What's your latest Epiphany?

Yeah, things like that are why I have a legit Windows installation. That's why they invented dual booting.

Used to dual boot when they came out with W95, NOTHING WORKED! We would boot on the previous version to work for the day and use W95 to research the latest patches. We literally never used it. When W97 came out we were finally able to clear the disk space of the previous two versions. I was a programmer before they called it software development, and head of MIS before they called it IT lol. So Linux was always appealing to me but I had to go with the flow and in business that was windows.

Had to support a couple Macs for some of the people in Marketing, but most of them used Win-doze.

I have a new machine I'm putting together with the CPU and chipsets released late in 2022, I'll be dual booting there since I know a lot of the software I use all the time will only run on W7. Plan on installing W11 too. I'll see how much I use it tho....

I just cannot be convinced that this slow ballad should be considered 144bpm rather than 72. Plus, there are quite a few places where they throw in two extra quarter notes that don't fit neatly in 4/4. But what do I know? I barely know any music theory. I learned things the wrong way around: play first, theory later - if there's any motivation left.
 
I feel it as 4/4
I get why you feel it as 2/4, but the drums have a snare hit on what would be the 3 in 4/4, which makes more sense than it being on the 1 of ever other best.

I guess you too hear it as a fast 4/4:

You-are-ev-ry | thiiiiiing
1-----2-----3---4, | 1-2-3-4

What I hear is a slow 2/4:

You are every | thiiiiiing |
1----------2------- 1------2------

So my snares are always on the 2.

Lets compromise: 4/8?

There are a lot of slow songs with fast beats and visa versa. I started keyboards 60 years ago and guitar 56, I've played a lot of different genres.

Over the hills and far away for example has a VERY slow singing part, and the guitar is near impossible fast....

Is it 4/4 time or 2/4 time?

I kept thinking, "that sounds familiar but only kinda." I was thinking of this which is evidently a Jackson 5 sample, not the Stylistics.

I can certainly agree to four beats per bar, as in the video, but only if those are eight notes, so the tempo can be marked ♩ = 72 (ish), in the andante range. Or ♪ = 144 if you will :)

I learned music theory in the 70's. And promptly forgot it. Music is the language of emotion, theory and emotion do not mix! I play, I sing, I become the music. This is an example of the music notation I use.
