GOD. FUCKING. DAMMIT. I'm firing my social media guy.

Oh, yeah, and… cancer aids. (Did I do that right?)

My take is that the chorus of the Sam Smith song resembles the verse of the Tom Petty song, but the verse of the Petty song leads into a chorus that makes the two songs feel totally different. I only think the charge of stealing should be made if the song as whole uses the same chords and melodies to build to the same…

Sorry, there is an epilogue. Agreeing that this 'basically the same song' is complete fucking bullshit coming from anyone who claims to pay attention to popular music, much less someone writing for an august institution like the AV Club. *deep breath* Sorry. Finished now. Peace on earth.

I love Tom Petty, but saying this is ripped off because of those three chords is complete fucking bullshit. End of story.
