Ed Sheeran positioned his copyright trial, which enters deliberations today, as a betrayal of the basic nature of creating music. “The thing with these cases, it's not usually songwriters that are suing songwriters.'
“The thing with these cases, it’s not usually songwriters that are suing songwriters. I mean sometimes it is, but it’s not,” Sheeran stated. “I feel like in the songwriting community, everyone sort of knows that there’s four chords primarily that are used and there’s eight notes. And we work with what we’ve got, with doing that.”alleging that “Thinking Out Loud” had “striking similarities” that violate Townsend’s copyright.
“I had a song that I wrote for Keith Urban and it sort of sounded like a Coldplay song,” Sheeran added, referring the country singer’s 2018 record “Parallel Line.” “So I emailed Chris Martin and I said, ‘This sounds like your tune. Can we clear it?’ And he went, ‘Don’t be ridiculous. No.’” He added: “And on the song I made sure they put, ‘I think it sounds like “Everglow,” Coldplay.’ But he was just like, ‘Nah, I know how songs are written. And I know you didn’t go into the studio and go, I want to write this.'”
