Meaning
This reads as a simple tribute to a song that carries emotional force beyond its original setting. He is saying its power is so strong that he feels admiration, even envy, and that the feeling comes from inspiration rather than ownership. It lands most clearly when someone hears a piece of music that seems to say what they could not say themselves.
