When You Accidentally Write Songs That Already Exist | Pianist Reacts 

My secret to writing music is make it so bad that no one would ever copy it past or future XD.

My friend occasionally sends me songs he likes, and one time he sent me a song that nearly made me spit out my tea because it had 95% the exact same opening melody of a song I wrote, even down to the instruments. Unfortunately for me, their song was made first.

00:03:49 Love it when he starts saying "You'll end up with something that was done before", and you can almost hear the start of The Legend of Zelda Theme.

Daniel thrasher is hilarious

You said the retitling was your favorite part and then cut out the new words for Hotel California. "Welcome to the L.A. bed and breakfast"

I remember I was composing once and I ended up writing my own national anthem into my melody. Feels bad man

I really felt this one, because I accidentally managed to write the melody for the Plants vs. Zombies Final Boss when trying to make my own music. I didn’t even know until my friend heard it, half-recognized it, and actively hunted it down within the next two minutes. Was funny as shit how fast he found it though.

A hilarious take on a surprisingly widespread problem. Great reaction video, and it's awesome you're almost at 8K already!

this channel is a gem. Beautiful playing too!

3:50 funniest thing is those are chords from the zelda theme

Happens in classical music too. To some extent. You can hear snippets from Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals in Danse Macabre. Even Mozart plagiarized his own music on occasion.

this is why video game music is so much more liberating, more genre[s] to play with and your odds of running into something someone has done is much lower.

he took out my favorite part. WELCOME TO THE L.A. BED AND BREAKFAST

Mate I think you'd love the Four Cord Song by The Axis of Awesome. Fantastic piece about how almost every pop hit uses the same four cords

3:44 funnily enough right there he plays the chords of the main theme of the legend of zelda

I wrote this really nice acoustic guitar riff that I planned to do something with, then I realized it could easily be considered a rip off of Wanted Dead or Alive by BonJovi. Mine involved more fingerpicking and isn’t exactly the same, and I could legally use it but when I realized I was in fact somehow influenced by that song (even though I don’t listen to) I lost my creative power in it. Stuff happens.

The worst part is when you play a song for a couple weeks, and then you change things up and then realize its something you know already 😂

The intro to I Kissed A Girl has the same chord progression to one of the songs in my brother's high school band back in the day.

There's a video on RU-vid of Deadmouse trying to come up with something new and he accidentally recreated sandstorm. The laughter that he has is hilarious when he realizes it

The 'Let it Go' part made me laugh so hard! That's the only song I truly recoginized, other than 'Don't Stop Believing'.

The whole series he did comes from one video when he was messing around and accidently wrote the theme for The Office.

Relatable, once i composed a waltz in d major that i said that its copied 10% from Strauss II, but as it turns out, it was entirely based on Strauss, so yea i removed it

I've been following Daniel's channel for years and I finally see someone showing some recognition for his genius videos. Bravo.

The hard part about making music, is the originality

Daniel thrasher has a video about adding a jazzy part to every song.

Matt is so cool and underrated but more on the cool side.

Would love if you reacted to the other ones! They have great jokes in all of them

Thanks for explaining how one identifies those music pieces, that was quite nice to common folk like me who know nothing about music :)

Loved the reaction! And yeah Daniel is hilarious here 😂 I'd love to see you react to the rest of the videos from this series of his!

Thanks so much for posting this!

Him: You're just playing with chords.... Me: are those the opening chords for the legend of zelda theme?

I was messing around on the piano the other day (am a brand newbie) and I played this catchy 7-8 note tune, I kept repeating it then eventually wrote it down. I was so giddy that I had made up such a catchy cute tune until I flipped through an old piano book I had occasionally glanced at in the past and found that I had composed......the first notes of....Love me Tender by Elvis!!!😂 🤦🏻‍♀️

Amazing video ever! Pretty interesting to see a pianist react to a Daniel Thrasher video!

I feel you should be way bigger in the react space than it seems you are and i hope you get the recognition you deserve .

I love that you put in that Ed Sheeran quote. It's good to note as well that he said that in a video explaining how he was getting sued for supposedly plagerising another song with his "Shape of you" simply cause the chord progression in the chorus sounds similar.

I'm pretty sure its a combination skit bringing light to the fact that original music isn't as easy as people think it is as music has been around for centuries so people are bound to have something sound similar to something already created

It's a crime you didn't react to more of his series.

Matt is such a legend!

My buddy came into my dorm room with his guitar excited. He had heard a song Ina dream which he then enthusiastically demonstrated. It was the theme to "the Heights" (talk to an angel) I watched the heartbreak in his eyes. lol

"Pretend for a sec" 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my gosh, the chords you randomly played around 3:50 immediately reminded me of If I Needed Someone by Nellie McKay!! 😂

Big Agree on including jazz solos in everything.

Agree with you on the jazz solos lol!!

Daniel is soo funny but with you soo enjoyable keep up the good one day you will hit a million

I love that Daniel is doing a live tour.

The last song is the funniest one. You completely know what it is as soon as he starts, just from the rhythm

Greetings my friend Matthew!!....You are the right person to make this insane reaction video and give us your opinion about this insane singer...In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just it was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coachs, singers, musicians, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because your channel will explode with an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bDX3FhmyNac.html

You should react to all of his accidentally writing songs it’s great.

Anyways i think at least he wrote variation for those songs

Copy 1 person, and you're a thief. Copy 10 people, and you're inspired. Copy 100 people, and you're original.

A little more than 20 years ago a few friends and I got together once or twice a week to play just for fun. One night we made up this song in which we threw in a pseudo-Celtic-style break. We recorded it just to have 'cuz we thought it was kind of cool. A week later the guitarist showed up with a CD by a jazz guitarist - damned if I can remember who it was - that a friend had pulled out when he played our tune for him. It had a song with a break in the middle that was identical to ours; same key, same chords, same melody, same tempo and even the same instrumentation, including a bodhran. Initially we were a little pissed off, but pretty quickly all we could do was laugh.

Hello good sir. You are funny and entertaining. I sub. Another piano man added to my list. 👑

I thought I came up with a rare incidental riff… it was Time Spent in Los Angelos

That little part at the end of let it go is at the end of every episode of Everbody loves Raymond.

Ed Sheeran knows what's up, he had to pay royalties in a lot of the songs he wrote 🤣🤣🤣

Piano features in My music heavily, I love its sound however everything I do is purely bassed on feeling and random ideas as I have never bothered to learn how to play anyone else's music. To play someone else music this makes you a musician but not a composer and songwriter. I only play My own ideas.

You should totally react to another of his vids "When you learn a riff and put it in everything"

Frozen with a plant vs zombie in the end

You should react to part 2 of it

Lovin the shirt, I have one exactly like that one

oh man! hotel california - you cut the best part! 😂😂😂

YOU MISSED THE "WELCOME TO THE L.A. BED AND BREAKFAST"!!!

Should include it in every song… lol has he seen the one where you finally learn a riff and put it everywhere? 😂😂

There was that four chords song by Axis of Awesome

You skipped over the best joke, “Hotel California” became “Welcome to the LA Bed and bekfast”😂

matt is a legend

Thank you for showing the sheet music for the songs, despite me not being able to read them. :/

You should react to the rest of these videos

I was sad when he skipped the “Welcome to the LA bed and breakfast”

I love the LA bed and breakfast. ^.^

Daniel and Matt are the bestest!

You cut your reaction to the best part! "Welcome to the LA Bed & Breakfast..."

I was so expecting a Rush E towards the end.

I was messing around with my guitar and I thought I created a new rift but I figured out that I just made a more dramatic version of the sweet child o mine rift

Do the rest of them

Yeah, I recently privated my song, as if you slow it down, it sounds eerily similar to, "hymn it the sea"

@Matthew Cawood Can you react to part 6 of that series?

You deserve more subs bro

A reaction video to a Daniel Thrasher video.... this is wild.

3:26 That's a whole another video!

reacts videos are incredible. They capitalize on other people's work, gloriously I might add. Laziness and ineptitude, modern youtube ethos

For those who have seen the original video, welcome to the LA bed and breakfast

Great video!

i can't imagine being able to play anything on the piano, let alone what he does

This is a reference to one time he accidentally wrote the office theme song

Have you reacted to "4 chord song" cause you should if you havent!

i mean... axis of awesome has the four cord song for a reason lol

A little bit sad that you skipped over the part of "Hotel California" where he sings:"Welcome to the LA Bed and Breakfast"🤣.

Jazz solos for everyone!

It reminds me how Final Fantasy 15 Leviatan theme had full segment from Skyrim main theme. I literally could sing to it. This one felt really on purpose tho

why did you skip him saying L.A. bed and breakfast. that was the best fucking part godamnet.

I don't understand any of the words you are saying about music. But I do like the analysis qwq

damn the piano man sounds nice

The celebrities that sure did thing imagine during Covid - was pretend for a sec lmao

Why is his comments section so calm

Does anyone know what video clip that was regarding Ed Sheeran? I’m writing an article about music plagiarism

*insert RobP's rant about how everything is just Pachelbel's Canon in D*

The mind remembers even songs you just heard for a minute on the radio from years ago. With all the songs running around and sounding the same it's no wonder . We need to get back to metal to rejuvenate the music cene

You skipped "welcome to the L.A. Bed and Breakfast" that's like the best punch line of the video.

Please react more to him.
