Did they rip off Alan Parsons?
I'm certainly no fan of 'new country', but Lady Antebellum has been getting a lot of accolades of late. However, parts of this recent hit song appears to have borrowed its melody from Alan Parsons' 'I Can Read Your Mind'. If you don't want to hear the entire song, move ahead to about 1:07 and you will hear that familiar melody.

5 notes? Did you actually hear the song?

I'm guessing she ripped it off; however, 5 notes in a different context is not a copyright violation.
It's that whole 'I am the eye in the sky, looking at yooooooou, I can read your mind...."
Sound like a blatant ripoff.
Why do we have to categorize everything?

BTW, the video doesn't play. I get a message that says, "this video is private".
There are so many genres and sub-genres that it's getting maddening and I can't keep track of all of them.
As for the video, not sure why it won't work. I clicked on it and it played just fine, but I just went to you tube and embedded it again.
