Miley Cyrus “Flowers” vs “I Will Survive” 😳

Подробнее о видео

So just what *are* the similarities btwn Miley’s “Flowers” (2023) & “I Will Survive” (1978)?

✅ 4 chords
✅ in A minor
✅ ~118 bpm disco beat
✅ breakup empowerment theme
✅ string line melodic “shape”

both are breakup empowerment songs in A minor with roughly 118 bpm 4-on-the-floor disco beats; the first 4 chords are identical (“Survive” grabs a few extra chords from the circle of 5ths [and yes, technically they’re in the counterclockwise “circle of 4ths” direction) with, most notably perhaps, a legato string melody halfway through the chorus with a similar melodic shape. Why doesn’t it matter, legally? Because chord changes, tempos and melodic shapes are not protectable (to a point! [viz “Blurred Lines”]). 💐Anyhoo, on the new One Song episode we discuss the difference between interpolation and intertextuality while digging DEEP into the stems & the stories behind the biggest song of 2023: Miley Cyrus “Flowers” 💐download One Song now wherever you get yr Podcasts!✨
