Opinions, Please...

So, do you think it's a coincidence or an homage?

House of Bombadil starts with three bars of 7 then two bars of 4...

So does Up and Running...the first track on Bela's Acoustic Planet...

Or am I just a music geek that's too overly analytical?[think har

That is a very intersting point. I don't know if Chris would have done that intentionally, but he has said that acoustic planet is one of his favorite albums of all time. Since the feeling is so different, and we already know where Tom Bombadil came from, I would have to guess that Chris didn't intentionally use the same metric orginization as Bela. I would say, however, that he would probably appriecate the parallel. I know I would!
