10 I Die For You Today inspiration ?

Wonder if Marian got some inspiration from the song “Dance To Dance” by the band Hands Of Love to the song “I Die For You Today”?

Or What do you think

The songs look like each other indeed, but I dont know if Marian got inspiration from this or maybe it was just by chance. You should ask Marian

Sounds like a strange mixture of Modern Talking and Alphaville ... OMG!

But the similarity is really stunning.


G - O! Let's go!

There is indeed some similarity. Just like the rhythm line in "Heaven on Earth" and "Lady in Red". But, as wise old King Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun". Suppose there must be repetition at some point, with or without inspriation.

It's no secret AV get their inspiration from various existing sources. I remember my sister during her piano lessons back then, she was playing the Afternoons In Utopia tune so I scratched my head :) The Flame tune sounded also familar to me the 1st I came to hear it, but I can't put the finger on the original one, or, as I once posted, a short bit of Soul Messiah is entirely a copy/paste from Pink Floyd (Waiting For The Worms to come).
Still, no one can "Bend It Like Marian" :)

This track could easily be an inspiration for making 'I Die For You Today'.....I'll say, well spotted Peter!

Hmmm, I don't think so, but let's ask Marian.
