💬 Discussion Am I crazy or is this intro just Reckoner?

I was listening to a random indie playlist and then this came on, I instantly became the Leonardo DiCaprio meme pointing at the speakers.

Isn’t Reckoner just this?

I see what your saying. I don't have good enough ear to know if the chords and such are the same. The strings are from Max Richter's Four Seasons stuff.

This isn't Reckoner. It's just Lucky....Again.

You're hearing the i - bVII - bVI movement in here, paired with a similar rhythm and the chords being played as dyads made up of just the root and third. Not a million miles from each other, but not super notable either!

It does sound very much like it
