Friend
Is it just me or does this song sound like You Make Loving Fun?

It's quite possible, I guess, that Chris approximated the chordal style of "You Make" in "Friend," much the way the Master used the dramatic French ouverture chords in minor keys to open various pieces: the Coriolan, Egmont, Creatures of Prometheus & King Stephen overtures & incidental music--over a period of several years. + = ? |

Christine made some reference to "borrowing from her own musical past" on some ITM songs. I'm not sure if she meant Friend or not, though.

actually, she talked about "friend" in a radio interview she did talk about the relationship between it & YMLF. she said something like, "if you're going to plagiarize, you might as well plagiarize yourself!" lemme see if i can dig out my mp3 of it.
edit: i have no idea what happened to my copy of this ... does anyone else have it/know what i'm talking about? Last edited by carrie721; 06-14-2006 at 09:48 PM.. |

Both songs have a clavinet. Chris did mention that similarity in one of her interviews too.

"One album that has stayed with her, though, is Gaucho by Steely Dan. "It sounds like very sexy music to me, much more so than their earlier albums, and every time I listen to it I hear something else in there. Since then they have been plagiarising themselves. But that's OK; I think they've earned the right. If you can't plagiarise yourself, who can you plagiarise?" |

She's right about Steely Dan. Their most recent effort (from a few years back) sounds like Gaucho re-deaux. That's alright with me. I can hear Steely's influence on Christine's ITM all over the place--"Anything is Possible," "Bad Journey," "So Sincere," "You Are," and "Forgiveness" have that west-coast sheen that is sexy--not glossy. And, for what it's worth, "You Make Loving Fun" is the essence of the Gaucho sound three years before Gaucho. Friend's debt to YMLF is interesting because both songs hold up very well on their own. She borrows herself in other places, too. The piano-bass-drum rhythm in "Got a Hold on Me" sounds a bit like "Hold Me." |

Friend is one of my all time favourite Christine songs. If that had been the opener on Say You Will and five more of Chris' songs were on there and three each of Lindsey and Stevie's had been ditched - then we might have had an album! Gail |
