How many times have you listened to a track and thought the riff is very similar….we’ve all heard the story about the George Harrison with his song “my sweet lord”, and also the opening from “stairway to heaven” being very similar in structure to another song (which led zeppelin apparently stole from a supporting band) - and also the opening bit to Men at Work’s famous track “down under” being potentially ripped off from the Aussie folk song “kookaburra sits in the old gumtree”……
Well I stumbled across another one that is so damn similar - check this out. The opening riff from The Doors’ epic song “the end” to the track called “aey na Balam” by the artist “arooj aftab” from the album called “bird under water’. Does the riff sound the same to you?
I actually like both “vulture prince” and “bird under water” and consider both to be great albums. She is a great singer and both albums are very atmospheric - and great to listen to late at night.
But that riff from the 3rd song on “bird under water” always gets me. It’s just seems so similar to “the end”. Both are great songs though.
