    Hi! This melody also reminds me to Pearl Jam’s “Given to fly”, from 1997…

    Good work, man!

      Which was said to be taken from Going to California by Led Zeppelin (1971). I consider these to have a ‘church bell’ melody while the Gwen Stefani one uses the Andalusian Cadence, starting off from an octave jump.

    I was also reminded of Tori Amos’s “Silent All These Years”:

    Which in turn reminds me of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Mama I’m Coming Home”:

    (According to Wikipedia, both of these songs and their respective albums came out around the same time, so there’s no way they were directly copying each other.)
