Description
Notes From John
BPM = 153, in 4/4 with a printed swing mark. The Intro is a short pickup fill, and Verse/Chorus 1 at 0:06 under “This thing called…” sets the shuffle groove on the hi-hat. Verse/Chorus 2 at 0:24 returns to the same groove and ends on a triplet fill. The Bridge at 0:43 under “There goes my…” opens the hi-hat and closes with a “nearest rim” fill. Verse/Chorus 3 at 1:02 under “I gotta be…” builds with open hi-hat, and the Solo at 1:21 keeps it going before a fill with a “clap”. Verse/Chorus 4 at 1:39 drops to claps on 2 and 4, then a triplet snare fill brings back the groove at Verse/Chorus 5 at 1:58 under “This thing called…”. The Outro at 2:15 under “Crazy little thing…” rides the open hi-hat and ends on a crash. The section boxes carry the record’s timestamps.
