The PROs and CONs of a MUSICIAN getting a REAL JOB

Hi there fellow creative :>)

Congratz on composing/ creating again!

It reminded me of this song:

I believe it was inspired by the parents of the front man wanting him to just get a 9 to 5. I have been in a similar situation. Was born with a decent brain in an educated family but never enjoyed school. Was expected to go to Univeristy. Took me seven years to finis my studies and the last years mainly felt like torture, made me depressed. It took me 8 more years - many of them struggling - three of them working as a teacher with money but merely feeling stuck - to finally really break free from what others expected from me and follow my heart.

Not sure if you're on Discord but if you feel like talking, feel free to contact me. Perhaps I can talk you out of this situation ;>)

Greetings from an indie filmmaker who recently moved from Holland to a small mountain town in Portugal.

P.S. I have been working on film projects since 2002 but I have been way less prolific due to all the above than I would like to have been. Nevertheless, we're only living in the now, so no regrets :>)
