About this Quote
In this quote, Levon Helm is suggesting that taking a break from a tune can help to break out of a creative rut. He is suggesting that in some cases, when working on a tune, it can end up being repeated or stagnant, and stepping far from it for a night can offer a fresh viewpoint and restored inspiration. This might be analyzed as a reminder to not require imagination and to enable oneself time to charge and come back to a project with a clear mind. It also highlights the significance of taking breaks and not getting too caught up in the imaginative process.
