Odna

I was just listening to this from Let Me Dream, and I was amazed that its melody is very close to Cat Stevens' "Wild World." Is this a Russian cover/version of that song?

Maybe it's just me? :)

You can hear a snippet of Marina's version on amiestreet.

I like "Wild World" quite a lot, and I like "Odna" very much, but I see no resemblance in the melody. The first three notes might be the same note with the same chord change, but even the rhythm seems quite different to my ear. Beyond those first three notes, I see nothing in common in these two songs.

Nothings close at all :) Song Odna (alone) is very close just to song Taet Sneg (in Russian).
These to songs is very very good Marina. I am looking forward for new song like these to :)
