I don't mean to sound offensive, but this song has the exact feel as 'Bad' by U2. To the point where the lyrics 'I'm wide awake. I'm not sleeping' are used in this song and in 'Bad' at the very end of both of them. Same type of melody as well. Don't get me wrong I don't mind the song, but this type of song was already mastered by one of the world's most recognizable bands many years ago.
All music is built on copying. Since the beginning of time, music has survived and evolved by being passed along, changed, altered, sometimes in small ways. Many songs written before the "rock" age have no author, or exist under multiple titles/lyrics. Who's to say U2 didn't take elements of "Bad" from someone else? Just because you've pinpointed the source doesn't make these guys any guiltier. Let people build on what they will.
