Story Behind The Song

This is the instrumental version of the 3rd song on Volume 1 of our son-to-be-released 3-volume concept album "Grey Expectations. The album progresses chronologically and this song takes place when our characters are children. I always found it bizarre that adults tell us we can be anything we want to be when we're children... even when they know that's not realistic. "You can be President, a football star, an astronaut, etc." Then when we get older and prepare to graduate or go to college, suddenly all that changes. "You can't be a musician or an entrepreneur... that's unrealistic. You need to get a real job... with health insurance." And in a nutshell, that's what this song is about.

Song Description

The track itself is upbeat with some chord changes that shift the mood into something a bit more reflective before snapping back into the main rhythm. There are no samples in this. All live musicians and live drums. I've always felt this song has a lot of placement potential and several other industry folks have told me this song deserves some placement. The music is melodic and bouncy with some funky piano sections, organs, and the drums are delightful. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
