- roryokane 15y agoI agree that it is written unclearly. One problem is the use of the word “possible” where he means “possibly”, but there are many more badly worded parts. This is what I think he’s saying: Many people give up on writing songs before the songs are finished because they don’t expect the songs to be good. Most people are wrong about this, for one of two possible reasons: 1. they are just being lazy and making up excuses for not finishing 2. they are underestimating the quality of their work because they're looking at an unfinished product; if they saw how the finished product, they would think it’s okay. Therefore, you should finish writing your song, even if it’s a ‘bad’ song, because in the end, it probably won’t be bad after all.

- jal278 15y agoMaybe it's almost a plus that the quote is a bit muddled; I interpreted it in a different way: Even if it is a bad song, at least you've written a full bad song, which means you may have learned something that may make your next creation better. Both interpretations are valid, and both reflect something about innovation in general.
