Talk:Sowing the Seeds of Love

Beatles

Is it really a pastiche of the Beatles? Doesn't really sound much like them....at least not in the same way that "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis did.StanPomeray (talk) 08:28, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Was wondering a little about that myself... AnonMoos (talk) 20:09, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this annoying claim popping up everywhere without details has to be corroborated somehow. Musically, the only remote resemblance is the style of the repeating background chorus which, with a lot of imagination at work, sounds somewhat like George's solo stuff form the 70s. The video has much more obvious references than the song in the constant floral and sun symbols (as do the plant references in the lyrics), which seem to be relating partly to the iconography of flower power in general, and especially two scenes from Yellow Submarine (1968), with one of them being Nowhere Man where the Lads show a similar power of fertility with every footstep, and the other It's All Too Much. --79.242.222.168 (talk) 01:44, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The resemblance is actually fairly obvious if listened to on a decent stereo system, where the multi-layered instruments and Lennon-esque vocals are noticeable.

IIRC, when it was released in 1989 some people, albeit non-Beatles aficionados, did think it was a Beatles track. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.50.147 (talk) 10:28, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Music video

Could describe the content of the music video a little bit (rotating symbols, sunflower which becomes a sun, giant dipping birds, etc. -- not sure how to condense it)... AnonMoos (talk) 20:09, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
