You know, every day I hear from people [Eb] saying a song they heard [C] reminds them of another [G] song.
Are the similarities coincidental [E] or intentional?
Well, [B] who's to say?
Let's take a listen to a couple of musical distant cousins suggested by Mark [G] Griffiths.
First up, have a listen [E] to a bit of this one from [B] Spirit called Taurus.
