about

I wrote a quick song about how much it costs to be a musician and how i can't stop doing it anyway.

lyrics

£300 for the electric guitar
6 quid to string it or I won’t get very far
5 notes on plectrums
10 in a pack
£200 on pedals to mask the skill that I lack
£30 per session for a practice space
50 hours at a mirror perfecting this face
1000+ Queen Heads on a decent PC
(And let’s just say the software came for free)
Then there’s £300 a day to record it right
And if you’re lucky you’ll get a share of £50 a night
There goes another 100 bucks for mastering
But absolutely nobody can tell you what that means

This song cost £2000
This song cost £2000
This song cost £2000
This song cost £2000
Approximately $2500
I've always known I shouldn't have bothered
This song cost £2000
This song cost £2000
This song cost £2000
This song cost £2000
