A gentle acoustic ballad
acoustic ballad
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...

Lyrics
What are you scared of? Bm+5Bm+5!Asus4A G2G2BmA Bm+5Bm+5!Asus4A G2G2BmAA What are you scared of? Fear makes you aggressive What are you scared of? The outcomes unimpressive What are you scared of? What futures are you after What are you scared of? It's leading to disaster Don't get defensiveBuild a wall if that's your chosing Or apprehensiveNonetheless you'll end up losing You're not a fighterBe a mover not a shaker Try something lighterBetter to be a peacemaker Gmaj7Gmaj7!A6A6 F#F#E9E7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7!Em7Em7 Fm6 Fm6GG If you are fearful how can your brain function Fight or flight you're up the junction Chaos flows without compunction Hurting all involved Your reptile brain will guide your actions Logic soon will lose its traction Not a chance for satisfaction nothing ever really gets resolved Just try to listenReally hear what people are saying And peace may glistenAct in good faith instead of praying Look for solutionsMaybe nothing is so frightful Not revolutionsTry to be more insightful Bm What are you scared of? What are you scared of? What are you scared of?
