Something about those opening chord hits… they never fails to excite my ears. Thanks for writing this gem, @EltonJohn and Bernie. Hope y’all like my rendition! 🤘🏻❤️
As a songwriter I used to cringe when I accidentally ripped off a chord progression or something from one of my favorite artists. But now I don't really care.
"Crap, that’s a [artist/band] melody isn't it?” Sure, and they didn't invent it either.
Art isn't made in a vacuum. It's a product of everything its artist has consumed up until that moment.
After all, isn't it the "shared language" that makes our favorite music palatable after all? If I suddenly started speaking in some completely made-up language, I don't think I'd be able to communicate much to you. Same goes for music.
So I'm thinking about spinning up a series called "I ripped off ____" and highlighting the moments that are decidedly unoriginal in my own music.
Big thanks to @FlowPoop for using my song in a video and dropping my link in the description. This is what happens when the Brazilians get ahold of your stuff! 🇺🇸❤️🇧🇷 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSYQ5...

Stay tuned (I think). 🫡❤️
