So.... Chris Young, a "country Artist" has "new" song called Young Love & Saturday Night.... sounds like, I mean exactly like.... riff, chorus melody, groove, to David Bowie's Rebel Rebel.
Copyright violation or licensed and just shamelessly ripped off? Have a listen and let me know what you think. I don't know if it was licensed..... too close to the original to think someone thought it would be fine to release it without the protection of a license.
What do you think?
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
"“Young Love & Saturday Nights” was written by Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, and Josh Thompson. The late (David) Bowie is also credited as a writer on the song. As Thompson explains, the track was “Frasure's brainchild.” “I was honored to be invited into such a unique opportunity,” Thompson says.Aug 2, 2023" (c) American Songwriter
Apparently licensed. My gracious, lack of talent has brought us to " The Estate of ______" songwriters.
The industry will be using Bowie 'inspired' stuff for years to come .. /you heard it here first <grin> //"Everything old is new again" means we are getting old enough to notice .. but not too old to remember
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
This is a good songwriting exercise to use also. Take a familiar melody and write your own lyrics to it. Lots of writers do this actually. I think they did this, found out it works, got permission, listed Bowie as required and there you have it.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
This is such a gray area, now made more difficult by AI.
But this practice of adding your own melody to a chord progression is normal, legal, and old. As mentioned, it's also a great teaching aid. For example, there are lots of tunes using the chords to I've Got Rhythm. More than a few of PG Music's own demo programs, that are themselves copyrighted, are based on the chord progression of a popular song. I recall reading somewhere that a list existed, but I don't know if that's true. Besides, while I could spot some of the jazz or Bossa Nova tunes, I wouldn't have a clue in many other genres, so the person who made such a list would have to be a master of all music.
Now you can have Frank Sinatra sing your song (and the estate is not happy about this). With court cases delving into the nuances of just one song, and musically ignorant juries weighing in, the effort to determine what is a violation of copyright becomes quite a challenge.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
