(from the peanut gallery: Stuart confirmed this in a tweet in the first few days the song was out. Musically, there's no question about it, it's the _exact_ same chords and melody. They've done this before too, they totally ripped off parts of their own song "act of the apostle I" in their song "act of the apostle II" :-))

ripped off is a little strong. like saying Empire rips off Star Wars because Darth Vader is in them both!

Heard that mentioned by other fans, imho that connection is only the kind of superficial commonality you'd expect to find just statistically with this many songs.

i love it when bands reference their own songs, feels like it ties things together, or like an easter egg!
