Nickelback and Gordon Lightfoot
This is kind of a piddly thing to post a thread about, but I was just curious:
Has anyone else noticed the use of the line "just like a paperback novel" in both Gordon Lightfoot's "If you could read my mind" and Nickelback's "Someday?" Even the rhythm of the words is the same in both songs.
I was just wondering if Nickelback was paying homage with this or if they just plain stole it without even a nod in Mr. Lightfoot's direction. Anybody know?
