Description
Notes From John
BPM = 129, in 4/4. The Intro rests 7 bars and enters at mf. Verse 1 at 0:15 runs under “Life’s too short…” and ends on a hairpin. The Chorus at 0:44 is f under “If I could…” and prints “hi-hats loose”. The Re-Intro at 1:07 leads to Verse 2 at 1:22 at mf, and the Chorus at 1:51 returns at f. Verse 3 at 2:21 is mostly rests. The Interlude at 2:36 marks “cresc.” and ends on a hairpin into the Chorus at 3:21, which rests 2 bars, comes back at mf with a hairpin, then returns to f. The Outro at 3:50 hits once under “One more spoon…” and rests 7 bars. The section boxes carry the record’s timestamps.
For the player
François Comtois is the drummer on Young the Giant. Let the Interlude “cresc.” and hairpin carry you to the Chorus. At BPM = 129 the job is the feel.
