i've got to get you guys opinions on this because i think this is crazy and i've heard no one anywhere talk about it so far.
so i'm pretty sure that we have all heard about the whole debacle with tom petty and sam smith.
if you haven't, tom petty's people sued sam smith because they felt 'stay with me' sounded just like 'won't back down'. i agree to a certain extent, i get where they're coming from, but honestly, as someone that's been involved with music in many different kinds of ways for decades now i can say that music is going to get progressively difficult to make original as time passes, it's kind of inevitable, i mean how much sounds are there, theoretically? the basic concept of music is pretty repetitious on a human level.. .
BUT WHY HASNT ANYBODY MENTIONED THIS SHIT:
(current radio single)
(obvious source material)
i mean seriously? you're gonna make a huge deal/lawsuit about the sam smith song, which was based more on the timing of the words in the chorus than the whole song in general (the overall sound of the two songs are completely different, its a super vague connection when you really listen to both), but i haven't heard anyone even mention this GLARING rip off yet. if i'm being crazy, let me know, but i just think this is ridiculous.
