Summary

This quote suggests that the purpose of writing songs is to share them with others. Writing solely for oneself implies a desire for privacy and self-expression, limiting the songs to the confined space of the living room. However, by sharing the songs, the artist opens themselves up to connections and possibilities beyond their own solitude, engaging with an audience and widening the impact of their music.
