Hearing other songs in her songs

Post by Puddlejumper »

I've just noticed a couple things that I thought I'd share.
The starting drum beat to Glorious Land is remarkably similar to Eddie Cochran's summertime blues (from which she also sampled the "Take my problem to the UN" lyric for the song The Words That Maketh Murder). Kind of funny considering how different these songs are.
Also have recently been noticing that the start of All and Everyone is a lot like the start of Neil Young's Expecting to Fly.
Just some stuff to check out. Anyone notice anything else?

Glorious Land samples a Police song so I guess I hear that when I listen to it. Last Living Rose reminds me of Good Fortune. Nightingale is obviously All & Everyone part deux; can't say I think of another artist when listening to this album.

at the first listen to All&Everyone I thought about "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" - Procol Harum

It's true, I'd already thought on Good Fortune listening this song and The Words that Maketh Murder also. Some sound passages in Let England Shake album (unlike White Chalk), seem to touch some of her roots and previous work (a kind of Man Size guitar in the begining of Last Living Rose, as well as a kind of 97 degrees guitar in the first part of In The Dark Places, for example).

The beginning of "On Battleship Hill" always reminds me of the beginning of The Doors "Riders on the Storm", percussion wise.

England reminds me of Grow Grow Grow live, the autoharp part.
and The Words That Maketh Murder reminds me of -cringe- The Bird Is The Word :lol: only a little though. :)
