Oceansize - It's My Tail And I'll Chase It If I Want To

Again, I claim no rights to this, only been on UK Radio, so sorry about the quality, and there's still a snippet of the radio banter at the end, when I have the energy I might re-do it.

You're thinking to hard about it. i have no idea where you guys are getting 11/16 from. The whole song is in 6/4. Count the quarter note. Even though it feels like you want to count the eighth on the quick beginning. Fantastic song. Music that makes you think is good music.

@mdavis2789 Count the individual notes of the rhythm. It's two 8ths, three 16ths, one 8th, then two 16ths per bar. That's 11/16. If you try tapping it out in quarters you'll almost definetly add an extra 16th because it just feels natural, but the notes add up to 11/16.

@bob6k Both you nigs make shit complicated.

Count the song by 8ths 6 times. Are you starting the next measure on an off beat? Then shave the last 8th note in half.

one, two, three, four, five, SIX-ONE, two, three, four, etc., etc.

Boom. I taught you nigs how to fish a little more. So start fishin' up those time sigs.

@mdavis2789 The song is in 11/16 and maybe you have to work a little bit on your musical skill. Try to slow the song down with a software and then write down what you here, and I'll GUARANTEE you'll end up with 11/16 ;)

As the spider takes the fly As the gray does take the dye As the drink does numb the pain As the songs all sound the same With diminishing returns And the hackneyed twist-and-turns As the egg runs down your face We'll still bang on the bin lids Cause dad forgot the kids And they throw us to the pigs And it's hard lines, hard lines, hard lines, hard lines

[cornishpastie9]

The title of this song alone is worth a like.
