Very interesting. I remember some time ago suggesting that 'Turn Down the World Tonight' should be a country song/duet. When I heard Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now', I instantly thought of Journey. The syncopated piano on NYN is eerily similar in feel & tone to TDTWT.
Lady Antebellum could be the band that should have done TDTWT as a country duet. Seems they have some Journey influence somewhere.
Although different in tempo & structure, listen to how close the sonics of these songs are.
