Chris Martin answers to Satriani’s accusations
By Morelli
Coldplay vocalist, Chris Martin, commented for the first time about Joe Satriani’s plagiarism accusations. The guitarist has sued the band, claiming that Coldplay’s single “Viva La Vida” is a song of his own from 2004, originally entitled “If I Could Fly“.
In an inteview with NME, Chris Martin expressed his state of mind, “I do feel a bit upset about it because I wrote the song. But, you know, these things happen.”
He guarantees that the similarities between “Viva La Vida” and Joe Satriani’s song are “entirely coincidental”.
“I know exactly where the song came from. It came from the middle of the night, on a piano. I just get embarrassed about having to talk about these things”, he added.

I've never even seen 40 yr old virgin and I can't take Coldplay seriously. Would never even have noticed them was it not for the fact that every song signed by them reminded me of some other song I'd heard before. Glad it's all coming out into the open.

They both copy CAT STEVENS "LOVE/HEAVEN" SONG. You just need to listen in the middle of the 3 minute.
