Something is awry here...I got some song called New York by Richard Ashcroft.

|

yeah, The riff and the melody between those too songs hauntingly similar
Kind of disapointed at Stevie. |

Wondered if it was just sheer coincidence? Ashcroft released this song in 2000 - and Stevie wrote Illume in 2001 after 911. I mean...do you think she's ever heard of or listened to Richard Ashcroft?
It is quite startling - the songs are very similar.

Richard Ashcroft comes from the same small town I come from "Wigan" here in the UK. I've even met the guy.
He's well known here in the UK and his band the Verve where one of the biggest bands of the 90's. Will probably recognise the song bellow by the Verve. http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...R29FNJVDBAGUAO His solo stuff for example, "new york" has never been as big but hes still well known here. I have no idea of his sucesses elese where, like the states but I predict it's not very big. I'm actually a big fan of his. I've never really read of what modern music Stevie is into so I don't know if shes heard of them. I'm just dissapointed because I really love Illume and wouldn't want to think Stevie just pinched it like that, especailly how she connects such a deep meaning like 9/11 to it. You think it's a coinsidence? |

I'd heard that the two songs were very similar but that's astonishing.

Theres on little differences between the bassline, riff and melody.
It's just disapointing when you think Stevie sat there and wrote it with 9/11 in mind saything things like: http://www.inherownwords.com/illume.htm |

Illume isn't the only thing they ripped of Richard A. Say You Will is very familiar to his song, Cmon People....which I like a lot better.
I'll post the song. Edit: Here it is http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1...G3BVADTPFVPVIB

We'd have to hear a pre-Buckingham demo of "Illume" to know just how much of the vocal melody & basic chord progression was even hers (both of which elements are very unusual for her). To me, it's a case of Fleetwood Mac near-plagiarism, not Stevie Nicks near-plagiarism (although she's not free from blame because she's in Fleetwood Mac & certainly had something to do with the copying). |

Obviously, Lindsey or Mark or or Mick or somebody was listening to the Ashcroft album very adoringly. |

I guess Stevie was just listening to Richard Ashcroft a lot at the time. The melodys not really pinched on that one just the guitar it would seem.
What are peoples opinion of Richard and the Verve here on the Ledge? I personally love them. is he evenwell known in the part of the world you live? His new song is incredible his voice is one of the best male voices I've heard.What you think? http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...J0UFHV8W9ONK05 |

I really don't hear much of SYW on "C'Mon People"....but I will say - I'm really getting turned on to Richard Ashcroft. Nice, pop melodies and very Buckingham-esque in production...
