- In this video, film composer Christian Henson discusses courage. How you don't need to FEEL courageous to BE courageous. Whether that be breaking your own artistic mould, jacking in your job, moving country or indeed offering your services up to someone who in turn could help you.
Let us know when courage has benefitted you, or when it hasn't or indeed when a lack of courage has betrayed you.

Your understanding of evolutionary biology is a bit lacking...other than that, good rant.
He missed out on the bit about Jesus riding a dinosaur, but apart from that it was fairly accurate.
I had a mentor who said, “don’t sweat the small stuff. And, by the way, it’s all small stuff…” Life will grind you to a pulp if you let it. The key is to not let it.
I resigned from my job last week after 32 years working for a large global organisation. I just couldn't stand it anymore, staring at a computer screen all day with a ballooning crazy workload was killing me slowly. And what's it all for, a decent wage packet every month and to look forward to a coffin as my leaving gift. Now I will follow my dreams, get healthier, live a more simplistic lifestyle and last but not least restart my music career that I love so much. Thanks Christian, your words really struck a huge chord with me and for anybody else out there in a similar situation if you can do it, do it! Be courageous, you won't regret it!
Thanks a lot for these wise amazing words ! I wish you all the best for your future projects and all the success you deserve ! 🖤🔥
I’m all in with you brother. Did the same 2 months ago myself. I spent all of 2023 losing 50lbs, and realized that I still wasn’t in a happy or healthy place, due to my work/life imbalance. Time to reassess, play more music, and learn more about the real world.
Wishing you the best in your journey brother. Hope you make it to the very top so you get to tell this story of yours!
You were able to keep a job at the same company for 32 years? Wild
You stood up for FREEDOM OF SPEECH, stood up against the bullies who said you must believe what THEY believe and you must never speak against it... and yet you did... that is courage !!!
Taking a public stand against society’s most oppressed, ridiculed, discriminated, victimized, and suicidal minorities is courage?
@deastman2 know my friend unfortunately that's a manipulated narrative... and it's pretty shameful to abuse words like that. He expressed he believes a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl. Imagine that. He stood up for biology and science. And by the way these people would be much happier if they just went and live their life but the fact that they try to shove this lifestyle and force us to believe in it, and then try to manipulate it and make us look bad if we disagree... thankfully the world is waking up to today's tactics. Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I hate you. We are so over these manipulative tactics. You caused this great man to suffer, and we will have no more of this.
@deastman2 furthermore what is a real tragedy is these word bullies, like yourself, claim to defend diversity and acceptance for everyone and yet they can not ACCEPT an opinion... different then theirs? It is the epitome of hypocrisy. If you believe in allowing people to be themselves then let people think what they want to think and don't fight to kick them out of the company they found it because their opinion is different than yours.
@@EdVizenorYou’re really twisting things around. Who is the one dismissing and invalidating an entire group of human beings, and who is speaking up for them? It isn’t being a bully to defend those being attacked. The bully is the one throwing the punches at the defenseless. And it’s amusing that you stand up for him having the courage to speak his mind, but when I do the same in response it’s considered “shameful”. The saddest part is that I’ve always been a huge fan of Christian’s channel until this. Anyway, it’s clear that we aren’t going to convince each other, so let’s just call a truce and walk away.
@@deastman2the saddest part is you using that oppressed minority as a political prop to win an debate in a comment section. You aren't a hero because you want to use gay children as a test subject for your people's "activism." It makes you a circus freak.
im 40 and i still cant pay my bills as a composer, and ivebeen hearing your speeches for years now, and wanted to thank you for your relentlessness in motivation, wisdom and insight.
really thank you for keep doing this.
What type of composition work are you trying to do?
You were Spitfire.
But you now Spit Wisdom.
Thanks as always.
You have been an inspiration.
You spoke the truth, and your friends threw you under the bus.
"What's the worst that could happen?" has stood me in good stead along with "Someone's got to do it, why not me?" for coming up to 40 years. It's been, and continues to be, an adventure!
You are a living example of courage. Ever since I heard about your story and your defense of simple basic truths, and how you suffered for it, that is the definition of courage. You are a hero and someday you'll be rewarded for it
'Greater love has no man than to lay down one’s life for another'. I use this phrase as a measuring stick for courage, and when I do, it helps to remind me of the true meaning of courage and how far many of us are from the meaning of the word. You have left your mark already Christian and are an inspiration for many thousands around the world. The essence of what you are talking about is contained within music itself, in particular the creation of sound. It is multi faceted. I think perhaps you are touching on elements which deserve to be examined and thought of, after all, it is what artists do.
Just sent a submission off for my first doco. The difference you make,Christian, is by no means small, and your courage and brazenness has been an inspiration since I first watch one of your videos 3 years ago. 🤘👊
In the last 2 videos about not giving up and this one you literally gave answers to everything is going on in my life right now, so thanks for the support and the inspiration ! !!
Love these motivational videos, after 8yrs away from composing, today I started back up and it was 4hrs of pure joy found again. Time to keep pushing harder 💪💪💪
Same her, but now it's time to fly again! :)
@@juliebabygirl yes mate! 💪 Only negative is the wanting to buy so much stuff 😂
I'm currently on the verge of getting my media composition service off the ground. Numerous excuses and letting myself off the hook have prevented me from doing it. But I've had it, and now's the time. Thank you as always Christian
@@jayandgem Statistics say that he'll probably do terribly, but the same statistics also say there's a chance he might be the next big thing.
The last courageous thing I did was to go through with open heart surgery 8 years ago. If I can survive that, I can certainly survive and jump over my own insecurities that talk me out of moving forward on this unknown musical path. Thank you for the reminder of how far courage can take someone. Cheers!
Wow. Great topic and you came on my feed from nowhere. I loved the language and passion.
To answer your question - an example of courage: when I got sober 15.5 years ago… I am reminded of the courage to take action or suffer the consequences, but being fearful of the unknown. That took a lot of courage and today, I am so very grateful for the changes and opportunities in my life, one day at a time.
Thanks again for the topic and message.
Man, your videos are great. Introspective, inspirational and a call for action(on oneself). I have decided to stop playing music and focus on another artform. Your words still resonate. I wish you a good evening.
Thank you. I needed this today. Hope your back feels better soon.
In a multifaceted way, beyond the scope of music, I needed to hear this, thanks for the intention on your walk Christian. Cheers from Seattle!
That’s what I was just thinking as I was reading through the comments: having someone, regardless of art form, speak like this can’t help but empower. Reminds me of Rich Roll who talks about ‘Prophets among us’ when he refers to leaders in their field. Christian is one of them. Lucky us.
awesome rant, and no fear of any comeback !!!!! brilliant.
I agree with the comment directly below... however I'll restate it this in this manner: You were the beautiful quirkiness, visionary soul, and risk takingness of Spitfire Audio. These videos of yours are very wonderful due to your willingness to be vulnerable with the audience. Thank you for sharing with us from your heart and soul. TCHC is a wondrous concoction of yours that has my full attention. So good to see you've landed on your feet.
Amen brother. A bad relationship takes courage to break. The devil you know sometimes needs to be kicked to the curb.
Thank you for your courage. And thank you for these vlogs- you always speak so much sense
This is courage. You're 100% inspiring people out there to take these sorts of risks. It's
wild that sharing personal work triggers the reptile brain and same physiological responses as running from a tiger. I love that quote 'whats the worst that can happen?' is something I use to rationalise things and give
me 'courage' - the cost of not doing things is often more dangerous than not. Go get it! Thanks 🙏
Hey Christian! Thank you for beeing such an inspiring person and sharing that!
THANK you. I'm in the midst of putting out what some might call a ridiculous project... and needed this right now. ❤
Yes you are correct in saying 'growing a pair" is what is missing. Take a chance and don't GAF about what other people think or say, however, if you're wrong, take ADVICE. But by all means, take the risk of what's in your head and heart and put it out there!
You're right. It does take enormous bravery to go against the crowd, to change something, to do what scares you no matter what anyone around you says about it. And you're right; the alternative is MUCH worse. This is true no matter who you are.
This is the best thing I've heard to start a new year. Thanks for the videos, thoughts and remember on those nights you're awake all night - there are people out there (here?) you've never met who will always be grateful for all the entertainment, inspiration and advice.
John Wayne once saidf that courage isn't being not afraid, it's about being scared of your mind but "getting in the saddle anyway." Well said, as always, Christian.
Thanks Christian. Appreciate your honesty and self knowledge. Good man.
Strength is doing something you or others are afraid to do, within reason.
actually, you are one of the most courageous persons I know for having stated clearly your private opinion about an critical social issue - the way you have been treated by your then "partners" shows a lot of the bad condition that our society is in atm. giving the musical world tools like VAULTS shows again your great amount of courage and love!
Great video. Not sure just how courageous I am, but I continue to release my own "style" of music on my RUclips Channel. I've done it for more than 5 years, and still have less than 200 subscribers. I'm guessing my music is not well liked by most, but I'm very happy to keep playing it to my faithful "gang" of less than 200 music fans. I think THEY are the courageous ones for actually taking a chance and listening to it.
I found you after looking for epic instruments for my DAW, but now I just enjoy listening to your philosophy.
Been in the Army for way too long and I support this message. Especially the bit about migrating away from c*nts. F*king nailed it. I'm off to buy some CHC clacky.
You do make an impression, and you have made a difference.
"a coward dies a Thousand deaths;
a Brave Man only one"

Love your heart and and your wisdom. Thank you for sharing brother!
All my admiration to you. ❤
I absolutely love this guy! Shine on you crazy diamond.
I really enjoy your therapy sessions. I’m fully subbed. Keep up the good work. 😊
Thanks for being an authentic voice in the YT wilderness....
You are turning into a beacon of hope Chris, Keep walking.....Love your stuff
This is my favorite rant yet! Love your thoughts and your lessons and your samples; Labs, Pianobook, and I’ve even paid money for a few of them!
As an original artist this rant is welcome at this time. The wolf is at the door again , which is somthing ive gotten used to. Ive even used this situation for motivation to zoom in on the question of where the line of doing art or giving my /dependants sequrity meets/divides .The problem now is fear is growing with age and no new answers to the same question. A couple of glasses of wine on board and the viewing of Cristians rant i am now content that im an expert in bravery and will truck on. Ill die happily on this hill, untill the wine wears off.
Christian, I absolutely love your take on this!. As the majority of us tend to keep shtum and accept the politics, egos and mediocrity that blocks our way. I have been fortunate enough to work in creative industries for the past 35 years and as your rant evolved I was putting faces to the 'beings' you spoke of. I smiled, grimaced and at the end felt like a cathartic experience - thank you.
"....Eating Italian food with no tomatoes...." - _ROOOOAAAAAARRRR_!!!😂 You're on a roll here to end that proverbial roll one can be on! But again ... so captivatingly awesome, brilliant, raw, honest, deep and meaningful, enlightening, educational ...
You're better than ever with these! For what it's worth and in light of my own and all our mortality.... you sure keep "making a (good) dent in my universe" with all your being (and loosely qouting another "grumpmaster", the late Steve Jobs). Added bonus: I get to add a few cool terms to my personal lexicon complete with etymology,I love it!
Thanks galore! (the panoramic vista was particularly spectacular today up and down the hill and overlooking your home turf, fabulous!)
Had to treat myself to a reprise and roar also for the "....top of the food chain sitting on a soft couch in the middle of winter in your beach wear using those opposable thumbs to play.... Nintendo." I'd say you had a fab George Carlin moment there!😂
@the crow hill company - christian, your music for significant other is brilliant. thanks for your channel.
Great inspiration as I also climb those hills of life, tired and spread like butter across too many restricted timelines, but ....I started composing 40 yrs ago & last week my music was chosen for the first time for a YT video soundtrack series, "Never Ever, Ever, Ever...give up" - Churchill.
smooth transition from profound rant to merch pitch was perfect...
Courage isn’t the absence of fear, bravery/courage is knowing the fear and acting anyway.
We would disagree on some things I am sure, being human and all, but your videos are an inspiration for music making and for creativity, especially this one. I love this commitment to the lexicon and your advice to mitigate the squirming, and I hadn’t thought about the change in language around “risk taking” vs “courage” so that was particularly interesting. I realise I was that kid with the scabby knees, but a long time ago, and now, regarding courage in my own life, it’s not the dramatic events that required courage (or bravery) that come to mind, it’s the courage needed just to get through a “normal” day sometimes. I will be playing this philosophical rant on repeat. It was a real shot in the arm - thank you for putting it out there, and I enjoyed the walk!
I always enjoy your insightful rants.
As from @10:13 David Attenborough can be inspired with these punching words of reality! Thanks mate, that was amazing!
Thanks for the talk.
Chris mate…well done ✅….absolutely my cup of tea 👍
My life moto: The bullies will be punished by themselves. They made me stronger and i don’t even need to use my strength on them.
Well said, and spot on, if you ask me.
I LOVE YOU MAN!!! ❤ KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!! 🎉 Actually, you demonstrated courage Yourself by leaving Spitfire Audio and starting this new company. So Bravo to you, good sir!! 😀🎹🎵🎊
I'm working in the film industry for many years and I don't have any problems. The best advice I can give: If you really good at something. I mean, EXTRAORDINARY GOOD, than get in contact with the big major companies. Don't waste your time with small companies because they will never appreciate your talent and they will never support it. And most important: THINK BIG! Don't say "I'll want to reach the stars..." instead say "I want to reach the entire universe". Of course you will never reach THAT, but, and now comes the point, on your way to reach the entire universe you will reach and catch MANY stars! So, stop thinking small, start by thinking BIG.
Timely words Christian
Great subject. Perhaps we need to recognise that selfishness can be mistaken for courage, but maybe we need both in order to take the leap. I left a highly-paid office job to start a construction company, paying me and my brother (a bricklayer) a pittance while we got it off the ground. I became an Accidental Carpenter and retired 2 years ago, having loved every minute and I never looked back. The worst that could have happened? We flop and I go and get another job. The best? A happy working life, which was the case. Was I courageous or selfish? Bit of both.
brilliant. nice one x
Great video thanks Christian 👍
Good for you and your candor...and cool hat. I want one like that....
Just waiting for you to be ready to ship the march internationally...
Great Vlog Christian...
Hello to the Crow Hill Gang !
I am going to make a piece of music using a load of quotes from this video as I think it will really work well !
Where should I send the finished product ?? 👍🏻❤️
Your dad sounds like a wise man. If I ever make it to Scotland, I'm going to buy you a drink mate. 🍻Keep doing what you're doing.
Nintendo or perhaps kalimba!!! 🤔 🙌✨️🎶😊
Also… Peter Andre’s keyboard player! Iconic 🎉
Being brazen or taking risks for risk sake is not courage but a gamble taken at the risk of hurting oneself and/or others. Taking CALCULATED risks and being persistent on the other hand takes in consideration not only what is easy to grasp but what could be within reach with more focused effort and practice. Everything doesn’t need to be all or nothing, life or death. Persist and seek your goals, just NOT at others expense. Worthy efforts earn worthy rewards.
i have never thought about courage or the concept as i am not afraid
you're a madman. keep going.
I'm at a crossroads in life and not even sure what direction to turn and go in but this has let me know I'm not alone
Best Nintendo advert ever...
Dope message man!
I loved the space snot analogy
God I love this man.
2:58. Yep. Quality rant, Christian. PS - That's a rather dapper 'baggy' perched atop :).
Enjoyed the rant, nothing to contribute but I know commenting helps with the algorithm
Left a job, left the town I’ve been living in for the past 20 odd years, gave up most of my possessions except necessities for living and creating music, taking a winter sabbatical to house and pet sit on an island before moving country with my EU passport, perhaps to offer my service to someone who in turn, could help me. Well said.
Very interesting talk
Hoping the merch will be available outside the UK
What an amazing message. I feel Christian was wrongly accused for speaking TRUTH in the face of a relentless cancel culture echoed by a minority community that is lost in their thinking...and for that alone, I will always support him.
r.e. the last couple of blogs. I keep coming close to giving up on what I'm working on now. The final stage of which is to release it into the wild which is daunting to say the least. I may well take heed of your advice and see it through. BICC = Bournemouth International Conference Centre ...I think.
It's often been said, the majority of things you're afraid of, only occur in your imagination. Same with stress, perhaps to a lesser degree, but I think the "and?..." test is a great takeaway from this vlog.
That appears to be quite a schlep up the hill (wonderful views below and in the distance). Good for you! How much elevation did you climb and what is the location?
Christian is in Holyrood Park hiking up to Crow Hill (his Company's namesake and also just coincidentally his initials...CH) out behind his house. The fun part today is launching Google Earth Pro and trying to figure out which path he may be on where he's having to walk in between some head high bushes (where his back would be to the Sea). Is he on the 1st trail on the bluff just above Queen's Drive, or is on the 2nd trail half way up the Hill? They both converge into the same trail farther up towards the top. Always great fun to tag along on his outings on the Hill.
@@ericecklund676 Thank you!
Hey Christian I was wondering if you ever saw The Northman. I'm absolutely in love with its score. It's unorthodox, messy, but very textured and gritty.
Roger and the C**NTS the memoirs of a courageous traveler .. Brilliant Vlog .. appreciate your efforts 😅
Genius.
11:35 , "eating Italian food with no tomatoes". As an Italian, it cracked me up. And yes, it took courage to comment on this.
This is along the same lines as ‘fear setting’ which Tim Ferriss talks about in his book the 4 Hour Work Week. Compare the consequences of the worst that can happen to the cost of inaction
Hey Christian! How are ya? Are you using the DJI Pocket 3? I've always loved the look of your videos and I saw a sillhouette that was similar to that camera, thanks!
Courage is deciding to face your worst, deepest fears. Only to end up spending nights in the foetal position, contemplating whether your life choices are just a series of unfortunate punchlines in the universe's dark comedy routine.
But you *will* survive in the end. And you will *never* *ever* regret the path you once choose.🤗🤗🤗
didnt have the courage to go abroad to study composition 20 years ago... so been living my live without any focus since
You can still learn composition. I believe you'll be fine. Wishing you the best!
4.5 billion already? We’re on a roll. Ok so I walked into a hornets nest on this latest project this morning, and this day has been an awesome challenge. Folks really looked up to what I had to say, and sometimes they just want a leader … somebody else to fail ? instead of stepping up themselves … although this thing still might crash, right now it’s sounding pretty good. Courage, yeah! I love your hillside rants 😺
I've heard Tim Ferriss use the same technique that your dad mentioned. He calls it fear casting. I was actually talking to my daughter about it the other night. She gets incredibly anxious. We were talking about the lizard brain and starting to learn to figure out what's worth listening to and what's not. Not sure how much of it impacted, but hopefully a bit.
Now that was a proper rant!
I hope no Nintendo player got hurt...
Jesus is the most courageous man I'm aware of. I was an atheist until the age of 47, but now at the age of 55 I have found the rock on which I can stand. He encourages us to not fear. According to my wife we are told not to fear 365 times in the Bible, one for each day of the year.
Spitfire is lost without you.
Please take the courage to remove the online requirements to install Vaults Beta so I can install it on my offline pc.
