Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the lyrics of Moses and Low? I think it's interesting.

 

Moses - "like moses has power over sea"

"if the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me

if you're gonna break down you can break on me

if the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me

if it's gonna rain down it can rain on me"

 

Low -

"The sky could fall, could fall on me

The parting of the seas

But you mean more, mean more to me

Than any colour I can see"

 

Moses obviously makes reference to Moses, and parting of the Red Sea. End of song also talks about the sky falling. Similar themes are repeated in Low.

"The sky could fall... parting of the sea" is an obvious allusion to Moses, just like "climb a ladder up to the sun" in Talk is an allusion to Ladder to the Sun.

 

I'm not sure why Chris did it, but I kinda like how he's referring to older songs.

Yeah there are clear similarities but I think it is good because it reminds you of other songs.

Interesting! When did you found out? Did you just suddenly notice?
