Fran,
Apparently this was released on 24 czerwca 2008,which is-if the dictonary is not lying-24 June 2008.
I knew our Travis boys wouldn't steal anything from anybody 8-) hehe..
You're right, 24 czerwca is 24 June, but it's date of the clip release :P I finnaly found date of release the song - 18 June 2008 :)
And of course Travis haven't steal anything! ;D |

Fran wrote: That's amazing!! However, the melody to Before You Were Young was written in 2003 when I was writing for 12 Mems but could never get the words. The words were written last december.
Checking shows it went on the EMI Poland youtube site in July. Before You Were Young was posted on youtube in February this year.
I think it's way too close to be coincidence also.
Thanks for flagging this. I will ask our publishers to look into it.
ooooh scandal! |

Wow! That is crazy! Those Poles totally copied "Before You Were Young." Way too similar to just be a coincidence.

| Seriously though this is a total rip off. Nothing wrong with ripping off a few chords or a line from a song as long as you build something original aroun d it and make it personal. Maybe they were hoping that this track wouldn't make the album which was never going to happen. |

:O These guys are hacks! Like mentioned above, it's one thing to take a few chords or a beat if you expand upon it and make it your own song, but to totally copy like that is just plain wrong. They shouldn't be getting attention, fame and money for it. Does anyone know if they're a popular band in Poland? My boyfriend Michal is Polish and usually keeps me up to date on all the cool Polish acts, but I don't ever recall hearing about them.

Good grief, these losers are complete rip-off merchants.
I know imitation's the sincerest form of flattery blah blah, but seriously, can't they think of their own songs? You know it's probably very good someone's pointed this out because obviously the guys were unaware of it and hopefully these Polish guys will find themselves being asked a few questions. They seem to be repeat offenders! |

They're very popular. Everybody here know about them. I've heard both song mentioned here and I'm listening to radio REALLY rarely. |
