Glen Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Read on wikipedia that Yellow has strong similarities to the song here by the band pavement. What do you think? Can see what was meant, by the guitars does sound a little similar at the start at certain points. But still Yellow is better of course :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_%28song%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- Gabriel Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The chord sequences in the verses are virtually indentical; they're both variations on C C G G F F (provided "Here" is in C major, but it doesn't really make a difference). The guitar tone is also frighteningly similar, at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PianoRocker Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have commented the video with: -- stuff4all (34 seconds ago) 0 Reply | Spam No, totaly different.. This are just some chords that goes from high to lower, lower again.. also in Yellow.. but many, many songs have that. Some chords on the beat and rhythm bassline and you have this. So it is not a rippoff just a way to play songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- Gabriel Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 So it is not a rippoff just a way to play songs.That's the standard that makes so many songs sound similar nowadays, at least to me. Different bands will often use the same chord sequences, the same song arrangements, and the same lyrical themes, and the songs become so similar that it's hard to find any meaningful difference. I look mostly at the much maligned rap scene and emo scene as evidence of this, though modern pop/rock isn't much better. "Yellow" is not ripped off of "Here"; like you said, it's a fairly common chord sequence, and the other parts of the song differ enough to prove that one is not a rewrite of the other. "Yellow" is a little brasher and more dynamic while "Here" is mellow throughout, and the melodies don't have much in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
