I second the motion. And I’ll add this comment, @Oudis, the word I thought of when I thought about you and your 100 posts is “solid”. You are an excellent member of our forum.

Oh guys, your comments are so nice, you’re gonna make me weep 
I have certainly felt welcome in this forum, and enjoyed interacting with its members, and learning so much about the band I love the most and has been part of my life for three decades. Thanks to you all.
Oudis.

The first time that I ever noticed timing that was not standard in a Beatles song was listing to “she said, she said” and I couldn’t stop listening to it. I had to play to it over and over.

I took a listen to that song again, and I’m pretty sure it’s not in an exotic time signature — it seems to be straight ahead 4/4. However, ingeniously the drums are hitting an odd pattern of syncopation, so you get the impression it’s off-beat. I wonder if Ringo came up with that himself, or if Paul arranged it for him…

Offline She said, she said is written in a 4/4 with a 3/4 section in the chorus creating confusion about where ONE is.
By by the time you begin the chorus “she said you don’t understand what I said.” When you begin the next verse there are only 35 beats to the chorus.
It starts out in 4:4 with 2 measures
/ she said you don’t under / stand what I said, I said /
Then it switches to 3:4 for 9 measures but without any change in tempo. Each quarter note still gets the same time.
/ no no no, you’re / wrong when I was a / boy / / everything was / right, /. / everything was / right /
now back to 4:4

Offline I wish I could analyze time signatures as easily as some of you guys. It’s all Greek to me.

Offline BobGreaves, ah now I see as I listened more carefully. Not sure if it’s merely the addition of an odd 3/4 measure, but maybe something that could be counted another way (like one large measure of 14 beats which would be two 7/4, etc.). Some time when I feel like counting all of that rather tediously, I’ll try to figure it out.
