Gotta’ say I’m always up for a dark theme in a song. I also enjoy off-beat percussion and atypical rhythms, and I’m also OK with vocals being delivered with odd, hard to follow style and timing. But having that all going on in the same song pretty much the whole way through, I kind of got lost 2/3 of the way through, It’s just a lot of work to follow along with.

I really like this song, it makes a refreshing change from the norm.
As for timing, it’s just 4/4 with a touch of swing, it fits really well in my head but maybe that’s because I like jazz? Maybe not everybody’s ‘cup of tea’.

I did it as an experiment to see if using swing timing would make it feel more human since swing is such a looser feel. The funny thing is the piano part is actually a bluegrass bit slowed down.
