"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)

Joe Cocker’s version of a song you are so beautiful it’s one of the most beautiful songs of the 20th century.
The diagram pictured here of the measurements that I took of the frequencies of exactly how fast the song is in all places in the continuous measurement.
Does harmonic tempo carry emotions by *nature*?

You Get Up Every Morning To The Alarm Clock’s Warning – Riding the Tempo With B.T.O.’s T.C.B. – Taking 8:15 Into The City!
MODERN TEMPO CHARTS
Randy Bachman was asked when he stopped taking the rock and roll lifestyle so seriously, as indicated in the song Taking Care Of Business. The writer of TCB refused to say a word.
Kmk Natasha and fadingthekisses posted a public comments regarding this song that I identified with more than 100 other opinions I’ve read on this classic three chord composition.
Personally this song has a lot of meaning to me. I’ve always thought the “taking care of business” part was in relation to taking a shit. I could be wrong, but I’ve always thought about it like that. I also usually ‘TCOB’ at 8:15 so this song really resonates with me.

The scene was filmed on the the California beaches, somewhere between Catalina and Venice Beach. As you can tell I’m from the East Coast!
This is a tempo chart I made inspired by a scene from the Bold and The Beautiful that featured Susan Flannery as Stephanie Douglas Forrester ushering with utter gentlest her other, played by Betty White.

This was not surprising to hear on the day that the speed usually indicates: true bittersweetness. A sweet day that leaves a bitter aftertaste as time is a bastard. When we say goodbye to the ones we love on holidays no one ever knows when to say goodbye.
My brother asked me about the speed of this one yesterday.

The speed of Never A Time by Genesis appears to have two speeds.
As originally released, the speed was 77.000 beats per minute. As released on their digital; “Remaster” of the album ‘The Way We Walk’ The speed is 77.25 beats per minute.
777 milliseconds per quarter note
The charts here reflect the “remastered” version.

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,

General CommentThe lyrics of the song extoll the virtues of being a professional musician, comparing the rock and roll lifestyle to the workaday world. Takin’ Care of Business was originally a tune by The Guess Who that never got released. It was originally titled “White Collar Worker”, and very similar to the Beatles tune “Paperback Writer”. At many Guess Who concerts, lead singer Burton Cummings would introduce the song as now being a Guess Who song.
Ironically, the song has been used as an advertising campaign for companies such as Office Depot, when the song is in fact, about being lazy.
