The premise of anything you do - whether it's writing a song or any business - is ultimately that it hinges heavily on your belief in the thing that you're doing and promoting and selling. It's a reflection of who you are in a very deep way.

American Musician

American Writer

Crucial Dependency

As a verb, 'hinge' is not describing a physical connection but rather an abstract or situational one.

Not Literal

Unlike the noun form, as a verb, 'hinge' does not refer to actual swinging or physical movement.

No Physical Movement

In the medical domain, 'hinge' describes joints that allow movement in only one plane, like bending or straightening.

Body Movement

Hinge joints in the body are limited to only two directions: bending and extending.

Limited Direction

In anatomy, 'hinge' is a precise term, so using it correctly shows an understanding of joint mechanics.
