Associations (again)

And what connects the Military Wives with Les Misérables? I hear you ask.


Simply this -


the second phrase in Paul Mealor's song Wherever You Are is rather more than vaguely reminiscent of Eponine's aria in Les Mis - A Little Drop of Rain - 

And you will keep me safe 
And you will keep me close 
And rain will make the flowers grow


it's note for note the same, the metre is the same, and the harmonisation is the same.


Just thought I'd mention it.
