Title: "Dark Blue" by Jack's Mannequin

I think part of this song sounds like "Best Behavior" by V.   :x  who agrees?

ok, personally I love this song by Jack's Mannequin. One of my all time faves! But however Best behavior is in the same note progression as Dark Blue but just in a different key.

But imo, both songs are great.  :)

Off topic, but I love Jack's Mannequin. I saw him in concert last summer and even snagged a picture with Andrew. It was awesome.

I always thought dark blue sounded like white houses in the beginning.

Dark Blue sounds like a lot of things, but I would never compare it to any other song.
they're all different enough for me to not care.

I can see the similarities, I guess. It's never been one of my favorite songs on the CD. I really like "Rescued" and "Into the Airwaves" =D

Haha, that song is a bit much for me.  I don't mind it, but it's not my favorite. Maybe I'm getting too old for those really young sounding songs!

That's exactly what I said 2 years ago! no one replied to it, and I was wondering when anyone else would notice that they are the exact same notes. Too weird....

I just want everyone to know the similarity because there is!

The introduction for Dark Blue and the first few lines for Best Behavior.

are you kidding?
the intro is almost identical except for what I'm assuming is the left hand and that it's in another key I'm guessing
the rest of the song isn't anything like another V song but the intro and where that chord was repeated definitely is
play the first 10 seconds again :)
