Have you ever listened to a song and felt like you couldn’t find the beat? Maybe it was in a time signature other than 4/4. Songs in unconventional time signatures can be unsettling, but I find them really beautiful. Some of the tracks in this playlist are in odd time signatures, like 7/4 or 10/4. Others start out in regular ol’ 4/4 and then switch when they hit the chorus. See if your ear can catch it!
