This one comes from Liza in Athens, GA.
She writes in to point out the striking similarity of Staind‘s 2003 single “So Far Away” and a song called “Mon Essentiel” from the French musical Le Roi Soleil which premiered in 2005.
Staind - "So Far Away" (2003)
Le Roi Soleil - "Mon Essentiel" (2005)
Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory is too good. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
