Show Don't Tell Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Before I actually counted, I never thought there to be time signature changes in Subdivisions. In fact, as you guys probably already know, there is a section in 7/4, 4/4 and 3/4. It's just so seamless... If anyone happens to listen to late 80s Floyd (nobody does! ) the song from ALMOR, "On The Turning Away" has a time sig. change that I never realized before until recently when I was covering the song. An example verse: 4/4 : Unaware how the ranks have grown 4/4 : Driven on by a heart of stone 5/4 : We could find that we're all alone in the 4/4 : dream of the proud. Never actually noticed it until I counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought it was, but I wasn't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know it? Pushin Forward Back is in 7/8. Living In The Past by Jethro Tull is in 5/8 and flows pretty smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest_of_syrinx Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Genesis seems to be the master of the sneaky meter... I've always known that the intro to Cul-de-Sac is in 7/4, but I finally realized that the choruses have an odd pattern as well (4/4 - 4/4 - 2/4) I also forgot to mention that Robbery, Assault, and Battery has some extremely well-flowing 13/8. The intro to Chamber of 32 Doors is in 5/4 of all things... Black Dog by Led Zeppelin has some really weird patterns and syncopation. Two Suns in the Sunset has really smooth 9/8 in the intro and other places, and the verses go 4/4 - 4/4 - 7/8. Many others... I'll save them for you guys.

Rush Cocky Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 About half of all the songs by Tool are strange time sigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
