Artistic License is a mild middle finger to capitalism. It really winds me up that people will judge on someone's wealth, that people will make themselves ill to get more - will remain trapped within a job they despise just so they can buy that new widescreen tv. 'Artistic License' looks at someone within a family with such a view and how they rebel against the office life to pursue the arts... "and when he played he was the richest man in the world"

In Derbyshire there lived a laddy-o
He had three pence in his pocket-o
He also had a fiddle
And a penny whistle
And when he played he was the richest man in the world.
His father said "you silly lad, music won't get you by.
What you want's a factory job, don't even you dare sigh."
But this young man he turned his back
And set off down the road
He's free as the sky and shot of lifting heavy loads.
When he played he was the richest man in the world...
