►► 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...

Want a job? 10:24 Things I noticed 14:25 🎵 "See You At The Office" Music Video **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 Song credits: Written, performed and mixed by yours truly.
