Eric Serra was never credited on the Free & Easy single or the RAINBOW album for the complete & total lifting of the first 35 seconds of this song. This was not a legal thing that HAL did, and I've been angry about it for pretty much forever, as I'm a big fan of Eric Serra's very creative and beautiful work.

But, meh, what can you do. ALOT of people have noticed that the tracks are exactly the same but on two different keys, but nothing was ever done about it. And now it's been eight years, so it's probably water under the bridge if Eric Serra was ever made aware of this. But still. Grrr.

yeah...this is one of those things i've known about and just tried not to think about very much. just like i try not to think about the army of lovers and "crucified."
