What a track ! The lyrics really resonated with me especially the bit about doing what you love isn’t really work until the pressure of constantly having to earn from it makes it much less enjoyable. I’ve been a pro footballer way back in the day but as soon as it’s a living you have to do what you’re told and sometimes play out of position . That made it less enjoyable . I didn’t make the top grade but I still play amateur football now and still love the game but no pressure now . I’ve been a full time martial arts instructor but as soon as it became a living I just wished I was still just training for myself ! I made a living from music too gigging but the pressure of being away and travelling sucked the enjoyment out of that so glad to be teaching guitar and recording for myself and others now . So the subject of this song is absolutely bang on ! Loved the change of direction about half way through awesome work Steve ! Really enjoying this album .
