"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)

Whenever I play this in the morning while making coffee, there’s no question: It’s going to be a very productive day.
“3×5” is a song written and performed by John Mayer.

Full disclosure, I love these three as songs of civil dusk. I have been blessed enough to listen and watch all three bands perform the songs that way, as can be seen in the links below.
Are the songs better
a) in their live versions;
b) in their studio versions;
c) it depends on my mood.
Full personal disclosure again: to me, I usually like these songs better at night, though my mood upon listening usually takes over. Nothing to brag of, I know! How about you?
I compose morning Episcopal music. The musicians on this page? THANK YOU 👉🏽❤️❤️❤️!!! It is an interesting thing to take a Martin Luther or Ralph Vaughn Williams or Martin Luther hymn and change some of the 1600s harmonies into 2018 harmonies. Hint: fewer diminished seconds, more 9ths in place of same. In some keys, as C, the major 3rd is a harsh interval as the E, to allow for equal temperament, stretches toward the perfect 4th, the dreaded F.
Thanks for your help!

To me, the coolest thing about the entry of the drums with a savage rawness that makes this song one that “will outlive [me],” as Phil Collins referred to himself and how the song has become more famous than *he*is.
There are many opinions as to how fast In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins is.
These are the times I measured it.

The universality of being able to feel as though something is going to happen, especially at night, with an intensity that in the hands of most writers doesn’t translate. That is what music is for, correct? To express messages of any kind in a way humans have done far before their were any etchings on any cave walls.
But let me not drown (he’d throw me a lifevest if I was drowning, Phil would)
That sounds like it could be a bummer, but it is not! If someone told Shakespeare that in 600 years parents would still be naming their children Romeo and Juliet [and all the other turns of the English language that dates back to and were formed by the creation and performance of his dramas], would he even have believed it?

Band On The Run is a two-part song by Paul McCartney and Wings that was written and released in the 1970s.
Is the first part of the song and the second part of the song are more like two songs glued together than one song? Or, did Sir Paul and the Band know it wanted a two-part piece with a release thus though it may sound as two songs stitched together, it was always written as a two-part suite made of one contiguous song.
THINGS WE SAID TODAY IS above because this great live version has not been heard by enough people!
The beats as measured above are contiguous. The set is closed. Speed is free.

Matherton Diagram of Steve Miller’s FLY LIKE AN EAGLE measured by me.
The average speed is 100 BPM, but the band gets a wide range, around 92-103 beats per minute.
“The Steve Miller Band passed me by, but I heard great things about those guys,” noted the Rock

Adele once noted, “No, they’ll never influenced me *musically* – but I studied Steve’s boldness, his determination to do his thing – and I take inspiration from such great people. You can see, too, Steve was dressing his way, ahead of his time – and it was not what everyone wanted to see him wear. I get that a lot! Honestly, it used to bother me, now I rather revel in the idea of it.”
