For example, Coldplay's Fix You was made 13 years earlier and by R.E.M. and it was called Everybody Hurts.
The meaning and sound of the songs are similar.

I'm really not sure I'd make that comparison, or go as far to say they're the same song. Loads of songs are sad and share similar chord structures, if that makes them copies we'd have very few songs left in the world.

For about 3 seconds at the beginning of "Zebra" by Beach House I hear "Beidge over Trobled Water". Is that just me?

Anyway, yeah he's right. The same basic chord structures and songs have been used a lot.

Oh! Another classic example "Rock This Town" by the Stray Cata is soooo a rip off of "Blank Generation" by Richard Hell and The Voidoids.

They could probably do even more with G, Em, D and C.

People act surprised by this video, but song writing really is just chords - everything else is fancy peppering.

They are a lot of things, but amazing is not one of them. Christ, some people are easily amused.

Also "Empty Spaces 2". They called it "Eyes of a Stranger".

Though "Empty Spaces" was already "Welcome to the Machine 2"...I guess nobody's original.
