It's easily 6/8. Don't know what all the fuss is about. In order for it to be 3/4, the quarter note would have to remain constant, which it doesn't. It goes from a Four feel to a Two.

And the whole ONE two three ONE two three ONE two thing is 4/4. It's just syncopated eighth notes.

you have confused me now. and i dont agree with the second statement. anything can be in 4/4 if you just count steady beats. accents and types of notes are what make up time signatures.

OR... does it go ONE two three FOUR five six ONE TWO... ? are the ONE TWO longer notes? if so, then it'd be 6/8 switching to 2/4. that would be cool too.

i asked this before, but are the ONE's the accents?


yeah, i meant the all capatilized beats to be the accents.
that's pretty neat that i unintentionally wrote something in a weird time signature. still don't think i could write something with as odd a time sig. as Pyramid Song though.


amazing songgg

my pride unbound by lady's prayer

ooh, ahh, ooh

oh and now we have no chances
we fill the empty caskets

we only take our/one chances

ohhh

and how could you
have left us here
you had friends
you had us
goodbye....

just couldn't figure our that raised cup part and some others.


To me that sounds more like
My parents death did I fear mourn

And the second bolded part I think is
Before our lives end too.

I'm not positive though, that's just what it sounds like to me.

I think that's all totally right.

Someone (warlok11) from Livejournal said it could be "raise my plucked and furrowed brow"

Actually, the Pyramid Song is in 4/4. They have the music up on littlerowboat I believe.

Call me skeptical, but does anyone see any Jon symbolism in those last lines?...

I'm turning into a complete Fleetwood Mac fan. Rumours and such. But yeah. Whilest reading, that's what struck me.

Hah. A little bit. I doubt that was the point... but who knows? It could have been a factor in the feel of the song.

We really need some official input on the lyrics. Everyone's hearing something different. Instead of "furrowed brow," I hear "fertile ground."

I can see how you'd think that... but it's probably not a good thing to share aloud, since I'm pretty sure that's a rumor they'd rather not be spread.
Haha. Laughing

I think it has to do with the death of Nick Fury to be honest.
