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
Another long-time love song... Written on guitar but kept turning into a big band number in my head... so I scored a piano to give it a different feel and orchestrated it a bit with Cubase.. now with a youtube video from our wedding in 1972.. http://youtu.be/GFPVAWf21Ow or now link through from soundclick.
Lyrics
(E7) A Ab G D Eb E F Rain or shine, whatever else may befall you’ll be mine (A F# B E7) Through bitter water or through wine you’re with me rain or shine Perfect rhyme, through it all you know we’ll pass that test of time So to our fates now lets resign, we’re there for rain or shine A E7 (A-A7) C#m E A E F F# B C B B+ Some go for transient pleasure Some things are made to last You know that measure for measure Solid gold is better than brass Rain or shine, though the secret’ hard to define This far down the line, I know you’re with me rain or shine
