Did I fail as an artist by getting an office job?

Описание: ►► FREE finger drumming lessons → https://questforgroove.com/


I've lived the artist life for about 15 years before finally getting an office job three years ago (at the age of 33). In this video I'm exploring everything that happened up until that point, leading to some interesting discoveries about the 'dangers' of moderate success and whether it's possible to go back to being a starving artist once you've finally know what money smells like...

**Lyrics**:
Hello, maybe you don’t know me
Why don’t you have a seat, I’m making macaroni because
I just gave up my dreams, so I’m cooking something simple tonight

You might, think that I’m dramatic
That I’ll just keep making music from my attic but I
Now see, things they aren’t static
And I gotta make the fluids flow right

'Cause that's life boy
You think that you’re winning
But you’re at the beginning of a massive decline
That’s right boy
It won’t get any better
You think you can still get there but you ran out of time

You could, say that I'm a quitter.
That I never had what it takes and now I'm bitter but I
Now see, life is not a twitter stream of endless inspirational quotes

Good luck, following your passion
I’ll cheer you when you’re climbing and catch you when you’re crashing because
I will always show compassion to a fellow former fool down the road

'Cause that’s life boy
You think that you are smarter
But just by running harder you won’t get very far
That’s right boy
Go write yourself a haiku
And think that girls will like you cause you play the guitar

'Cause that’s life boy
I recognize the tension
The thinking ‘bout your pension makes you burst into tears
That’s right boy
I know how hard this stuff is…
So see you at the office in a couple of years
