Please help...where is this piano riff nicked from
Posted by Andy Lynes on 24 October 2008 - 9:18am.
This is driving me quietly nuts and I know there is someone out in Wordland that can help. The piano phrase and melody on the new Razorlight single is hauntingly familiar but I just can't place it, any ideas?

Dunno about the piano part
but he's definitely nicked the pearls and earrings from his mum's jewelery box....naughty!
For some reason
I'm reminded of the 'Horse With No Name'. Despite having not heard that particular song in yonks.
Yes I hear that too
Gave up after a minute but sounds like an 80s MOR ballad, something that Alan Parsons Project or Mike and the Mechanics might have done and yes what someone else said, Foreigner.
Me Too
I'd never heard this band until now. well done me. All good things must come to an end Hope i can survive another 45 years.
...and I'm sure she told him
...and I'm sure she told him never to play with matches. Some one's going to bed early without any supper.
That's terrible
When did 'indie' records start sounding like Foreigner?
It also reminds me a bit of Chris de Burgh's A Spaceman Came Travelling.
Fraser...
I'm assuming you meant to put the word 'landfill' between 'did' and 'indie'.
E/E/D/A
One of the stockest of all the stock chord progressions. Here it is in one of its best-known outings, but there are dozens more:
Now play the Razorlight again and sing "Well I told you once and I told you twice" over it. See?
playaway as sung by brian
playaway
as sung by brian cant?
nobody else gets a whiff
of some Tori Amos tune in there, do they?
*watches tumbleweed roll by*
nope? Just me then...
Sir Nod
The opening melody bears a striking similarity to this...
Smackable
Why wasn't this git included in the list of annoying singers? He has been quoted as being immensely proud of the line 'She lives on disillusion road' - do you see what he did there?
This is the second time I've heard this, I don't ever want to hear it again ('spose I'll have to avoid R2 for the foreseeable future).
I know it's barrel in fish style, but the lyrics really are very silly indeed - why is 'love the sin you swallow'?
OK, I've got it
The song I was thinking of, incredibly, is this...
sort of similar, isn't it?
At least that bloke from Razorlite
has stopped wearing that stupid hat.
God, I hate them. It's not that their music is all that bad, but that dick of a frontman seems to think he is some sort of musical messiah.
I predict we will hear no more from them after this album
can I just say...
...Razorlite are shite?
