My friend occasionally sends me songs he likes, and one time he sent me a song that nearly made me spit out my tea because it had 95% the exact same opening melody of a song I wrote, even down to the instruments. Unfortunately for me, their song was made first.
at least in the US copyright allows for identical but independent creations, inventions, etc, to not infringe on each other. There are actually multiple examples of identical inventions that happened simultaneously by 2 different inventors. Nicolai Tesla invented multiple things simultaneously with other inventors for example.
@@QuikVidGuy It was not a song I knew. I'm sure I wouldn't have almost spat out my drink if I've heard it before. Edit: in fact, literally just today I was going through old files for a trip through memory lane, and I realized I had the work-in-progress mp3 file literally 7 days before the other song was uploaded. You've coincidentally replied to me on the day I've realized I was first all along.
00:03:49 Love it when he starts saying "You'll end up with something that was done before", and you can almost hear the start of The Legend of Zelda Theme.
this is why video game music is so much more liberating, more genre[s] to play with and your odds of running into something someone has done is much lower.
I really felt this one, because I accidentally managed to write the melody for the Plants vs. Zombies Final Boss when trying to make my own music. I didn’t even know until my friend heard it, half-recognized it, and actively hunted it down within the next two minutes. Was funny as shit how fast he found it though.
@@matticawood hello....I already mentioned you in another comment but I thought I should do it again so you don't miss the videos I mentioned in another comment 🙂🙂
I wrote this really nice acoustic guitar riff that I planned to do something with, then I realized it could easily be considered a rip off of Wanted Dead or Alive by BonJovi. Mine involved more fingerpicking and isn’t exactly the same, and I could legally use it but when I realized I was in fact somehow influenced by that song (even though I don’t listen to) I lost my creative power in it. Stuff happens.
@@ipanesm Of course I’d heard the song many times before then, it was being played everywhere at the time. What I meant was that I wasn't a Bonjovi fan and didn't intentionally listen to them but I do think it's possible that guitar riff got into my head.
There's a video on RUclips of Deadmouse trying to come up with something new and he accidentally recreated sandstorm. The laughter that he has is hilarious when he realizes it
Beth Hart said in an interview, that was posted on RUclips, that she was writing songs while listening to Taylor Swift and ended up writing Taylor Swift like songs so she had to dump it all and start over.
There's a video up on RUclips that adds 25 more songs to the repertoire, totaling 72. The entire song list is in the comments of that video. (Just search up 4 Chords - 72 Songs)
Happens in classical music too. To some extent. You can hear snippets from Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals in Danse Macabre. Even Mozart plagiarized his own music on occasion.
A composer plagiarising their own idea? Isn’t plagiarism the theft of an idea? If Mozart composed music A and made music B which sounds the same, isn’t that just repetition and not plagiarism? I’m kinda confused on how this works ngl
Relatable, once i composed a waltz in d major that i said that its copied 10% from Strauss II, but as it turns out, it was entirely based on Strauss, so yea i removed it
@@matticawood Oh? Well i reccomend if someone accidently write songs that already exist, they can like make sme variations and then title it "[number] Variation[s] on a theme of [composer name ]
I was messing around on the piano the other day (am a brand newbie) and I played this catchy 7-8 note tune, I kept repeating it then eventually wrote it down. I was so giddy that I had made up such a catchy cute tune until I flipped through an old piano book I had occasionally glanced at in the past and found that I had composed......the first notes of....Love me Tender by Elvis!!!😂 🤦🏻♀️
My buddy came into my dorm room with his guitar excited. He had heard a song Ina dream which he then enthusiastically demonstrated. It was the theme to "the Heights" (talk to an angel) I watched the heartbreak in his eyes. lol
I'm pretty sure its a combination skit bringing light to the fact that original music isn't as easy as people think it is as music has been around for centuries so people are bound to have something sound similar to something already created
A little more than 20 years ago a few friends and I got together once or twice a week to play just for fun. One night we made up this song in which we threw in a pseudo-Celtic-style break. We recorded it just to have 'cuz we thought it was kind of cool. A week later the guitarist showed up with a CD by a jazz guitarist - damned if I can remember who it was - that a friend had pulled out when he played our tune for him. It had a song with a break in the middle that was identical to ours; same key, same chords, same melody, same tempo and even the same instrumentation, including a bodhran. Initially we were a little pissed off, but pretty quickly all we could do was laugh.
Greetings my friend Matthew!!....You are the right person to make this insane reaction video and give us your opinion about this insane singer...In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just it was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coachs, singers, musicians, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because your channel will explode with an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....ruclips.net/video/bDX3FhmyNac/видео.html
I love that you put in that Ed Sheeran quote. It's good to note as well that he said that in a video explaining how he was getting sued for supposedly plagerising another song with his "Shape of you" simply cause the chord progression in the chorus sounds similar.
Billy Corgan said in an interview that the song Stand Inside Your Love was the easiest song he’d ever written. From idea to recorded was roughly 36 hours. But it came so easily that for over a year, he was waiting for someone to tell him who he stole it from. Then they never did and he was still baffled by how easy it was to write.
Piano features in My music heavily, I love its sound however everything I do is purely bassed on feeling and random ideas as I have never bothered to learn how to play anyone else's music. To play someone else music this makes you a musician but not a composer and songwriter. I only play My own ideas.
It reminds me how Final Fantasy 15 Leviatan theme had full segment from Skyrim main theme. I literally could sing to it. This one felt really on purpose tho
The mind remembers even songs you just heard for a minute on the radio from years ago. With all the songs running around and sounding the same it's no wonder . We need to get back to metal to rejuvenate the music cene
I was messing around with my guitar and I thought I created a new rift but I figured out that I just made a more dramatic version of the sweet child o mine rift
"If you're just playing around with chords" Accidentally plays the Zelda Overworld theme. "You're going to come up with chords that have come up somewhere before". You're not wrong!
I'm not a musician, but sometimes I make awesome completely original music in my head and then it morphs into something that already exists and I'm unable to imagine it being anything else. Any attemot to go back and keep it original just fails once link has been made.
My secret to writing music is make it so bad that no one would ever copy it past or future XD.
That’s an excellent strategy 😂
Original: I'm so smart.
Covers: Hold on there buddy.
Hehe that is also my strategy... cause i have no idea what i am doing tbh xD
I’m afraid many artists today are onto your strategy, and it is working
Jazz?

oh thank goodness i'm not the only one that heard that
@Forward55 zero hours, three minutes, and fourty nine seconds
Mm
You said the retitling was your favorite part and then cut out the new words for Hotel California. "Welcome to the L.A. bed and breakfast"
I also got mad at that
That was the part that I had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard to hear the next part.
Daniel thrasher is hilarious
He is! He has some classics! 😊
Yes
Indeed my man
Yip
/slowly turning insane
I remember I was composing once and I ended up writing my own national anthem into my melody. Feels bad man
Nice blixir pfp
how does that even happen
@@sunshei. I was just putting chords together then I looked at the last three bars I did and it was part of the national anthem
@@emeraldnickel thats so odd!

with how finite chords and durations i think it bounds to happen far sooner than latter.
3:50 funniest thing is those are chords from the zelda theme
he took out my favorite part. WELCOME TO THE L.A. BED AND BREAKFAST
this channel is a gem. Beautiful playing too!
Thank you! 😊
@@matticawood hello....I already mentioned you in another comment but I thought I should do it again so you don't miss the videos I mentioned in another comment 🙂🙂
A hilarious take on a surprisingly widespread problem. Great reaction video, and it's awesome you're almost at 8K already!

If you didn't listen to it then you weren't influenced by it.
(But how did you realize if you hadnt heard it?)

I've been following Daniel's channel for years and I finally see someone showing some recognition for his genius videos.
Bravo.

3:44 funnily enough right there he plays the chords of the main theme of the legend of zelda
The intro to I Kissed A Girl has the same chord progression to one of the songs in my brother's high school band back in the day.
Mate I think you'd love the Four Cord Song by The Axis of Awesome. Fantastic piece about how almost every pop hit uses the same four cords

@@CrimsonDevil_Rias nice I’ll look it up right now
The worst part is when you play a song for a couple weeks, and then you change things up and then realize its something you know already 😂

nice pfp!
@@emo_animator0 haha, you too 😂
The whole series he did comes from one video when he was messing around and accidently wrote the theme for The Office.
The 'Let it Go' part made me laugh so hard! That's the only song I truly recoginized, other than 'Don't Stop Believing'.
3:50 these chords sound like the main theme from The Legend of Zelda
The hard part about making music, is the originality
I was messing around on the piano the other day (am a brand newbie) and I played this catchy 7-8 note tune, I kept repeating it then eventually wrote it down. I was so giddy that I had made up such a catchy cute tune until I flipped through an old piano book I had occasionally glanced at in the past and found that I had composed......the first notes of....Love me Tender by Elvis!!!😂 🤦🏻♀️
3:26 He should look at Daniel Thrasher's "When you learn a riff and put it in everything."
Thanks for explaining how one identifies those music pieces, that was quite nice to common folk like me who know nothing about music :)
Matt is so cool and underrated but more on the cool side.
Thank you 😊
Daniel thrasher has a video about adding a jazzy part to every song.
Would love if you reacted to the other ones! They have great jokes in all of them
reacts videos are incredible.
They capitalize on other people's work, gloriously I might add.
Laziness and ineptitude, modern youtube ethos

It's a crime you didn't react to more of his series.
Copy 1 person, and you're a thief.
Copy 10 people, and you're inspired.
Copy 100 people, and you're original.
Loved the reaction! And yeah Daniel is hilarious here 😂
I'd love to see you react to the rest of the videos from this series of his!
4:24 4 cords you say…. Hmmmm heard that before 😜
Thanks so much for posting this!
Him: You're just playing with chords....
Me: are those the opening chords for the legend of zelda theme?
The last song is the funniest one. You completely know what it is as soon as he starts, just from the rhythm

Matt is such a legend!
Agree with you on the jazz solos lol!!
Daniel is soo funny but with you soo enjoyable keep up the good one day you will hit a million
Anyways i think at least he wrote variation for those songs
You should react to all of his accidentally writing songs it’s great.
You should totally react to another of his vids "When you learn a riff and put it in everything"
I love that Daniel is doing a live tour.
Matt is such a legend
Amazing video ever! Pretty interesting to see a pianist react to a Daniel Thrasher video!
I thought I came up with a rare incidental riff… it was Time Spent in Los Angelos
Ed Sheeran knows what's up, he had to pay royalties in a lot of the songs he wrote 🤣🤣🤣
Yall should check out trouble with the curve. Another great clint eastwood film
YOU MISSED THE "WELCOME TO THE L.A. BED AND BREAKFAST"!!!
There was that four chords song by Axis of Awesome
Ah, the CVP-089. Great piano.
You cut your reaction to the best part! "Welcome to the LA Bed & Breakfast..."
Hello good sir. You are funny and entertaining. I sub. Another piano man added to my list. 👑
You should react to part 2 of it
It reminds me how Final Fantasy 15 Leviatan theme had full segment from Skyrim main theme. I literally could sing to it. This one felt really on purpose tho
Daniel and Matt are the bestest!
Yeah, I recently privated my song, as if you slow it down, it sounds eerily similar to, "hymn it the sea"
Lovin the shirt, I have one exactly like that one
Frozen with a plant vs zombie in the end
Should include it in every song… lol has he seen the one where you finally learn a riff and put it everywhere? 😂😂
The mind remembers even songs you just heard for a minute on the radio from years ago. With all the songs running around and sounding the same it's no wonder . We need to get back to metal to rejuvenate the music cene

I was so expecting a Rush E towards the end.
You skipped over the best joke, “Hotel California” became “Welcome to the LA Bed and bekfast”😂
I love the LA bed and breakfast. ^.^
For those who have seen the original video, welcome to the LA bed and breakfast
And this is why Indian classical music never gets old lol (literally).
Aw you cut out the best part of the Hotel California one where Daniel quietly sings "Welcome to the L.A. Bed and Breakfast"
Jazz solos for everyone!
Have you reacted to "4 chord song" cause you should if you havent!
I was messing around with my guitar and I thought I created a new rift but I figured out that I just made a more dramatic version of the sweet child o mine rift
I don't understand any of the words you are saying about music. But I do like the analysis qwq
You should react to the rest of these videos
That skit is a good parody of the mediocre copyright lawsuits in the music industry.
Will you ever react to the other 5 parts?
*insert RobP's rant about how everything is just Pachelbel's Canon in D*
"If you're just playing around with chords" Accidentally plays the Zelda Overworld theme. "You're going to come up with chords that have come up somewhere before". You're not wrong!
The basslines i write sound a lot like other ones, but other than that i rarely run into that issue
I was sad when he skipped the “Welcome to the LA bed and breakfast”
@Matthew Cawood Can you react to part 6 of that series?
A little bit sad that you skipped over the part of "Hotel California" where he sings:"Welcome to the LA Bed and Breakfast"🤣.
