Why they sound alike

  • Chorus Vocal Melody
  • Chord Progression

The choruses to One Direction's "You & I" (released April 15, 2014) and Canadian rocker Bryan Adams' '80s ballad Heaven (released April 9, 1985) contain similar vocal melodies and chord progressions. Both songs start with the same relative chord structure: IV-V-vi-I-IV or 4-5-minor6-1-4, keys are only a half-step apart (Heaven: C, You & I: C#), and both have diatonic melodies that ascend with the first three chords (Heaven: 1-1-1-2-2-3-3-3-4-5-5-5-4-3-1; You & I: 1-2-3-3-3-3-3-5-1-1-6). Compare the lines, Heaven: "Baby you're all that I want/When you're lying here in my arms", and You & I: "You and I/We don't wanna be like them"., You & I (:56) VS Heaven (:51)

Heaven lyrics

Bryan Adams

Oh, thinkin' about our younger years There was only you and me We were young and wild and free Now nothin' can take you away from me We've been down that road before But that's over now You keep me comin' back for more Baby, you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in Heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in Heaven Oh, once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around Bring you up when you're feelin' down Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me Oh, there's lots that I could say But just hold me now Cause our love will light the way And baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm finding it hard to believe We're in Heaven Yeah, love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in Heaven, yeah I've been waitin' for so long For somethin' to arrive For love to come along Now our dreams are comin' true Through the good times and the bad Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you And baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in Heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in Heaven, Heaven, woah You're all that I want You're all that I need
