Princess of China's melody fits completely into Hurts Like Heaven's

Honestly, I don't hear it at all. My understanding of the song is not thorough, but here's what we have:

 

POC:

Am - Dm or Am - Cmaj7 - Dm (main riff, verses)

C - Dm (the you could be a princess part)

Dm - G - Am (lalalala)

Am - G - possibly a Dm - Am (outro)

 

Up a half step?

Bbm - Dbm...etc

 

HLH:

Bb - Eb (verse)

F - Eb - Bb (prechorus)

Bb - Eb (instrumental bit)

F - Eb - Bb (chorus)

Bb - Eb (solo)

So on...

F - Eb - Bb - Dm - Eb - Bb (the whoa oah part)

Bb - Eb (outro)

 

Basically, neat idea. But no, I completely disagree with you rafael.

 

ON THE OTHER HAND, POC has some of the same lyrical structures, like the "got to go, got to go" vs "it's so cold so cold".

 

Oh and yes, LIJ and Lost are pretty similar based ONLY on chord progression. But chord patterns get pretty similar in rock music.

 

Don't try to transcript the notes. Just sing one song over the other and you'll se what I'm talking about. Sing Princess of China on Hurts Like Heaven.

And if someone misunderstood me, I didn't mean Chris ran out of creativity at all. I just like how we can create 2 absolutely different songs with the same progression.

Hurts Like Heaven is happy and PoC is sad

 

btw, there's a lot of coldplay songs with similar chord progression or melody or something. I won't make a complete analysis.

 

Lost !/? and The Scientist

Clocks and Speed Of Sound

Life In Technicolor II and Charlie Brown
