Sometimes very small details (like somebody's eyebrows movements) remind us of somebody entirely different — but for us, the resemblance is striking. This works on so many levels, from music, art, places to people or even simple objects. It's a wonderful process and I enjoy it every time it happens to me, trying to analyze it bit by bit, to see how it works, how my mind jumps so easily from one detail to another :) Thanks for dropping by, Douglas.

There is no way possible anyone could deduce that hymn was based on the hit by the Police. In starting with the Police song, he crafte his new song through a series of metamorphoses to the melody, chord structure and general composition until it really was a new song. However, when he hears the song, he still hears Roxanne every little bit of the way. Very interesting. I suspect we all do that, intentionally or otherwise!

I have the same problems: what’s creativity and how can I shine my light on it? And is that really mine?
How much should I allow myself to be inspired? I value originality, but still…
