Marley Wildthing - You'll never make it (official video)
“You’ll never make it” is a song about the voices in our heads that are sometimes counterproductive and question everything we do. As an artist, that means being insecure about every creation to the point where you question your existence as a creator. In the end of the song, I am telling all those voices to stop.
The song was recorded and produced in Vienna together with Roland Maurer, the music video was shot in Prague at the musical university HAMU.

Lyrics:
What am I doing this for?
Who am I doing this for?
Am I just gonna spend my life, unheard unseen unfitting?
Too normal to stick out, too special just to fit in?
Too old to succeed, to clever to be lucky
And unfortunately too dumb to just leave
And those voices crawling up my spine saying
You’ll never make it
What am I doing this for?
Who am I doing this for?
Just stop trying to be something, but try a little harder
Nobody likes too much ambition, but be a little smarter
Keep running from one place to another to another
Don’t need no reward, art’s my sugar lover
And those voices crawling up my spine saying
You’ll never make it
