5/4 is fine but I lost braincells looking at the E flat key with all those sharps on almost every note. As a tuba player, this is highly sacrilegious. You *do not* put a bunch of accidental sharps like that when there are flats on the left. Don't write a D# when the base key of the song is Eb and of course already contains an Eb. In E flat, there is no G#. There is Ab already in the key....

It seems like he realized that he mixed up the lyrics a bit, but he was too late since he already started singing the wrong line, though he says the correct last word and a half (the "-ee it"). It should have been, "You know that I see it," but it sounded like he was instead saying, "Where you go I'll follow," which comes a few seconds later, lol. Doesn't really change the magic of their performance though.

Jacob is just superb. King of harmony.

@HarmonicaMustang

2 жыл бұрын

@@timmysun1234 A clap has similar acoustic characteristics to a snare drum, and in a straight beat the snare falls on beats 2 and 4, so it is more appropriate to clap on beats 2 and 4, as opposed to 1 and 3 which are for the kick drum. Think of a choir; they stamp their feet on beats 1 and 3, and clap on 2 and 4, which makes a basic drum sound. The average person prefers to clap on 1 and 3 because it's easier to follow, but musicians are capable to follow 2 and 4, which also sounds better.
