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
Not directly related to the Robert A Heinlein scifi story (no cold sleep, time travel or cats) but a similar idea I suppose. (Writing the song did make me go back and re-read the story for the first time in 50 years...)
Lyrics
CO 07 Door into summer AEmDAGA BmF#mBmF#mGAa7 Some people like to meditate when life becomes a grind Some yogis claim to levitate or travel in their minds I've got a different constitution And a much simpler solution Because these days in so many ways Our lives are intertwined... When winter winds are biting and the sky is dull and grey Or if the news gets frightening and the demons have their day Chaos manufactured but before my spirit's fractured I know you'll always take me o'er the hills and far away GDADGDA BmF#mGDGAD You're my door Into summer You're my alt-reality If life becomes a bummer That's the only place to be I can take on all-comers When you're standing next to me You're the door into summer for me. So if the chill is creeping and the ice is running clear I wont let it seep in if I know that you are near Knowing youre my lover give a strength that Ive discovered Will keep me warm until and dawn and chase away my fears GDADGDA BmF#mGDGDGD GAD You're my door Into summer You're the grapes upon my vine Whereas life just makes things number you just bring on that sunshine Despite the constant schlep that plumbs the depths You pour me sparkling wine You're the door Into summer Way above all others You're the door Into summer For me ?
