Well...........
I think it’s difficult to invent new music,new lyrics,new songs..........
Music is like clothes,everything comes back :D

we all are inspired by the music we listen to...
For professional musicians, it is called “influences”
For non-professional musicians, it is called “plagiarist”

Per likes Tom Petty, he has told that often.
so it is no wonder he might take over some things from Tom Petty, but that doesn’t mean it is plagiasme, because I don’t think it is exactly the same (a copy).

Well, after all that Stephan Malmsomething sue case last year, Per’s originality it’s not contested anymore...but I dunno...some people quest what ’original’ means...if that means from the rooth to the branches, then, u shouldn’t ’dare’ borrow an idea, not even if this idea comes from a song title...
I’m saying it, ’coz I found pretty weird when I checked some Tom Petty’s albums and songs and of course, conneted them with Per’s self confessed fanism for him...Tom has got songs with names like ’Listen to Her Heart’ (?!)...A Thing About You...Here Comes My Girl (There’s My Baby - btw, the lyrics of There’s my Baby and kinda an adaptation of the ideas in Here Comes My Girl, what deserves a credit, anyway, and, without forget what Per said about TWATG, that it was a hommage to his personal music collection...)
Anyway, it is weird...I mean, I don’t think Per a plagiarist, but it was weirdly shocking for me, in the first time...oh, yeah, and the same happens with ’Teaser Japanese’, too...well, u tell me whatcha think...
