Salluz Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Although I've heard this song many times, I don't know what the rhythm is. I have never heard a song with this kind of pattern, which is part of why I love it so much. I can count in threes and sixes while keeping the time. The patterns seem to be 2 sets of 6; the notable change goes: (first) 1-2-3-4-5-6 (second) 1-2-3-4-5-6. The breaks throw me off sequentially, though not rhythmically. Interesting. Quote
Harmony Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Sounds like 6/4 throughout to me. The break at 0:44 has a 3/4 feel to it, but you could also count that as 6/4, I suppose. Quote
rig1015 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 3/4 or 6/8 but those can both be counted 6/4, 12/8 as well if rhythm doesn't line up. Anything but 4/4. Quote

Yeah, I listened to it again and heard four patterns of six instead of 2 patterns of six. Although 3 and 6 are rational to one another, throughout the song the breaks are shortened to three while the verses are expanded to six, similar to how some some 4/4 songs have 2/4 breaks. Yeah, I broke that down. Quote
