Our creations are our children. Of course we love them, warts and all, but when they go out there into the wide world to make their way -- as children and songs both do -- and turn out to be greater then we ever imagined when we first held held them, we can't help but want to brag, "Hey! I had something to do with that!" But we're not trying to take credit, just bask a little in the reflected glory. It's like saying "I knew him when he was just a little tune!" It's full of awe and delight of what the little thing we created went out and became on its own.
Hmmm. Maybe that's why I can't bear to throw away my notes, as crude or as dead-ended as they are, even for a finished piece: they're baby pictures.
Yes! There's nothing wrong with being happy that one of your creations made a name for itself. :-) And I suspect that with as much cooperative work as goes into this band, you all get a little of this and a lot of contributing to others' work, so it balances out.
