as well. Sometimes a songwriter or lyricist will work something over and over and not realize until later it was just fine from the beginning. Adding layers and layers of instruments or twists in the lyrics aren't always necessary for a piece to be beautiful and convey the vision/thought of the artist. It's one reason that some of the best songwriters/lyricists begin something and may leave it sit for years and come back to it several times to evaluate it and may never put it out or be satisfied with it. Just an attempt at an expression about something that didn't work enough for us. We'll keep working our expressions and maybe something will come along.
