The blueberries will be fine.
There's a certain vibe about songs, something about their language, their flow, the way they present their stories, the detail of their metaphors. So, there's a way to capture some of these elements in another song without sticking too much to the details. Use the same topic (with or without the little details) and then just try to let the song inspire you in whatever way you want it to. If you admire its straight forward-ness and honesty, capture that. If you admire its extended metaphors and thesaurus expert level vocabulary, capture that
