"She will never learn the most necessary, most difficult and principal thing in music, that is time, because from childhood she has designedly cultivated the habit of ignoring the beat." Letter to Leopold Mozart (24 October 1777)
America’s HORSE WITH NO NAME is a song at a speed that one generally associated with victory, redemption and pure joy. They did a twist in that speed – they play in the sublime sad haunted key of Em 9.
America’s HORSE WITH NO NAME is a song at a speed that one generally associated with victory, redemption and pure joy. They did a twist in that speed – they play in the sublime sad haunted key of Em 9. I recently heard the sing in the movie AMERICAN HUSTLER with Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lawrence and was psyched to hear the 10970s folk song sounding as unique as ever,
It was the first song I heard when I arrived at my college in 1981, and indeed, leaving my little town of Harrington Park behind I felt I had made a mistake, I always loved the part of the song where Squeeze’s lead singer sings what I wanted in November 1981 when he sings the classic, “I said to my reflection, ‘let’s get out of this place!’.
“Tempted” plays at a speed where one usually finds songs filled with enthusiasm.

The song Tempted by Squeeze was measured by J Matherton and me and the diagram of its speed is shown below

In the late 1980s the artist Martika had a ht with the song : Toy Soldiers.

Modern artists Eminem produced his own recording using a borrowed sample from the song.
E – I do not know if you are using a drug that is making your face look like you are looking weak. It’s your life, as YOU would say.
Here’s creativity compliment as to where you really got it SPOT ON. I also want to make you think about some drugs that are around that kill.
The song: WITHOUT ME. It sounds like you are bragging. Sure, if one did not know that – put it this way, if Eminem had been born [black] he would be known as the best rapper that has ever been, hands down. I have heard many more rap and hip hop songs with “black” people trying to jump on Eminem’s unique talent for a creativity in phrasing assertions that sound alike Eminem.
All is fair! Who was better Chuck Berry or The Byrds? Answer: neither one! They were both uniquely fantastic musicians.
Here’s a secret that Eminem got from The Godfather of Should, Dr. Rev the late GREAT JAMES BROWN: in a 4/4 piece of music, if you feel and know were the AND ONE (usually located earlier, as FOUR AND), you pass. There is a phrase that every musician (everyone is a musician if they want to be – a piano can be learned in a day) has etched in her or his brain:
“Always know where the ONE is. If you have that you are halfway there.” – the fantastic drummer and percussionist Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band
“[If I stop and anyone in my band does not know where the ONE is, they are out of the band. Not a personal thing, man! Life happens as you HIT the one with the sweetest harmonic sound as a new melody is played on a harmonic rhythm.]” – James Brown

God bless the legacy of LeRoi Moore.
The death of LeRoi Moore in August 2008 was a terrible blow that still ripples through the music community and thus the earth community and entropy generally.
Thank goodness he was alive to create grooves that could not even be named at the time of his death at the age of 48 from at ATV bike in Virginia.
