I'ts always easy when you're trying to write a song to end up plagarizing another song, or offering a slight variation of a latest hits you've just heard. whether conciously or subconciously, i'd say its because it is as one definite music truth goes- its harder to be creative when you're paying too much attention to what other people are doing. With that said, paying too much attention does limit you in that you're consistently giving yourself the unnecessary urge to emulate what other people did with their tracks and shunnin away your own idetity. If you can pull it off then good for you, just dont over do it. i've bin there done that and observed people who do it on a constant basis by creating their own versions of the latest tracks, and i've come to see that by feeding off of someone elses creativity you're depriving you and the listeners of your own capabilities. Thats why these days when i'm writting i put myself in a space where i've detoxified myself from any other song or melody my brain is attached to, so the focus is on me only and what i have to say rather than how someone else would do it. When you imitate it only limits you and your own potential, rather create.
