do you think we will ever run out of musical/song ideas. for example there are only so many chords and notes on a guitar and piano. if you take every band/solo artist in the world that creates original music is there gonna be a stage in so many years when weve exhausted every chord progression musical scale and we will have to end up using other tunes that people have made before and maybe write new lyrics or something. like i cant understand how a band like u2 or the stones can go for so many years and constantly coming up with brand new songs.

i raise this questions because of two things.

one i was listening to kings of leons manhattan and found part of the song to be almost identical to a paul simon song which i cant remer the name of but i know its a paul simon song.

also ive recently learnt how to play guitar as well as a little bit of piano thanks to garageband and i started righting a song. i then heard that one of my favourite bands had released a new album and i wanted to heazr the first siongle so i went to you tube and low and behold without ever having listened to this song before it was pretty much the exact same song i had composed/written two days before that tempo wise chord wise the exact same song but with lyrics over the top

or are these just two freak coincidences

Ska Lagos Jew Sun Ra

Not in any way, shape, or form. The dimension of timbre is limitless especially in the recording/electric amplification age. It's why we have the noise genre, and attempts to blend it with more sophisticated genres, and create sophisticated language, and subvariants of it.
