a few days ago a friend reminded me off this “sick of it all” classic. the same day i read about this hyped popband called “hurts”, and i gave their video a try. for an 80’s grown up like me, the sound and look brought no suprise. so i quickly forgot about it. the more i was surprised to catch myself a few days later still repeating the hookline in my head. well, after some considerations i found a twisted connection between the “hurts” song and the previously heard one of “sick of it all”. so these two bands obviously joined forces in my head. a question remains: can the “hurts” hookline considered as stolen from “sick of it all”?
