Title: Little Bird and Child is Father Post by: mike moseley on January 17, 2017, 05:47:33 AM Musicologists - is all of little bird based on CIFOTM or just part of it..? I mean the chords rather than the arrangement..?
I can hum some of LB over sections of CIFOTM but it could be coincidence. I'm really just wondering if the LB melodies CIFOTM are the original CIFOTM melodies. Also lyrically: I wonder if the 'little bird' lyric started out as 'little child'..? Title: Re: Little Bird and Child is Father Post by: JK on January 17, 2017, 08:09:13 AM Hi Mike,
Before the real musicologists chime in, I'd say it's just the chorus (the uncredited Brian part) of "Bird" that recycles the chords of "Child". I also found this. I don't know if it's relevant: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=printpage;topic=16819.0 |
