Good point. That decision has to be made all the time.
Thanks,
Tony

Because every song needs several re-writes!! Well said Tony. This past year I’ve been keeping every iteration of every song as separate files and it’s interesting to see how they evolve. Even then, though, I feel I could do better but maybe don’t push my creativity as far as you do Tony.

Some require lots of time & patience to evolve into themselves. In this case being picky with this song is very important to to do. On the other hand some songs get hatched, and bingo… a tweak here & there and they are able to stand on their own two feet. Could they be better?… probably. Do I want to spend my time doing that as opposed to writing new songs??? Hmmm? For me, balance is a good goal.

I’m glad you added the “within reason” parenthetical, because there has to come a time when you’re done or else you’re stuck in the endless cycle of “working on it.”

And there are lots of pretty good or wonderful songs that may never be heard by anybody but me.
