That’s a really powerful point, and one I’ve butted up against many times. Everything has to be as strong as you can possibly make it. Listeners pick up on those weaknesses every time, intuitively if not intellectually. You have to be fearless about confronting that stuff, even if you can point to someone else’s song where the same thing works. My experience is the spot where you had a nagging doubt it might be better is exactly the spot where the person you’re sitting across a desk from starts to drum their fingers and looks at their phone wishing it would ring. Laziness is the enemy, and if a song’s 99% of the way there you have no song.
