Not a bad song. But I frankly don't know what to say here as without the piano intro which doesn't fit since there's no other piano in the song - this song starts off exactly like our song "Borderline" and then uses our intro over and over.....coincidence I imagine and would hope - but weird nonetheless.....just saying....

Josie Dear,


At first read I thought you might be joking. Then I realized that you were indeed serious. You are actually accusing me of plagiarizing your song?


Not that such a libelous accusation deserves a response, but in the interest of preserving my good name in this community, I cannot let this stand.


Firstly, I am not in the habit of plagiarism, but if I were, it would most certainly not be from a song of the caliber of “Borderline” (which, by the way, I never heard until you linked to it in your scurrilous accusation).


Secondly, with thousands of people using a limited number of BIAB styles, one would expect some occasional overlap. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of theory, meter and prosody would know that.


Thirdly, I have been writing music for four decades, and have never found the need to steal from anyone.


“Frankly”, for someone who doesn't ' know what to say here', you have done a good job of slandering my good name while at the same time making yourself appear rather delusional and petty.


I will gladly accept your apology when it is forthcoming.


"Just saying".


p.s. I do apologize for using the terms “frankly” and “just saying”, as you probably have copyrighted them.

Dyslectics Untie!
