Attempting to Write Songs

Who, What, Where and Why?

My name is Robert Cooke – I’m a Boy at Heart, songwriter, recording artist, musician, recording and mixing engineer and all-round nutcase for music. I love creating music or getting involved with creating music one way or another.

I have been following my passion for making music for a number of years and the more I do it the more I love it and the further away I get from any danger of ever getting bored with doing it.

I play guitar, try to write songs that are inspiring and that rock both at the same time. I try to deliver an important message without sounding preachy and I sometimes succeed. On occasion I even write a song that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

I live in Phuket, Thailand where I spend my time… Yep, you guessed it – creating music and I have some terrific friends here too who I get to jam with, discuss all sorts of interesting things from the subject of playing guitar and creating music to life, the universe and everything.

Life here is just too cool and a great place for me to be creative. I have a great family both back in the UK (parents, siblings etc.) and here in Thailand (my gorgeous wife and daughter). I feel lucky, very lucky with what I have in my life and I hope some of that can rub off on you either through my music, my blog or both.

The answer to why then? Well isn’t it obvious? Apart from the answer "Why not?" I’d say that the smile I have on my face, how I feel doing what I love to do in a place I love with people I love after turning everything around from dissatisfaction and boredom to living the life of my dreams (really!) is reason enough to keep doing what I am doing, whatever the future may hold.

This music is for all boys and girls at heart.

Please enjoy it!
