Artist and songwriter Dokta Brain Doorkey has opened up about how some songs are not necessarily created for the average listener, arguing that it sometimes takes a certain level of talent to fully understand the lyrics and creativity behind a song.According to Dokta Brain, talented writers often package their music in ways that may not immediately resonate with ordinary listeners, but can instead be appreciated more by fellow creatives and people who understand the art of songwriting.He gave an example of his own song, Street Culture, which performed well on streaming platforms but failed to achieve the kind of numbers he expected on YouTube because, according to him, many Ugandans did not understand the song.I wrote it because it was to be loved more by artists or people who are talented. I over packaged it like a will.The songwriter also revealed that there have been instances where he wrote songs intending to sell them to other artists, only to eventually change his mind and release them himself.He cited his project Nkuwulila, featuring Kataleya and Kandle, which gained attention on social media. Dokta Brain explained that the song was initially meant for sale, but most of the artists he approached were too busy to take it on.Some of them didn’t understand it.
