is it just me or does he take the rhythm right out of the Phantom of the Operah theme song??

listen to the part that says "in sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came"...sounds identical. anyway, the lyrics and theme of this song were just sheer genius. by far the mainstream breakup song with the most original lyrics and rhythm.

;O I never noticed that.....wow :D

"is it just me or does he take the rhythm right out of the Phantom of the Operah theme song?"

No, you're definitely not. That's the first thing I thought of when I heard this song, and thought I was going crazy!

Yes!! This was my very first thought when I heard it and the main reason I like it. Made me realize - more musicians should use Phantom of the Opera rhythms in their songs!
