    Well, thing is, it’s not easy to expand on a song. You can’t just reuse the same melody+rhythm without changing anything about it or it’ll likely be boring.

    And especially with your darlings, it can be tricky as an artist to make such changes, because you might feel like any such change makes it less perfect.

      Funk musicians have a bad habit of scribbling out a killer moment as the intro to a song with absolutely nothing in common. Most famously, “Digital Love” is like five seconds from a George Duke song. Mandrill’s Composite Truth opens with an intense horn section that was apparently paid for exactly ten notes.
