If you’re writing and releasing a crap single, you pray extra hard for steams and likes and shares to combat your internal embarrassment.
Streams and likes and shares of the song you know is crap allows you to falsely validate yourself “hey I make music for the fans”
But deep down you know the truth.
And deep down is what you’re left with at night when you go to bed.
***Write enough to get to the good stuff. Release enough to release the good stuff.
