I was perusing my reader a few minutes ago and saw this video via Worship Trench.

Isn’t it amazing how similar the tunes are?

My takeway: when you’re writing music, try as you may to be original, there’s always another song out there that sounds like what you’ve come up with. The challenge then, is to try and make something fresh with what’s been done before. Because, inevitably, a song I write will sound like something from some point in history. The killer is if anyone else notices the similarities.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. -Solomon (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
