These are three graphs, one radar, one linear with trend-line, and one illustrating results of all ten averaged trials of the contiguous 4 beat moving averages so depicted that illustrate the speed of the single version of Carlos Santana’s studio—Greatest Hits version also—of his cover of the Latin classic, an analysis of the original found on this site from two days ago: Tito Puente’s original Latin Salsa Oye Como Va.
The frequencies for Oye Como Va are:
standard tempo/mean speed=128.9 beats per minute
beat frequency=2.148 beats per second
average beat=465 milliseconds per beat.
mean slow phase=2.148 cycles per second.

Song #32 on the
Rolling Stone magazine’s Top 500 Greatest Song of All-Time is by the Rolling Stones called “Sympathy For The Devil.”
beats counted=720
mean time=6 minutes, 11.9 seconds
meanspeed=116.2
meanemotion=foreboding
According to meanspeed music theory, songs at the speeds of 114-118 beats per minute have a tendency to have a foreboding expression, be it overt or beneath the surface as Peter Gabriel describes Secret World’s journey into this speed.. Already on this Rolling Stone list we’ve seen “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” written and performed by a suicidally depressed man and “Layla,” a song written by Eric Clapton out of painful feelings of unfulfilled infatuation to the point of pain.
The top 32 songs of all-time by Rolling Stone rank.
