Notes From John
A slow ballad in A at BPM = 73. The bass rests through the first verse, then an open E pickup brings it into the second with dotted rhythms. One 2/4 bar in the outro sets up the last phrase, which slows to a held A.
For the player
Taylor’s 2007 holiday cut. The bass rests through the first verse, so count it out and come in soft on the open E pickup. Let the dotted rhythms float rather than push, and watch the short bar in the outro. Stay under the vocal. At BPM = 73 the job is the feel.
