You are not the ‘Great Creator’ of your songs, you are simply their servant, and the songs will come to you when you have adequately prepared yourself to receive them. They are not inside you, unable to get out; rather, they are outside of you, unable to get in. Songs, in my experience, are attracted to an open, playful and motivated mind.
—Nick Cave
This thought frees you up. Your ideas don’t say anything about you, they are not you, you are simply interested by them.
In this way, curating and creating are the same thing.
