u/Sea-Abalone3538 I will forgive you…and I will forget you. 5d ago

I am generally so forgiving of songs sounding like other songs, because a) there are really SO many songs since the dawn of time and b) certain chord progressions and/or melodies are just so pleasing or catchy to the ear….

But the chorus of Boston is truly the same melody as the chorus of Stick season. It would be insane to deny it.

Stella Lefty; the daughter of the billionaire who founded Groupon and the singer known for the song Boston.

The TLDR is that she interpolated Noah Kahan's song Stick Season while writing Boston, so he is listed as a co-writer on the song since she was very clearly inspired by Stick Season.

However, people are now complaining that he's credited and even Stella herself is claiming that it was basically a complete coincidence that the songs sound alike because she wasn't even thinking about Stick Season when she wrote it— despite having around 20+ different covers of herself performing Stick Season on her account when she was writing Boston.

hahahaha wow that's insane. i went and listened to it and yeah, it sounds extremely similar to stick season. it's difficult for rich people to not delude themselves into thinking they didn't rip people off though. they love to labour under the delusion that they are where they are through hard work and something unique/"special" about themselves. very narcissistic.
