Surely this sentence is the beginning and the end of the entire matter.

I never attempt to analyse the music I enjoy, nor that which I compose
myself. My experience is that the closer you try to examine something
that moves you, the further away you get from it.

I take the same attitude with all creative activities such as art,
dance, prose & poetry. If I like it, then that's good. If I don't, well
I know what not to see/hear.
