The Voice of Reason Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Has anyone else noticed the remarkable similarity between the Australian band The Church “Under a Milky Way” and Johnny Marr’s “ New Town Velocity “? I have. Edited November 30, 2022 by The Voice of Reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I haven't. But then I haven't heard the Johnny Marr song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I tell a lie, according to Last.fm I listened to it once in 2013. From what I recall of his solo stuff it was bog-standard alt-rock stuff. So yeah, it probably does sound like The Church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Reason Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Well it’s more than just a case of sounding like. To my ears they are nearly identical. But I like them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Just playing The Church record now. Under a Milky Sky sounds like The The to me, perhaps they are drinking from the same well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Just spotified the Johnny Marr song. Same tempo, same key, vocals in same register they could be parts of the same song. The Church's song is better lyrically, but I prefer Marr's solo and 2013 over 1988 production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your research. I wasn’t imagining it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
