Quote

If you can surrender your protection devices, in order to track the potentially raw and perhaps elusive emotions that are the song's DNA, then that is creative vulnerability, which is ultimately hugely empowering.

Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. I've had to open up to grief in different contexts.
