We Don’t Decide

There are plenty of songs, we’ve all heard them, that sound like they should have been hits. They should have been popular. They should have been played on the radio regularly. Just like the ones that we are all familiar with.

But they aren’t.

There are of course reasons, most if not all of which have nothing to do with the song itself. But it’s not always helpful to go looking for those reasons.

Because we don’t decide.

And so, because most of those reasons are out of our hands, we simply carry on making our songs. It turns out that getting a hit isn’t the only way to find and give pleasure from that process.
