He acknowledges that it is impossible to understand what to include without potentially destroying the tune. He questions how one can contribute to a piece of music that is currently so well-crafted and present. It is a predicament that lots of artists deal with when working together or covering a song.

It serves as a suggestion to value and honor the art that currently exists.
