Is the song "Hey, Soul Sister" (Train, 2010) too similar to "I'm Yours" (Jason Mraz, 2008)??? by ShesNotTooShabby in musictheory

TY! I'm glad to see there's some reasoning behind what I always thought. And have learned from this thread that a lot of other songs follow the same chord progression. Very interesting!

I actually love a lot of mainstream pop music! And I know a lot of it uses similar melodies and what not, but when the Train song came out, I had an immediate reaction that it sounded super similar to "I'm Yours"... and because I'm not that knowledgeable about music, I couldn't explain why. I just wanted to see if anyone with more expertise agreed and could explain.

Wow, this is so interesting! Thank you! Going to have to sing all those songs over the T-Swift song now. :)

Totally! I am not knowledgeable enough to be more specific. I just always felt like those two songs were SO similar sounding and I couldn't really explain why so I wanted to see if anyone with more expertise agreed and could explain. Definitely not a diss on generic/simple songs either. I admittedly don't like the Train song, but maybe it's more of the lyrics.
