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
This rather mournful number needed and appropriate instrument of wind... I considered a scored oboe but in the end called on the services of my good friend Jim from Jinan (aka Liu Haoran, ???) on the Hulusi. Of course he thought he was playing a traditional Chinese folk tune 'Bamboo under the Moon' - but it fitted surprisingly well (with a little bit of tweaking!) Many thanks Jim!
Lyrics
5th fret run Am (open B string all through) E(C) Em(C) D7 Dm7 Am B7 E Am (open B string all through) E(C) Em(C) D7 Dm7 Am E Am(B) A Dm G C A Dm G C E7 Had a love that came to me Brought me chains to set me free Took it to its apogee whispering in the wind (whistling?) But though she said she came to stay She took my heart and ran away Left me with not much to say whispering in the wind Hey Maria, time goes by Hey Maria, hear me sigh Walking through an empty street Feeling lost and incomplete Freezing in the summer heat whispering in the wind Jostled on a crowded train Unaware I still remain Hooked on to a sad refrain whispering in the wind
