I have this album by the Hungarian group Color. It's a very good album. Anyways, this is a bonus track that was on the cd. I could not place the melody but for the longest time I was thinking 'I know this melody, I know this melody'. The other day I was listening to "Once Again" in 1971 by BJH and it struck me when I heard Galadriel does anyone else hear the similarity? Just curious if it's just me who's insane?

Hi Progbaby, my opinion (for what it's worth...) is that you are perfectly sane  . They definitely ...erm borrowed the melody from Galadriel. BTW, there are other snippets of the song (the intro for instance) that remind me of other songs I can't quite identify, probably something from BJH themselves of from Moddy Blues. But then maybe it's just my imagination... |

Yeah, the similarity to 'Galadriel' is so obvious that John Lees should be credited! And I also agree with paulindigo that there are moments reminding of something else familiar too. The opening really has something close to The Moody Blues, though I can't quite figure out what, and the melody in 1:15 to 1:39 borrows closely from the mid-section of 'Robbery, Assault and Battery' (GENESIS, A Trick of the Tail). This was very interesting, progbaby! |
