strangers in the night

In creative fields, there are few things that are more frustrating than being second-guessed. Musicans who really dislike being questioned about decisions made in songwriting are probably the last ones to allow leaks or to test out unfinished songs on live audiences prior to being finalized. And while it may be annoying, I don’t think there is anything inherently wrong in looking at demos or early versions of songs and noting the qualities that are lost when the songs are produced, recorded, and mastered for their use on an album.
