"Just where I wanna be / Baby just you and me / Staying at home" from Shelter

sounds like the melody for

"Lavender sunset / Silver pink clouds Park Avenue" from Rainbow Eyes

There are people who have taken LSD thousands of times and are as sane as Jeff Foskett. Well, that's a bad example, because Jeff hates Love You and that's INSANE.

Maybe Strange World is influenced by the the last two tracks of REM's cd Automatic For The People:

The use of piano in Strange World has similarities to Nightswimming by REM.

& more obvious:

At the end of the song you'll hear a melodica melody that is also similar to the melodica melody of Find The River by R.E.M.

As I already mentioned, 'Daybreak over the Ocean' is just like 'Bluebirds over the Mountain' loosely based on 'My Bonnie'. But yesterday I noticed that it also has similarities with another Beach Boys song.

Daybreak over the Ocean:

Quote
Long as stars are to shine
Baby you will always have my devotion

Quote
Darlin' if you should ever
Wonder what you should do

Sounds familiar?

Quote
I may not always love you
But as long as there are stars above you
You'll never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

Quote
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me

The synth (?) in Strange World around 2:37 is very similar to the "...and I know she loves me" line in Island Girl.

Shelter: "Do you still ever think of me..." similar to "Will I still joke around..." from "When I Grow Up".

Similar, but not identical.

And that whole chunk of "Shelter" has been haunting me so much the last couple of days.

The organ *blip* from Spring Vacation sounds a lot like that vocal *blip* from Friends. Both mistakes (?), but both very noticeable.

Ah Yes!  You have put me out of my misery on that one. Well spotted.

You can nearly sing "Lookin' At Tomorrow" to the melody of "Think About the Days." Same melody, just a bit different phrasing. Not intentional, I'm sure -- it's a very common melodic pattern.
