Default 'Up In Flames' Sounds Like...

Ungodly Hour by The Fray.


REASONS WHY
- They both have a simple and repetitive drum beat (not meaning it in a negative way)
- They both share the piano as the main instrument with soft guitars following
- They both are about break-ups and relationships

What do you think? What other songs share these similarities? Just remember this is just for fun.

I get what you mean.
Ungodly Hour is better unfortunately.

I think so too. I think Up In Flames has too much bass!

I think it also sounds a lot like this one:



Normally the song is a bit more rough, but I picked the acoustic one because it has less distortion.

(btw it's no my kind of music, someone just pointed it out to me )

I've said this before and I'll say it again, the drum beat is veery similar to that of the suction things in a milking machine.

Because the description fits hundreds of other songs, it could be any song if you're being as vague as that

That is very true. However, I was specifically comparing it to Ungodly Hour by The Fray. Listen to that song and see if you can spot the similarites between it and Up In Flames and see if you catch my drift.

U2's So Cruel fits this description yet is nothing alike Up in Flames (it's also a much better song)
