about

- Home recorded demo (mixed with headphones) -

Very little prerecorded stuff (only the very boring things to play) but a lot of programming in order to have different electronic effects "following" the structure of the song.

Better if you listen to it with headphones

lyrics

Today's his turn to pick up the children
The house's a mess, but he'll clean on Sunday
'Cause now the deadlines are getting closer
He has to save time for the side projects

You got to run when you're a pro

The ritual dance of his career planning
Is getting hectic, but getting results
And he realizes that sacrifices
And even losses cannot be avoided

You're not thin-skinned when you're a pro

When you're a pro like him
You get a life like his
People don't get just how hard it gets
What can be jeopardized
Isn't he right?
Well, of course, he's polarized
Is there a choice
No, he's not trapped in his own shifting patterns

Here's the thing, when you're a pro
You do just like him, he doesn't look back
And stop and wonder if it was worth it
And even if so, the answer is yes
Could you come up with some better options?

No room for doubts when you're a pro

Last week he could not catch up with his friends
Sometimes for pros, that's the price to pay
But he's not complaining, he knows what's at stake
And wishes people could just understand

It's a hard life
That's because

When you're a pro like him
You get a life like his
People don't get just how hard it gets
What can be jeopardized
Isn't he right?
Well, of course, he's polarized
Is there a choice
No, he's not...
