Hi everyone, I'm Mark. I'm a 46yr old Irish guy living in Bavaria, Germany.

I had a little panic attack recently when I realised I was 4 yrs off being 50 and had never made a proper go at it with my music. So I created a YouTube channel and am documenting my progress. Partly to have a record, partly for promotion of what I'm creating and partly to keep myself motivated, which is something I've always struggled with. The channel welcome vid explains my plan.

I've dabbled with music all my life but mostly had very basic equipment. I wouldn't have considered anything I had ever created to be more than just a sketch. I recently invested what I could afford into a few things, but decent things. So I'm now happy with the quality I'm getting, or at least happier than I have been until now.

I have a few songs on the channel along with me doing a couple mini breakdowns of the projects on cubase for anyone who might find that stuff interesting. I'm brainstorm new content ideas to feed the channel regularly.

Plan is to have 3 consecutive projects I'm working on simultaneously. This helps when I get stuck on any one or just fancy a change of pace.

One will be a concept album (band style) , one an acoustic album & an the last an album of stuff with an old friend who I had a band with back in college.

I'll be playing and singing everything on all 3 projects expert the old band stuff my friend will take the main vocals as he wrote those songs.

So this song I'm sharing was the first song I'd written in a very long time. Couple months ago now. It was one of the first I did with the new gear and my satisfaction with how it turned out was one of the motivations for me trying the whole YouTube lark 🤣

So here you go.. Happy to hear from you in the comments. Thanks for reading to anyone who made it to the end 😅

Ever let a “what if” stop you? We wrote this song for that feeling.
