I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what

Summary

This quote reflects a common experience of creative individuals who lack formal training in their chosen artistic medium. The speaker explains that they have composed a song but don't possess the knowledge to transcribe or notate it. However, when they hear songs on the radio that align with their own composition, they feel a sense of familiarity or similarity, suggesting that their intuitive musical abilities have led them to create something reminiscent of mainstream music. This quote exemplifies the idea that creativity can arise naturally even without technical knowledge or formal education.
