When your playing sometimes you stumble across something that catches your ear. This is how songs are written. You play something you like and bam. Anyway from time to time you play something that sounds really good, and really familiar.
Paul McCartney said he would write something super catchy and be sure it was another song some one else wrote. He would play it for all kinds of people for 2 weeks. If everyone said they hadn’t heard it before then he would call it his.
So tonight i write this riff. It’s awesome. But i am convinced it’s something else. I thought it might RedNeck Manifesto or The Mercury Program. I listened to all the songs i had by them and it wasn’t any of them. So i started working on the song. I can hear the drums, the bass.. It’s really coming together.
Then it fucken hits me. I open itunes and check. Sure shit. It’s “The Fish (Shindleria Praematurus)” by Yes off the Fragile album.
So much for that. Crap!
