Description
This week, Rich and Clint discuss the great songs written outside of 4/4. Most songs in popular music are in 4/4, but occasionally songwriters venture outside of what's familiar to our ears, and the odd time signature is a brilliant and critical component of the storytelling. Without getting too deep into the music theory, Rich and Clint highlight some examples of popular songs that perhaps you never noticed have odd time signatures - songs like All You Need Is Love by The Beatles, Money by Pink Floyd, Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel and many more.
