A jazzy number with descending bassline and lovely jazz lead from Roger Brawn

jazz mellow bassline

martin stirrup

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

It’s what you do – or is it what I do? (and can’t stop myself – songwriting, that is…)

Lyrics

A    A7

Em    G+
It’s what you do
    G      A        Am7         G            
Like the blood in your veins running through
D      A           C        G
    To thine own self be true 
Bb                     A                A7
         It’s what you do

It’s what you do
Is it carved there deep in your bones
Or some idiosyncrancy that you’ve honed
It’s what you do

C#m   G#m      
When did you surmise
F#m
Such eventuality
C#m                              G#m    
As fixed as the sunrise
B
In perpetuity

It’s what you do
Something hung on your family tree
To be used existentially
It’s what you do
?
