"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)
While working on the patent, I was asked by the government for $350 to keep a trademarked name on which I had made no money. I hadn’t tried to make money – that wasn’t the point of the trademark.
This is a chart that was not classified, then after my brain aneurysm I realized my images were disorganized and some that were unclassified had become part of a patent.
While working on the patent, I was asked by the government for $350 to keep a trademarked name on which I had made no money. I hadn’t tried to make money – that wasn’t the point of the trademark.
Anyway, I let it lapse. After the aneurysm, my priorities didn’t change very much insofar as my wanted to show how the speeds of the classic pop-rock songs were played. I make sure these charts are accurate.
Never do I fool myself that the speed is way third in importance to the melody and the harmony, and even the timbre. That said, the simplicity of what I noticed to be patterns have yet to be acknowledged by anyone with a real name in a real place.
Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles is one of the most difficult measurements I have done, with only “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Stairway To Heaven” more difficult.

Most popular songs stay within 5% of their tempo.
Lyrics
There’s a lady who’s sure All that glitters is gold And she’s buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Oh oh oh oh and she’s buying a stairway to heaven
There’s a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure ‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook There’s a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgivingOoh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it makes me wonderThere’s a feeling I get When I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who standing looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it’s whispered that soon, If we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow Don’t be alarmed now It’s just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There’s still time to change the road you’re on And it makes me wonder
These two songs are the wildest of exceptions. Led Zeppelin and The Beatles multi-tempo songs are popular exceptions. Even the best intern said – “those two songs were not easy to measure.”
Both songs show a complete average of between 80-84 beats per minute. Make s me wonder (sorry) if the moods are similar in their expression or the tempo average of multi-part songs are coincidental or are both the cries of one in solitude seeking the companionship of others.
Google has provided all one would was to know about these songs except for tempo charts –
Lyrics
“Dub the mic on the piano quite low this Just keeping it like maracas, you know You know those old pianos””Ok, we’re on””Sugarplum fairy, sugarplum fairy
“I read the news today, oh boy About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad Well, I just had to laugh I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car He didn’t notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They’d seen his face before Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today, oh boy The English Army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away But I just had to look Having read the book I’d love to turn you on”Five, six, seven, eight, nine Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen Twenty”Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Made my way upstairs and had a smoke And everybody spoke and I went into a dream”Oh shit”I read the news today, oh boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall I’d love to turn you”See the worst thing about doing this Doing something like this Is I think that at first people sort of are a bit suspicious ‘You know, come on, what are you up to?’Songwriters: John Lennon / Paul McCartney
Most of these charts were not intended to be classified when made.
However, when WordPress and Google merged, in a true “you get what you pay for” move, one ate the other along with 20-20K images I had posted. I didn’t take it personally. It happened to way better websites than mine.
Adam Levine carries on a tradition of beautifully played relative tempo.
Nullam Iudas malum non esse.
Take tristem et carmen facere meliorem.
Memento et ea in corde tuo,
Tunc vos can satus facere quod melius est.
Hey Jude, nolite timere.
Et facta ire et adepto eam.
Momento et non dimiserunt in vobis cutem,
Et hoc melius tu facere incipiunt.
Et aliquando vos sentio dolor, heu Judas abstinere,
Ne mundus super umeros portabunt.
Et optime nosti quod stultus est qui autem plays refrigescant
By faciens in mundo paulo frigidior.
Hey Jude, ne me.
Vos inveni eam: Nunc vadam, et vocem eius.
Memento et ea in corde tuo,
Tunc vos can satus facere quod melius est.
Dimiserunt ergo eam et sic in, heus Judae, inchoare,
Expectans aliquis ex vobis praestare.
Et non scis quod suus 'iustus es, heu Juda, et faciam:
Opus est motus de humero tuo.
Nullam Iudas malum non esse.
Take tristem et carmen facere meliorem.
Memento dimiserunt in vobis cutem,
Tunc youll incipiunt eam
Magis bonum magis bonum magis melius: O.
Na na na na na na na na, ... Hey Jude
Luckily it has happened before because usually yeah, it is true – you pay for what you get. Google and WordPress have given me tremendous computer power for no money. The only extra money I spent with WordPress was and is for extra storage space in order that the images be large and clear. I spend extra with WordPress for a url redirect as typing in “rooseveltparexperiment.wordpress.com” is too complicated for the age where a D-Wave computer is passé.
