L: Steady Holiday - “Your Version Of Me”
Dude, HOLD UP. Have you ever played in like 5/4 time? It’s like all semblance you have of rhythm is a hilarious joke and your world turns upside down for a hot second until you can figure out what in the world you’re playing and how the melody goes with the beat that feels like it is going haywire.
“Your Version of Me” is not so academic that it works in 5/4 time. However, its still studied as fuck - that rhythm guitar is syncopated in a way that I can’t imagine what it might possibly be like to lay down vocals on top of them. The drums are doing this weird syncopation thing that sounds almost like there are appogiaturas in every measure, which, NO, no way there can’t possibly be. And that’s right. There aren’t. It’s just an incredibly talented musician hitting those beats, those notes, and that melody - an amalgam of difficult parts, bound to be more difficult to put together live. Steady Holiday, you had “Your Version of Me” at hello.
