I am asking you to explain why a listener would be specifically interested in exactly what is here.

And if a big time publisher asked you that very question and you answered diffusely with references to stars that you are not and songs that you did not write, he'd prolly be deciding that you weren't going to work out.

Can you answer the question about the elements, characters, context cited in your song?

The appeal is in the humanity and in the frailty. People don't know what songs will be about until they hear it.

Songs are three minute movies. The hope is they connect. Feel empathy for the woman and how in God's name does somebody get to that point.

She has a natural metanoia finally quits drugs on her own realizing that drugs are not the answer, people are.

She's looking for somebody to fill the void as unorthodoxed as she may be

Great answers.

Movies are based on feeling for the characters in it
