A really good production is vital, but if you don't start with something worthwhile, it's like getting a Michelin starred chef to prepare a turd. It'll probably look better than your mom's apple pie but I know which one will have you coming back for seconds.

At end of the day what matters is the listener feels something. Can u do it without lyrics, yes Beethoven dud a great job if it .

But since popular music joined forces with folk, lyrics matter

Sometimes one line of a song hits you, fior. whatever reason.

But I would not want internet musicians rating my music

The problem is there's not outlets to be heard by regular people, most often they hear songs because it was jammed down their throat.

But still that's what matters, well two things, that you are happy with it, and non involved listeners lije it .

And they will respond to better sounding songs, but that doesn't mean they like it more
