Sephirot Theme ( Phase 2 ) sound familiar?

[Jhemi]

I usually don't comment on the forum but in this regard I feel the need to do so.

First of all thanks for the fast feedback Yoshida-san and I desperately hope Sephirot's encounter stays as it is.

Now regarding the matter, when I first heard it I was thinking of other songs as well and only got the "Powerman 5000" comparison from another person pointing it out.
In all fairness that resulted in me compared them as well until I heard "When World's Collide" again after a long time and realised how different they were unlike my memory wanted me to believe.
Yes there are some aspects that are close to each other (lead guitar in the beginning and the overall style) but that don’t make it a rip-off.

The lyrics and overall song are totally unique and regard the world tree "Sephirot" and reflect his being very good for me - reason I absolutely love it as it speaks to my soul on quite a primal level and sting it where it usually doesn't get much attention.
And therein lies the difference for me, I feel totally different when hearing "When World's Collide" and it is a frankly said lesser experience - no offense - thus how can Sephirot's theme be a rip-off when it at best/worst builds upon the same style Powerman 5000 has.

If everything similar would be counted as a rip-off and countered our world would be a empty and sad place without progression, innovation and rejuvenation. Is the Tiger a rip-off of the Lion just because they are both members of the "Felidae" family and have physical similarities?
