Musicology (not by Prince)

Creativity is the approximation and synthesis of the unseen and unheard.

You'll never get to see or hear the inside of my head, so you'll never truly get what I mean when I sing a song, because the song itself isn't the thought or feeling I had, but rather a description of a thought or a feeling that I had.

Hopefully (if I do a good job), I can synthesize that feeling inside of the listener (or at least something close).  That is my constant aim when writing new songs; for you to feel what I feel.
