The same ones in the same sequence get used all the time.<BR/>#3 The rhythm of both chord changes is the same, but it's a bog-standard one, one chord per measure in a 4 bar loop. <BR/>#4 If you took away the vocals from songs you'd find many of them sound almost alike because of #2. So, if Satriani's song actually had vocals instead of a guitar solo you wouldn't the similarity of the songs so much because the mind has a predisposition to focus on the vocals.<BR/><BR/>So I think it's a coincidence, but stranger things have happened.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918916848173119539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477455391113659963.post-71869453505085405982009-02-10T17:12:00.000-08:002009-02-10T17:12:00.000-08:00I don't know why your comment thing is different t...I don't know why your comment thing is different than mine... but when I went to publish this BIG LONG comment... it disappeared... so here is the abbreviated version.<BR/><BR/>1- We watched. Loved MIA - her pregnant belly=LOL!<BR/>2- After listening to both songs, though exactly alike, I'm still convinced Chris Martin did not copy the song. Why would such a talented songwriter copy a song? Paul can write out all his defenses... which include:<BR/>a)tempo<BR/>b) songwriting - chords - used in music writing<BR/>c) what the addition of lyrics could've done to Satriani's song.<BR/><BR/>3 - Loved Adele too.<BR/><BR/>4 - All in all, fun.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397459246809549270noreply@blogger.com
