My analogy only applies to ME.

It was not meant to depreciate anyone else's enjoyment of the process. I apologize to those who may have taken offense to the comments. It was not my intention.

Sometimes in songwriting, ignorance is bliss. The less knowledge one has, the easier the process.

I tend to get bogged down with too many details, over analyse everything, can never achieve the level of perfection I seek, struggle with originality and the idea that no matter what I come up with it's been done before and probably better, and as a result the process for me is yet another contribution to my neurosis.

For some it's akin to gardening, sex, giving birth, etc.

I stand by the remarks, as they apply ONLY to me.   8-)
