Tamaryn vs. Verve

There was something so familiarly primal about Tamaryn‘s ‘Mild
Confusion’ when I first heard it. I thought nothing of it for a year
or two. Today, for the first time, I played it on my giant speakers
and heard (the) Verve‘s ‘Slide Away’. That’ll explain the
animal instinct. Rowr.

Jet vs. the Verve

Mere words cannot express how agonising it is to put this up.

 

It’s bad enough one of the bands is Jet. We already knew they’d taken the intro to ‘Look What You’ve Done’ from Oasis’ ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ which in turn was happily mooched from Lennon‘s ‘Imagine’ – I’m not even going into that.

But when it came on mutedly at a cafe, and I heard the launch of the chorus, I found myself singing along to it – only I wasn’t singing the song that was playing, I was singing a song by the Verve called ‘Sonnet.’

 

I haven’t found anyone else on the internets who’s noticed the similarity, but be warned, if I get any sort of flak on this or if my love for the Verve is called into question I will track you down and cut off your ears. It was traumatic enough to have to piece this together. I edited the audio for ‘Sonnet’ solely by sight. I can’t bear to listen to a Verve song if I can’t hear it in its most uninterrupted, crystalline form.

 

This hurts.
