My mother, a painter, always said to me (when I had the poor judgement to helpfully point out a "mistake" in one of her paintings): "If I wanted it to look exactly like the subject, I'd have taken a picture of it. For that matter, I'd be a photographer."
Kinda stuck with me. If you don't color it (even the slightest bit) with _you_, who's making the music?
