Listen to the first 2 seconds of Travis' 'I Forget My Name' and then ask yourself where Snow Patrol got the opening for Chasing Cars from!
Suspicious. Very suspicious... |

Oh my god!
I'm a little bit shocked right now :P
I love that song >_<°
And I've never heard I forget my name before now.
So... Yeah, I'm shocked.

:O Thieeeeeves!!! They think they can get away with it just cuz it's a B-Side! HA! I think NOT!
You know what though...it's not like it's some complex arrangement. Pretty easy to copy that without even realizing it. It's kinda basic :/ lol. |

Travis? Basic? Nooooooo, you're mistaken
As Fran once said "David Gilmour (Pink Floyd guitarist legend type person) can't even work out our chops!" hehe
Deceptively simple is the trick to all the best songs, believe me! |

| All joking aside. I never liked "Chasing Cars." It's like the only Snow Partol song Detroit radio plays and every time it comes on I talk to my radio and say "Hellooo..play 'Chocolate' or 'Run'...sooo much BETTER!" |

Don't get me wrong, i don't mind Snow Patrol (local band and all- and yer man Lightbody likes MY music, so he's cool)- was just a wee joke :)
Nikki's right, Chasing Cars is a bit overplayed. I really like Chocolate though. The song. Not the stuff. Well, the stuff too! |

I'm not saying every Travis song is basic. Heck no! I'm saying the opening lil ditty to the two songs in question is basic and could easily be copied without even knowing it.
I know whatcha mean about the best songs being simple though. Sometimes I'll hear an early Beatles song and think "why didn't anyone do this before? It seems so simple!" |

It's true. People try and build so much into songs, and if you strip it down its far better. Although i was watching a documentary about the Queen album 'A Night At The Opera' the other night (one of my favourite albums btw) and it's amazing how much they layered their music. There's one of the songs, Good Company i think it is, and Brian May has created like a brass jazz band sort of sound by layering all these different guitar parts over the top of each other- it was incredible when you hear just that without all the other instruments. So i guess it works both ways. It takes a genius to layer stuff properly without it sounding jumbled- Queen being one of them (earlier Queen, none of that 80s synth stuff please), and Brian Wilson being another. Then again, keeping it simple is genius too- The Beatles being a prime example, and Travis probably being our favourite example ;) |
