ello, I hope you are great and spending a Saturday full of joy and
happiness, good in Mexico, people who work and go to school have a vacation, so
good to enjoy life.
In recent days I have watched my favorite series called The OC which is a good enough popular
youth drama in 2000, leaving aside that in one of the episodes I found a song
by The Kooks called Ooh La, it's a pretty good song, as
soon as I heard, immediately download and look at my playlist spotify, when
watching the video of the song cannot help but compare it with another great
song from a Mexican band called Zoé this group is well known in Latin
America and much of the speaking countries and even manages a sound and
songwriting, the songs have similarities that makes them so same with the song
called Poli.
Zoé
 |
| Mexican Band Zoe |
It is a Mexican alternative
rock band formed in 1995 in Cuernavaca and official in Mexico City in 1997. It
is led by León Larregui (voice) and
also conformed by Sergio Acosta
(guitar), Jesús Báez (keyboards), Ángel Mosqueda (Bass) and Rodrigo Guardiola (drums).
 |
| Zoe in 2011. |
Zoé has been characterized by
influences from psychedelic rock and electronic music, including The Beatles, Depeche Mode, The Cure,
Radiohead, Saul Hernández and Gustavo
Cerati. His songs have featured on the rock in Spanish and themes often
deal with issues of space and the universe. Many of his songs are written with
philosophical dyes characterized by issues about space and the universe with
the style of the creator of most of his lyrics, vocalist León Larregui.
The Kooks
 |
| The Kooks in 2012 |
is a band of British indie-rock band formed in Brighton,
East Sussex, in 2004.1 The band consists of Luke Pritchard (vocals / guitar), Hugh Harris (guitar / keyboards), Alexis Nuñez (drums) and Peter
Denton (electric bass) .
 |
| The Kooks in 2010 |
They described themselves as a
band of "pop" whose music
is influenced mainly by a movement known as the British Invasion of the 1960s and the post-punk revival of the new millennium. They have songs that are
described as "hook easily , " The Kooks also has experimented
with various genres including rock,
Britpop, pop, reggae and ska. More recently, they have experimented with styles like funk and hip-hop.
Poli by Zoé
The lyrics speak of a man (the
vocalist) who talks about a girl
that he wants but who knows he will never be for him. If we look, in all the
letter, he describes it with affection as he remembers making it clear that
that girl will not correspond.
 |
| Video's Poli by zoe |
Now, did you know that really
happened to the vocalist? !! a girl named Paula
and which made a song with the same name and is included in its previous
album "Memo Rex ..." But
talking about it again but now slightly modifying the name and putting the song
"Poli" (because there was
already a song called Paula). The
curious thing about this is that the girl in the video is the ex-sister-that
is, Paula's sister (her crush)
That's right , "...
That's the story of an old song, the first time ..."
Ooh La by The Kooks
It took me a long time to
write a song about this British quartet was one of the sensations of the year
in England in 2006. The Kooks are in
Brighton, a city that is considered the cradle of electronic music in England. The Kooks broke strongly with his
first work, Inside In / Inside Out,
considered by both the public and critics one of the best debuts of a band in
years and has a few songs that are worth listening to .
 |
| The Kooks Ooh la |
It was Ooh since the
album fell into my hands, I love the fast pace that takes the song from the first guitar strumming. I'll leave a
video, the officer and another like another day in the world, Vetusta Morla video shot on the way
from home to a Madrid Fnac. I love how they play their guitars and singing
between cars, and I like the live voice more than the studio.
Ooh La La song was dedicated to the
model Audrey Lindvall who once was
on his bicycle collided with a car, it also inspired the video.
Different song same video:
At some point both videos look the same, the same shots, the bands seem
to have tried the same poses, the models chosen are different but something
that caught the attention is that the lyrics are similar in both songs, I cannot
assure that it is plagiarism but we both songs are really well done with great
style and with a singular stamp of each band Zoé meanwhile shows a more romantic rose song, adorable song Poli compared to the Kooks showing a letter more raw and bitter what is true love
and we can even see that in Ooh La
talk about suicide and death, but the sound that creates the Kooks is more than great that all we can do is appreciate and
listen so beautiful song , In general both songs speak of love and are
dedicated to a girl that is in love, this leads to a universal feeling,
although the inspiration for both bands was a woman behind The letter is the
message of love, that love that is impossible, that can never be carried out
but at the end of the day is the purest.
As today I am good I declare
that you loved songs are good and that does not necessarily have to be the copy
of each other but good love is a unique and individual feeling that helps rock
bands to create songs full of sound, Both are great and well here my post comes.
If you like what I write or give me a google 1+. That would help me keep
writing and comparing Latin bands against English music bands. I wish you the best you have a nice night
pass it great and we read soon, a hug and thanks for reading, of course if
anyone reads this.
