Speaking of melodies if the melody from California (2015) bridge is never reused I will off myself

I know but you usually write the melody according to the chords you're using so it makes sense for it to be similar too and it's only part of the verses. I actually think that chorus is better than the MAC one 

 

It's the same situation as the countless songs sounding like Last Christmas while being unreleated to it.

It’s interesting you mention last Christmas because I cannot hear one similarity between creep and get free-different genres, different vocal styles, different pace but I hear last Christmas in get free one hundred percent.

Unrelated to MAC, but a huge amount of Lana’s work used some variation of a progression like Am-F-C-G, so recycling one of the most common progressions isn’t anything new or specific to Jack

 

I’m not a huge Jack fan, but personally, there seems to be just as much work if not more from before Jack that bears melodic similarities to other artists’ work (Old Money, Video Games, Get Free, etc.). 

I think that this will be less common as Lana’s artistry progresses as she seems to delve more into less conventional melodic structures, and BoZ seems to indicate this about TUOB as well!
 

Comparisons will always be drawn, but I do think Lana’s headed toward a more distinct melodic sound with her next record

Exactly, exactly

Chord progressions are always reused-there’s clear similarities between blue jeans and wicked game but it’s clearly not a rip off-it’s about melody and the style of the song more than anything but yes-let’s see what ocean brings 🙏

Wasn't it Lana's uncle who taught her to play the guitar and to "write a million songs with just six chords"?

We have Sirens to prove that  (love it tho)

[Fingertips 72,034]

I don't think Get Free was "sue-worthy" per say, but besides Old Money, its the most glaringly obvious example in her entire catalog. I cannot listen to that song without thinking about Creep. MAC is a close third.

the same chord progression is used in this part 

 but that’s why i never got the comparison because the rest of get free is SO different, i mean one song is rock the other is like dream pop/folk. the overall instrumental and melody just sound completely different, i never understood why she got sued for it. 

yes the chord progression/“weirdo” & “manifesto” melody in the chorus is the same but that’s literally it…i’ve listened to both songs so many times and just never heard what people were talking about. creep is such an iconic popular song, it’s natural for music that comes after it to sound a bit similar

Old Money - Romeo and Juliet

 

but,

 

what does MAC resemble? (Once a friend told me it sounded like Wicked Games, but for me Blue Jeans sounds quite more simmilar to that song and that almost never gets pointed at)

[taco truck 32,991]

Who cares if some of her songs sound similar to other songs... we all know she out-served them anyway

This song, and it is Very similar and although the song has few streams, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack or Lana had previously listened to his catalogue.

No one could replicate Rick's guitar on Yosemite for example  (only themselves on Dragon Slayer )

Or themselves on Change's piano.

[lanasbottom 23,694]

since we’re on the sample/copy topic (and the thread’s dead anyway) is the WTWWAWWKD intro an officially credited sample or another "mistake" cause it’s basically this

The intro to WTWWAWWKD just alternates between two chords, but Horizon moves between 5 different ones, so it’s likely just a coincidence that gets emphasized from the strumming. The first two chords are the same though!

Sending kisses from a Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence themed party

[HeyBlueBaby 3,332]

In Wendy is such a beautiful song, it makes me want to cry. So simply written but has such powerful emotions behind it.
