Steve left behind a sheaf of lyrics and a laptop full of unrelated and mostly incomplete musical noodles. This is my attempt to stitch the two together. RIP
My Long time friend and musical collaborator died last November after a long struggle against cancer. He left behind a sheaf of lyrics and a laptop full of unrelated and mostly incomplete musical noodles. This is my attempt to stitch the two together... I had fun doing it, I hope you enjoy the results.... Martin Stirrup July 2020

Story behind the song
Steve left the words but no chords/melody. I matched it, with a bit of tweaking (50/50ish), to one of his musical noodles. It's a beautiful romantic lyric so I tried to match that feel
Lyrics
LC 01 Wreck If I was a gambler, Id always play to lose Sometimes when Im starving Im just hungry for some news If I was a sailor Id say prayers for the sea But baby Im an island come and wreck your ship on me If I was a hero I could save you from your mind If I was a pleasure-seeker I would take what I could find If I was a jailor I would throw away the key But baby Im an island come and wreck your ship on me I have blue waters and green fields I have trees and sun and birds I would say how much I need you But I just dont have the words I have food and I have shelter And a fires roaring flame But when youre not beside me My islands wracked with pain wracked with pain If I was a writer Id tell stories to the sun If I was a soldier I would hang up all my guns If I was a jailor I would set all people free But baby Im an island come and wreck your ship on me But baby Im an island come and wreck your ship on me GEmCmaj7D GEmCD GB7CE7 A7C DG A7D G D Em BmAm DA7D
