The title track of Faith Hill and Tim McGrawâs recent duets album, The Rest of Our Life, is the subject of a new copyright lawsuit.
Songwriters Sean Carey and Beau Golden filed a complaint in a New York federal court that claims âThe Rest of Our Lifeâ is âblatant copyingâ of their 2014 song, âWhen I Found You.â
The songwriters for âThe Rest of Our Life,â who are credited as Ed Sheeran, Amy Wadge, Johnny McDaid and Steve McCutcheonâare also named in the lawsuit that is seeking at least $5 million in actual damages, plus profits, a running royalty and attorneyâs fees. Also named in the suit are Sony/ATV, Universal Polygram and WB Music.
The plaintiffs are represented by attorney Richard Busch, who successfully represented Marvin Gayeâs family in a suit against Pharrell and Robin Thicke over the song âBlurred Lines.â
