sort of a weird question about this song im working on. the whole thing kinda was inspired by steven kings dreamcatcher which includes a whole ton of references to the phrase "hello darkness my old friend". i knew it was borrowed from somewhere and i knew it was a song most likely and now i remembered its from simon and garfunkel's sound of silence (obvious to some people im sure lol)
anyways, im not really familiar with S&G. i used the phrase hello darkness my old friend in the chorus of my song. its not really the main hook or anything, but do you think its not really right to use it or what? i dont even know if simon and grafunkel got it from somewhere else like a piece of literature or something in which case id probably feel fine with it but what would you think if you heard a completely different song with that line in it? too blatant? or should i feel fine using it.
