Songs and music are so simple in many ways. But there's a special ingredient that you have no control over, which is just playing something because you enjoy it. It's very simple and very obvious, but it can actually sort of get the music to work. Whereas if you contrive something, and only make it up and play it because you want it for an intellectual reason, it doesn't seem to have that magic ingredient anymore.
