*quiet semiquavers and evidently MIDI clapping*
*loud*

*Unusually acoustic-sounding opening*
*Percussion grounding that helps you realise it's in an unconventional time signature*
*4+3+3+3 A section*
*jazz swing*
*loud A section again*
*casual decline from high to low energy to give the song a somewhat sentimental end*

*V*

A Song That I Have
03:58

|
*quiet opening that sounds rhythmically simple*
*evidence of an even-numbered time signature whoops*
*verse*
*chorus that's basically the verse but the melody is harmonised*
*verse 2 but the melody is somewhat more adventurous, also the background is different. Also a rhythmically interesting(?) fill*
*Chorus with half time beat*
*Keyboard solo*
*sentimental ending how lovely*

*atmospheric opening*
*evidence that this isn't an odd numbered or an even numbered time signature whoops*
*rhythm is contextual - when we place sonic events into a gridlocked timeframe, we get only so many possibilities of rhythmic expression and creativity. Sometimes, the most complex or appealing rhythmic ideas are less 'rhythmic' by conventional definition, but more 'timed' in a linear, grid-less, temporal way*
*loud*
*extra loud*
*end*
