yeah i feel like the songs are similar (especially because they have the same end rhymes [weirdo, manifesto]), it makes it feel unintentionally inspired. But there is no way creep constitutes more than 40% of that song, if that.

but using similar chords and progression is not plagiarism
it violates copyright law if it's considered to be unique enough. Yes G C Em D would not constitute an infringement, but something they consider to be a unique product of that artist would

She will also get publicity, good and bad. People will want to hear Get free and will notice how superior it is...

They're probably just sour that Get Free is a better song with better lyrics.

If it was, Camila would've been sued over Havana and nothing happened
Like, who are they really?
A total letdown because I really liked Creep

Imagine Ms. Lana testifying in court..... wearing her black sweater and jeans
Well now we know why she sticks to the same outfit. She has to save her coins just in case things go south.

Here's the thing: The similarities aren't that noticeable unless someone points it out. I've listened to Creep a thousand times and when I first heard Get Free, I didn't even notice. Sure, the chord progressions are very similar but overall, Get Free sounds entirely different at the same time.
I think this is just Radiohead trying to weave their way back into the spotlight, wether it be by releasing a new album or going so far as to take Lana to court. It's pretty petty if you ask me.

I hate to say it but the chord structure and progression of the song is very similar and miss Rey does have a bad habit of singing over other songs to create her melodies
But it's only the pre-chorus lmao the rest of the song is completely different and way more diverse than Creep

Wow, I mentioned thinking the intro to "Get Free" had a similar opening to "Creep" in some other thread about half a year ago. I thought I was crazy because nothing happened, but I guess this confirms it. Pretty stupid they are suing her though since Radiohead also was sued for taking that chord progression from The Hollies..don't understand how they are the ones doing the suing
