A Quest to Reproduce Every Nuance

It can get maddening
This pursuit

What was the artist thinking
When playing their castanets?

Were they hoping you'd hear things
Just as they did in the studio
Or on the stage?

Does it matter what they were hoping?
Does it matter what you're hearing?
Is the enjoyment about faithfulness?
Is the enjoyment about the enjoyment?

It'd be great to know the answer to that question
You'll know it when you hear it
You can't hear it until you've dropped
Multiple paychecks into hearing it
Just so

Will you arrive at the end?
Will you just keep searching?
Will you ever truly enjoy?
