on Saxophone and Steve Franks on Guitar
