It's like a joke, anyone can read a hilarious joke, but if you fail on delivery, it doesn't matter how good the joke itself is. People won't laugh.

This is a great point - I studied music production, I studied how songs are crafted etc

No amount of me listening to and breaking down the Beatles will get me to create anything near what they did.

Great music is always more than the sum of its parts.

To go a step further, it’s why when you look at scenes/genres there are always one or two artists that have IT. Everyone else is making music that sounds similar but they just don’t have the magic.
