Honestly, a return policy for a song feels like putting a price tag on a lightning bolt – you’re saying, “This one’s for you or it’s back to the studio.” I love the idea of a safety net, especially when you’re juggling samples from a 50‑year‑old vinyl and a synth line that just won’t stay. But the moment you write “return by day three, if it doesn’t feel right, it goes back to the ether,” the spark can flicker, because the music starts to feel like a product checklist instead of a spontaneous conversation. A little structure helps you keep your projects from drifting off into the void, but keep the rules loose enough that you can still throw a cymbal crash at a random beat and see where it lands. In short, protect the work, but let the process stay messy and alive.

I like that—“reasonable revision period” sounds like a safety net that still lets the groove run wild. If the clause is short, clear, and lets people tweak a track without turning the studio into a spreadsheet, we keep the spark alive. Just make sure the language doesn’t get so fancy that it feels like another layer of bureaucracy, okay? Then we’re protecting the creative flow, not snuffing it out.
