rafaelchampion Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 This: http://www.mediafire.com/?01ljt7854pgft1f is what I mean. (This is an attempt to put Princess of China's Lyrics on Hurts Like Heaven. Please don't pay attention at the quality, but how we can put the lyrics of one song in the other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotFever Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Okay, the new version is decent. But am I the only one who thinks that Chris sang "lalalalalalala" because he forgot the lyrics? No, I think the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotFever Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
