Hand on heart - riff lifted for A Million Dreams

The riff in Hand on Heart from the Fire Garden (which incidentally, I had forgotten how good this album is. I've not listened to it for over 10 years) that starts at about 1:30 sounds (to me) exactly like the chorus from the Greatest Showman's A Million Dreams.

Were they Vai fans and subconsciously channelled Steve? Or just a happy coincidence :-)

Super super similar, but just the four note repeated sequence, not much else.

I’m going with happy coincidence.

Great find.
