Interesting. I went to look up the lyrics and found this info. Not saying it has to do with the comms, but found it interesting.
“ Not long after this song was released, Webber was sued by a songwriter named John Brett, who claimed that Webber copied his 1985 composition "Farewell Song." Webber vigorously denied the accusation. He said that his song was written before Brett's, and that he even supervised a demo recording of "Phantom" sung by Mike Batt and Sarah Brightman in 1984. Brett dropped the case in 1991, at which time Webber stated: "It was monstrous that this matter was allowed to run and run for over five years. I am delighted my name has been cleared."
