Hellcat Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 the title is a bit confusing but i have noticed this with my own writing a couple of times.maybe my examples would make sense of this.i had a lyric that goes 'every Australia day i want to kill myself"from about a year ago and the melody is nearly exactly the same as mikes chorus in modern world.also in 2005 i had a lyric."when i was a child my family took me down town to see the marching band"and then what do you know mcr release the black parade.i know this is just a coincidence.anybody else that writes songs here, has this happened to you before.
Sarahnade. Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Not that I recall in particular.But I sometimes hear a melody of a song, and it sounds like I've heard it before. Like, it'll be a new song I've never heard before, but it's like major deja vu. So, I think I sometimes hum melodies and stuff, oblivious to it really, but then I hear it in a song, and it's a little strange.
Sharmellow Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I can't think of any at the moment, but if there are that's because people get 'inspired' by other songs. Like, taking a song, rearranging/adding a couple different notes, etc to a song and making it there own...If that made any sense whatsoever. So, it's a possibility that there are songs that sound similar to Green Day.
Aurora Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 There was this one repeating riff in Transformers (first one) that the strings played when there were helicopters and I forget what else in the scene. I'd written the same exact 8 bar riff on my guitar the week before. EXACT. and it wasn't featured in the commercials so I didn't hear it before. at first I was sort of miffed about it, but then I felt good that I'd written something that someone else thought was good enough to be in a movie.
drumstick Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 well...When some of the lyrics of East Jesus Nowhere came out before we heard the song I was wondering how the song sounds...and I was singing the chorus in a lot of ways and melodies and I heard "the real melody" in my head before I heard the song When I bought the album I was pretty shocked
Juan Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah, turns out I ripped Android's chorus a while ago
Greenday_Aussie Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I wrote a riff a few weeks back before I got into the Foo Fighters...turns out the riff was practally the same as Fraternity..I was pissed.
Wolfdemon Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 YESTurns out one song I wrote for my bass sounds almost exactly like Jimmy Eat World's "23." Mix of bass and guitar. I was so pissed off. But I did get a 96 n it for Music Theory Class And I can't tell you how many times I started saying something and then the whole school started saying it and then it started spreading all over the place and I'm like WTF I'M PUTTING A COPY RIGHT ON MY SHIT.
Muttweed182 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Not exactly but when I was 7 years old and I knew I wanted to start a band I was so fucking pumped that I came up with the best most fucking awesome name ever........ The Clash...... Oh how I was a very disappointed 7 year old. But it did get me into a great band so at least I didn't feel like total shit.
emmaILGD! Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 It's the other way round with me. I hear a song, and then if I feel like writing one, it'll turn out pretty much the same as the song I've just heard .Oh, and this probably doesn't count, but I can't say the word ''anenome'', so I said ''wouldn't it be awful if one of the songs on the new album had that word in it?''. And then I heard ''Silence is an enemy'', and I wanted to cry.
GreenDay808 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 yah, i've never had it happen to me personally, but i thought about it before.like what if you made a song, then recorded it and put it on the internet, and then like a year later some singer/rockstar comes out with something similar? could you sue them? that'd be kinda cool, but if yours isn't popular, and theirs is, that would kinda suck too...
Astrid. Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 It's the other way round with me. I hear a song, and then if I feel like writing one, it'll turn out pretty much the same as the song I've just heard .Oh, and this probably doesn't count, but I can't say the word ''anenome'', so I said ''wouldn't it be awful if one of the songs on the new album had that word in it?''. And then I heard ''Silence is an enemy'', and I wanted to cry.How come you can't say it? I never write my own music, basically because I suck at writing songs. So I never had it
emmaILGD! Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 How come you can't say it?I don't know . I've never been able to say it. So no whenever I sing ''Silence is an enemy'' it comes out as ''Silence is an enemeny''.
Astrid. Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I don't know . I've never been able to say it. So no whenever I sing ''Silence is an enemy'' it comes out as ''Silence is an enemeny''.Sorry! I heard it more that it's a difficult word... In my language it's more easier to say it: anemoon.Don't say it like 'moon, like the thing in the sky' but like an O
emmaILGD! Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Sorry! I heard it more that it's a difficult word... In my language it's more easier to say it: anemoon.Don't say it like 'moon, like the thing in the sky' but like an OI think I like your language
Peel Slowly And See Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 This happened with Ruby Room. I'm not kidding.
Nobody_Likes_You Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 ^In ours it's FEIND Wow, you're from the UK and that is a difficult word for you. Well, wouldn't have expected that.
Harriet Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 And I can't tell you how many times I started saying something and then the whole school started saying it and then it started spreading all over the place and I'm like WTF I'M PUTTING A COPY RIGHT ON MY SHIT.That's happened to me quite a few times, it's really annoying. I came up with a really funny joke about one of our teachers, and then my friend went round and told everyone. Everyone thought it was hilarious, and they think he came up with it
Jesus*Of*Suburbia Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I did actually a longgggggg longggggggggg time ago. When I was about 14, then not too long after Green Day came out with a song, escapes my mind at the moment, the lyrics were different but the melody was the same. I thought it was cool. I thought "I must really know their style or sumfin."
NowhereBound Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Well, it's not too similar, but i wrote a poem a couple months before the new album came out and one of the lines are "The very inner core of his heart seems to be dying."Which kinda reminds me of "Inside your restless soul your heart is dying." [from Viva la Gloria (Little Girl)]It sorta similiar, I guess... :/
AndrewW91 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I wrote this guitar riff quite awhile ago, and when I listened to American Eulogy for the first time on that radio broadcast thingy mabobber they did, I noticed that the chord progression during the verses of Mass Hysteria sounded A LOT like it. It was the same, but in a different key. I thought it was pretty cool.
