Nice shameless plug, guy.

Sounds like you’ve got a crush on her. Good for you, that’s sweet. However, it pains me to think you compose and have played music a while and can’t hear the Radiohead. Try listening again. Pay attention to the rhythm of the words. Particularly the verses. I actually had to check that they were different to Thom Yorke’s lyrics. Half the words even sound the same and I first thought this was a mediocre cover.

Yes, mediocre.

I’m not saying it’s a definite rip-off. For all I know she has never heard Jigsaws Falling Into Place. But then this is an uncanny likeness.

You’re all kidding, right? The best parts of this song are a direct rip-off of Radiohead’s Jigsaws Falling into Place, and what’s left is very average 90s guitar rock. There’s nothing new in any of this.
