I'm always a big fan of if you approach somebody politely about something and you're not a nudge - you're just pretty honest and simple, my kind of philosophy is that I'm not afraid of 'no,' and that's way different than 'I won't take no for an answer.'
It is, perhaps, better to be valued as an object of passion than never to be valued at all.
I don't care how good a song is - if it holds back the storyline, stalls the plot, your audience will reject it.
