I’ve just made an interesting discovery, or that’s what I think.

The following song was made by an Anatolian rock band named “Kardaslar,” The Borthers, in the 70s. As soon as I heard the intro, I felt like I heard it before, but I had not. So what was it then???

It was one of the most famous, and quite nice indeed, songs from the 2000s: Californication by Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

I am not saying that they stole it, but the similarity between the intro of the Turkish song and the base melody of Californication is mind-blowing.

Check it out.

Here is the link to the Turkish song. Listen to the intro.

Then listen to Californication.

What do you think?

Edit: Actually, Three Doors Down’s Kryptonite resembles even more.

About me

by yasir yilmaz. I am a history Ph.D student at Purdue, a loyal music listener, a non-drinker inebriated with music, poetry reader. On this site you'll listen to songs telling my own story. I concentrate on depictions of melancholy - not joy - because of the simple fact that narrating the bittersweet necessitates profounder artistic skills. That is, if you are listening to the right sad song you are listening a better song, a more tasteful one artistically.
write me anything. especially if you have any song or band recomendation of americana, indie folk, singer-songwriters, baroque, violin, melodic heavy metal...
