Pride = Crucified?

[Delirium-Zer0]

I do think GEO probably did this by accident. It's an old enough song that it's likely GEO probably heard it ages ago and had the melody in his head for a long time. Tori Amos did the same thing with her song "hey Jupiter"... it sounds JUST like prince's "Purple Rain", and it was a total accident on her part. It happens with songwriters sometimes.

Sometimes a singer WILL write a song and by coincidence it'll sound like another song. The Rolling Stones' "Anybody Seen My Baby" has a melody in the chorus that's exactly the same as k.d. lang's "Constant Craving", and they had never heard the song before... when they heard the resemblance though, they decided to give k.d. lang a writing credit in their album and some of the royalties for the song. Very grown-up thing to do on their part, i think.
