That’s interesting because they’re very similar songs imo

It’s like they were both writing the same song at the same time without realising (or one of them heard the other and tried to rip it off)
Both written by a guy named Paul too

Did Gareth Gates and Will Young ever cover the latter though
No matter how many times I hear it, Bridge over troubled water gives me like, good tingles. I think it’s amazing

I don’t think they’re that similar
It would definitely have been more economical to consolidate them into one song:
The long winding road that leads to your door
Via the bridge over troubled water
I’ve seen that road before
That sort of thing.

BOTW is like if someone said “we want you to write a song like TLAWR but better”
They’re both in E-flat Major with C minor bits
And probably both influenced by Bach
But I think that tonally & conceptually Let it Be & BOTW are closer
Foiled again!

I listened to Let It Be album this morning. Long and Winding Road is a bit naff.
Edit: shit it’s afternoon. I listened to it this afternoon
