Sighhhhh

I just wrote a new song during the new year..

I was really inspired and felt happy with what I was making and I thought I'd show some of it to a friend but then;

He linked me a video of Incubus and their song "Wish you were here"

The similarity was definitely noticeable but I had never heard that song before...

It makes me wonder if all my other songs are like that T_T.

Maybe you could post your songs and we can see the similarity?

Tbh, if you write enough songs, one of them is bound to sound similar to something else.

I feel your pain man.

This happens to me a lot more with melodies than with lyrics though. I'll come up with some sweet music lines only to find out the next day that I just ripped it off.

If only I had written it 5 years earlier.... Sigh.

Oh and Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here is infinitely times better than Incubus'.

oh god, i hate it when that happens, im playing my guitar, come up with some nice melodies, and the whole time im wondering is it mine or just something that rooted itself in my mind somewhere from another song.

And I know what you mean. I'm no song writer, but whenever I try some things on guitar, or am humming something, I never come up with something good because it has always been done =\.

Originality sucks.
