Thanks for the link, that's a beautiful piece of music
 Definately, there's very similar parts to both melodies. Might be coincidence, might not. Who knows  The beginning of FF8's Eyes on Me chorus appears to have been lifted straight from the multiple occurances of that motif in the Adagio of Rachmaninoff's 2nd Symphony, as well as the general orchestration that FF8 took. Is this coincidence or intentional? No idea either, but as music has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, eventually musical ideas tend to recycle themselves with or without the intention of the composer. The MGS theme seems to be much more than coincidence though. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

 And wow, that King's Row track does sound almost entirely similar! Regarding Holst's Planets in general, I'd have to say it's probably the most commonly stolen-from set of pieces in Hollywood  Could have a field day with it. And relating back to games, the Jupiter movement has a theme in it that's incredibly similar to Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Lost Woods.There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Never said that particularily was stolen, just happened to be in the wrong context from what I mentioned beforehand. But when I heard Jupiter performed live, that's all I could think of. But good of you to point out the differences
Contour goes a long way towards intent, which is similar in both pieces but not exact. And definately agreed that they're not extremely similar (as I falsely said in the original post..), but as the piece continues it launches into a section that is very Zelda-esque to my ears (Attached) Again I'm not talking about ripping anyone off, but just similarities in my personal vocabulary of music. I probably shouldn't have mentioned it in the same context as the rest of the melodies called out here.This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
