If you walk into the room and say, ‘I have this song…’ and then play it, you’ll probably get a complimentary response. After all, it’s your song, they don’t want to squash it right in front of you.
On the other hand, if you walk into the room and say, ‘I have an idea for a song…’ and then play some of it, you’ll get a much more interesting reply…I liked this part but not that part, what if you tried this, what if it went here next, keep working on that section, that word sounds cool.
The words we use in the setup dictate the way it’s listened to.
