You only ever look back on what you didn't do. Subscribe! http://bit.ly/T6psEd iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/mak... This is a song about facing your fears; be it telling that one person how you feel, taking a risk for your dream career or just saying yes a bit more. One day, I was scrolling through my Facebook timeline, envying all my friends for their exciting lives. I was comparing my music career to those who had worked hard and taken risks to succeed. I was coveting the lives of people who'd quit their jobs, packed their bags and gone travelling. And then I realised I can do anything I want to do, I should be inspired by all these stories and let them motivate me to go out and live my life, too. I saw this quote and it really struck a chord: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -I've since tried to find the author but it ranges from Mark Twain to Jackson Brown Jr to Marilyn Monroe (probably!). It brought me back to the moment and made me realise that we are all living our own unique adventures. It doesn't matter what anyone else is up to or what I could have done differently. There is only now, what I have and what I'm going to do next. So I decided from that moment to give my music career my all, and try to remind others to do the things they're afraid of. I finished writing this song after about a year of working on it, I started writing it when I was lost and wondering what to do next. I could only finish it once I'd figured that out. Lyrics: Maybe I'll regret this in the morning Maybe I will wish that I'd been wise Maybe I'll regret this in the morning But right now I can't see past your eyes They say you only ever look back on what you didn't do And I don't want to look back on never having you Maybe I will wake up feeling foolish But I know I won't remember in a year Maybe I will wake up feeling foolish The only thing that's stopping me is fear They say you only ever look back on what you didn't do And I don't want to look back on never having you So throw away the bowlines And all the doubt in your mind Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour? One day we will all look back and wonder About the roads we met but didn't take One day I know I'll look back and wonder But you could be my favourite mistake They say you only ever look back on what you didn't do And I don't want to look back on never having you So throw away the bowlines And all the doubt in your mind Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour? I will be lost at sea I will be lost at sea I will be lost but free So throw away the bowlines And all the doubt in your mind Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour? So throw away the bowlines And all the doubt in your mind Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour? Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour? I filmed this video in Leicester, at Bradgate Park with the amazing Martin Boyce who shot and edited it. He also takes beautiful photos and is a kind person who I'm luck to know so check out his work here: https://www.facebook.com/PhotiesUK Website: http://www.charlottecampbell.co.uk Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1LiAPy3 Twitter: http://bit.ly/1o0WIMT Insta: http://bit.ly/1SJGzJd iTunes: http://apple.co/1PPeSMz
