Dear Perryv. Great work...but...and "Foolin' myself"? Thank you.
-
bellissimo!!!!

I wonder what Eric would say if I wrote a song called "All By Myself" and it had the exact same chords/melody as his? HAHAHAHAHA HEY, I'm just BORROWING, ok?
Man, now I need to find this Rachmaninoff concerto and listen from the start and try to reprogram my brain and forget Carmen's deception. :(
-
But I suppose on the other hand, you could thank Eric for exposing people to Rachmaninoff ? But it's still sad that millions thought Eric had written these beautiful chord progression/melodies. :( Many geniuses were copied in the last 3000 years and their copies got all the credit.

There's influence. Then there's ripoff. Influence means you can tell someone was INTO or liked someone b4 them (or even contemporary to) but ripoff is where you take the EXACT music and call it your own. He knew no one would know but a few classical people. The chords AND melody? That's lame. I thought it was only the segment between verse and chorus. wow. i had no idea he took the verse too.

Carmen wasn't the only one to base a big hit off of a classical melody. Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic" was derived from Chopin's "Prelude in C Minor".

shit

ugh, Rachmaninoff never needed words for his music.... my ears are bleeding, but its not like when I had a seizure from classical disco music

This isn't being inspired by Rachmaninoff It's stealing from Rachmaninoff!
