oint with another does not mean it cannot be original. As Ian McNabb of the Liverpool rock band the Icicle Works comments:
"A lot of the time what happens [within the songwriting process] is I hear something on the radio or hear somebody else's song and think, 'Wow I wish we would have written that'. So then I start trying to write something that is a bit like it... You try and assimilate it and hopeful end up with something that has got somewhere close to it but isn't a direct rip-off."
