Did you guys ever think that maybe GEO composed 'Crucified'? He did compose for Ace of Base and other groups... I think that he could have recycled the melody and used it for 'Pride'.

Well they do sound very similar...


But like alot of people have stated... this is a OLD song.. plus an America One Hit Wonder... it's VERY unlikely Ayu has ever heard this song! Must of us Americans have ever heard it ;)

Plus she didn't compose it herself... I still LOVE pride! If she started singing songs that were recent... like maybe recycled Hikki's chorus of "first Love" then that would be a little different :)

Uh? So who is GEO of sweetbox? I'm guessing that he isn't a Japanese.

wow this thread got really long...

I thought HEAVEN sounded like Mariah Carey's "Hero"...

and it actually sounds pretty similar! lol, that's ok though. (Pride and Crucified)

Pride is a better song...Crucified is so disco and old..

Pride is strong and has Ayu's own meaning in it...Besides probably GEO was the one who took the idea from Crucified...Who knows...

I had my first listen-through of (miss)understood last night, and when I got to 'Pride' I was slightly shocked because I immediately recognized the 'Crucified' chorus! So I came here to AHS to see if anyone else had noticed the similarity, I'm glad I'm not the only one. :P

plz upload it again

Listen to "Once Upon A December" from the Anastasia movie.

I think it sounds like Pride, too.

Maybe is was suppose to be a cover song?

i'm not surprised..it's sweetbox.
whatev, still love the song.

Ohh, now I know why do I know the melody from chorus *^-^*
still I like it.

exactly! it's GEO who composed the song! not Ayu!
bless her!:irked

Woah so much hate for GEO... poor guy.

^LOL he's being Crucified :P Somehow ayu's Pride was butchered becaause of him LOL j/k ;)
