Graphs were generated by measuring groups of every common measure (four quarter-notes) ten times with Seiko 300-lap stopwatches where ten trials were averaged, coordinated and synthesized. For step by step easy method, click here or just pull from the the dropdown screen to your above left. Speed graphs were created in Microsoft’s Excel for MacIntosh 2004 on an Apple iBook G4.
Add, if you desire, the BPM on your iTunes by hitting CNTRL/I an filling in the blank. Jobs knows the tempos, though, right? Nope. Or, can you say, “save something” – I cannot tell.

As I have shown this week, the songs by REM, Fall On Me and that by the Zombies, Time Of The Season have the same meanspeed: foreboding. While this is wherer the mean of the speeds are, both of these piece feature sections in the neighboring categories of victory and lust.
For both songs=, the frequencies are;
meanspeed=117.9 beats per minute;
meanspace=0.509 seconds between beats, 2.04 seconds per measure;
meanbeat=1.965 beats per second;
meanfrequency=1.965 Hertz as pulses per minute;
meantone=251.52 Hertz, 31 cents above B3=246.942 Hertz and 69 cents below C4=329.628.
