Q. Hi Oracle,

 

In the song When Love Takes Over by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland, there is a piano part which sounds almost just like Clocks. Is that them copying Coldplay?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Diego from Mexico also wanted to know whether permission had been sought for that melody line. The thing you have to remember with music is similarity does not mean copy. Granted the piano riff in the above mentioned song sounds almost identical but the point is, it isn't and therefore there was no breach of copyright.

Oh my gosh! That sounds exactly like Clocks!

 

it really does!!!

and you know what at first i thought it was a like remix type deal and then i saw the video i was like "what the :censored:"

-:lol:

and brooke i never knew that but its the truth, only one chord changed it from being a copyright infringement. see they should show joe satriani this...

"coldplay doesnt sue people whos songs sounds like thiers!!!

That kind of makes me a little angry, but the thing is, they sound TOO MUCH alike... :rolleyes:

 

However, the thing with Satriani was that it wasn't the ENTIRE song that sounded alike it was just a couple notes, and not to mention, weren't two completely instruments used? In this song they played the piano notes that are exactly like Clocks, which coincidentally play through almost the entire song, just like Clocks.

 

Not just the keyboaard/piano, thing sound the same but the 'head under water' and 'Tides I can't swim against' make it sound EVEN more similar, to me... :dozey:

 

Oh Well, just because Coldplay doesn't sew her doesn't mean I don't dislike her music even more... :)
