Bonfires on the Heath by the Clientele.
It sounds uncannily like something else…almost as if they cribbed the chord changes directly from a different song. Pink Floyd? Steely Dan? There’s something about those guitar chords especially at 0:38, which is highly reminiscent of some other distinctive song.
Anyone have an opinion?
John Lennon
I cant remember the name of the song. “avawa kowa fussy, fussy”
I never knew what he was saying , either.
That damn electric piano sounds like it was taken straight off a Steely Dan track.
The slide guitar does remind me of “Speak to Me” at the beginning of Dark Side, fwiw.
Yes. It’s a combination of that, and Razor Boy by Steely Dan. Hear vibes solo at 0:34 especially. It’s like those two songs got together and had a child.
#9 dream
The vocals were a bit like Lennon or possibly Oasis.
I’ve been working out the chords and it seems like the first 38 seconds are conventional V-ii in D major, i.e. A-Em-A-Em etc., but the chord at 0:38 is Dm, a brief modulation into another key, then back to the Em-A-Em.
Reminds me of “Listen” by Tears For Fears, or Pink Floyd, as you say.
Oh yeah - and a lot like Wicked Games by Chris Isaak, also.
Seconded. The slide, not the song as such, reminds me also of “Remember A Day”. BTW, not a bad song (the song from the OP).
