Aloha !

That's not being influenced. That's just stealing a melody line here and there and putting it in your own song.

An influence would mean an overal sound, or riffs similar to those of the Stones. Sleep sounds very Stones like, same as for the intro to Little Bit Of Soul. It's the dance beat with a riff on top of it I think that does it. The arrangement on Bitter Wine is the same thing and the way the harmonies are done. The melody line is nicked from Bad Company's Shooting Star, but the overal arrangements are very Stones-like.


Salaam Aleikum,
