That expression : imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it might be true but it is the kind of flattery that robs you. but what really really hurts and i know i am speaking for a lot of people here, video directors, musicians, photographers and so on, is when a lifetime of work get’s copied in 5 minutes with absolutely no guilt. I think it is really criminal, maybe this lord of the rings incident is not the best example, but my "style" or my voice is my life’s work, people going on the net and nicking my songs off it bothers me but not really, at least it is my work, unchanged and people know that it is me. i have last few years been approached by a lot of film people and people making commercials, also a lot of my friends, for example the video directors, we get asked for our "flavour" and if we say no they just go around and artificially create our "style" with some calculated moves. īut anyway : the point of the story above is that lord of the rings people find it nothing wrong of copying people. film music today is too much of a megamix, i think it is better if the same person does a whole film and gives all of her/him to it. since "play dead" i decided to never do just one song so i have always passed offers like that on. I am not pissed off because i didn’t get to sing the song. Then after the birth they said they weren’t happy with the results and asked me please if i could save them, they could put the deadline back to october 30th ( my baby was born on the 3rd ) i told them my baby was priority and i was told they went back and chose one of the A or B or C.
I was asked to write the song a month before thew birth of my daughter, when i turned it down because i was too pregnant they said fair enough and got another writer then approached me again said they had a song and lyric in my style, they understood i didn’t have time to write it but if i could sing it, i thought it was a little noughty but asked them to send me the notes and the lyrics since i was curious what is "my style" then had to tell them it was 3 days until my baby was due and i couldn’t focus on anything else they then said they were going to ask "björk-kinda singers" and told me they got 3 singers, they didn’t tell me the names but say A,B and C.
