Edit: I've just seen the Sayonara Cynaera thread on the main forum. This is just so, so sad. She was a distinctive personality, made great comments, wore her heart on her sleeve, and an integral part of the RP community.
 
Fred, agreed in spades.
She was worth 10 of the self-proclaimed voices of authority. I, too, will miss her.

I was thinking the same thing!  This song doesn't really blow air up my skirt, but it's still pleasant. Maybe with a few more listens, it'll hit me.  For now, it just fwufffs me with a feather.

Can't say I agree with the sentiment, but I love the metaphor.

Glad I gave it a chance... Too young/wordy/clever at start... but it gets some Ennio Marconne going and flows better.

Great song.

Echoes of a few Beatles songs? Maybe, but completely new and, besides, the Beatles were fairly influential. Their echoes are everywhere if you're listening for them.

This was really abrasive after James Yuill. If I could hear it in a different set, maybe I'd like it more. Not thrilled with it right now...

I think it's an obvious homage, besides, John Lennon didn't invent variations on D Minor.
 
I've always thought D minor was the saddest of keys.

I thought John based "Because" on some of the chords (in reverse) from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (which is in C# minor).  Seems like people are pretty quick to conclude theft or plagiarism when the true answer may be, as Proclivities points out, simple influence, paying tribute, variations on a theme, sampling, or even pure coincidence.  Contrary to the errant legal decision, for example, George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" did not plagiarize "He's So Fine," even if their respective verses used the same three chords.

 
I thought the legal decision was based on the melody.  You can't copyright chord progressions from what I understand, but melodies, yes.  I felt bad for George as I think he said he was guilty of "unconscious (subconscious?) plagiarisim."  I'm sure it was the last thing on his mind when we wrote the tribute to the deities.
