The Soprano rejoins the Boss: "My City Of Ruins," live in Barcelona, Spain, by Bruce and The E Street Band, featuring "Miami" Steve (Sil) Van Zandt



The two speed graphs of My City of ruins were made by averaging 10 trials of 456 beats, broken down in contiguous groups of four beats, entered, synthesised and created in Microsoft Excel.

most interesting about this performance: the song begins with Bruce carrying the first 148 beats alone on the piano with his voice--Bruce is a deceptively good piano player! After beat 148, the whole band joins in. The drop, in extreme, during the last 3 measures is Roy "the Professor" Bittan playing an outro and end, with Bruce using his right arm at that point to conduct the end. Let us just say: if you are a fan of the Boss, this DVD is mandatory--truly fine reuniting the the E Street band--and I know from Mission Springsteen: E Street will give you the chills--especially going to E Steet--checking out the Baptist Cavalry Church, pumping this song [on the device of choice]: better than a trip to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? Well, there is no "better," but any Bruce fan living within an hour of E Street who has never taken the tour: most highly recommended!


The frequencies for My City Of Ruins as performed by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band, as performed on their live recording on the fantastically fantastic double DVD call: LIVE IN BARCELONA are:
meanspeed=72.1 beats per minute
meanemotion=graceful
meanbeat=1.202 beats per second
meanspace=832 milliseconds per beat.
meanspace= 3329 milliseconds per measure.
meanphase=1.197 cycles per second.
meanpitch=307.627 Hertz, 80 cents above D4=293.665 Hertz and 20 cents below D#4/Eb4=311.127 Hertz.

"Nothing Compares 2 U," by Prince and performed by Sinead O'Connor: Enlightened Western Freedom or Fascism? meanemotion=sincere, meanspeed=60.0 bpm








The song, Nothing Compares 2 U, written by Prince and performed by Sinead O'Connor on this recording, here an iTunes download, became associated with one major United States television event: on Saturday Night Live, Sinead, expressing her disagreement with positions taken by the Roman Catholic church, spontaneously--the show really is live—took an eight by ten photograph of the Pope and slowly and brazenly tore it in half during a close up television shot.

Though the church expressed disappointment, and many Christians stopped buying her music, no order of death was issued in the name of religion. This freedom that we give freely as Western Enlightened people—freedom to express disagreement with authority or freedom to make a speech in the middle of a public park about why Clinton was a better president than Lincoln.

The enlightened free west. How quickly we forget Theo Van Gough, and why he was slaughtered and butchered by men who were bursting with joy at the death. Rushdie: death warrant, for: what? All Jews and Christians, Babies, children, women, boys, girls: all Jews and Christians “must die” according to the delusional fascists in the sand and hiding in the caves. You realize that if you are a Jew or Christian, someone is commanded to kill you. That is why there is a war. Freedom versus fascism.

The MeanFrequencies™ of Nothing Compares 2 U are:
meanspeed=60.0 beats per minute.
meanemotion=sincere.
meanbeat=1.00 beat per second.
meanspace=1000 milliseconds per beat.
meanspace=4000 milliseconds per measure.
meanphase=1.00 cycles per second.
meanpitch=256.000 Hertz, 62 cents above B3=246.942 Hertz, 38 cents below C4=261.626 Hertz.

Chaos Theory and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's "My City Of Ruins" analyzed in 4 beat groups, meanemotion=graceful, meanspeed=74.0 bpm




Chaos theory tells us that elements of movement and patterns can be broken down into simpler forms.

Yesterday we featured this same song, My City Of Ruins, and, as today, the analysis was done averaging contiguous groups of beats 10 times. The difference:
a) groups are shown measure by measure—in groups of 4 beat averages rather than yesterday’s 10 beats averages;
b) yesterday's measurements were taken from a compact disc purchased in 2002. Today’s version was taken as a “straight download” from the ever-improving selection at iTunes--Apple - iTunesFree Download for Mac and Windows. iTunes 6. Free Download for Mac and Windows. ...

www.apple.com/itunes/ - 65k - Cached - Similar pages
.
So we see: we are not perfect here at Meanspeed Trust, as yesterday I broadcast the Meanspeed as 74.3 beats per minute, while today on the download and using the slow piano ending—which candidly I do not remember if I measured that section in 2002. So either:
i) The master of the CD is faster than the speed of the song as given by iTunes;
ii) My compact disc had a scratch in it yielding a falsely fast speed yesterday.

Either way, the meanemotion, grace, is exactly the same—a 1/3 of one beat per minute difference at 74 makes absolutely no difference in emotional expression.

Regarding the four beat graphs: today’s speed graphs as versus the 10 beat graph seen yesterday—one can see the advantage to the 4 beat graph. Two professors and one producer are responsible: Drs. Clynes and Van Gelder suggested a try at one measure speed graphs, as did a producer whose name escapes me now. It is not something I wanted to do at first: by definition, it takes at least 2.5 times longer to create the same speed analysis. Is it worth it? I think so.

I am putting the test on myself: let’s look at the same song on a compact disc broken down into groups of four and compare: Just how accurate am I? If I show myself to be unreliable, I will pull all my sites off the net! So the next two songs: this song live as groups of four—another ten listens of the studio version might put me in a hospital—well, it might not, because the generalizations that I am making about speed expression are so exacting to the point of being brazen, well, I have to put myself to the test: in PUBLIC!

The MeanFrequencies™ of My City Of Ruins by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band from their CD The Rising are:
meanspeed=74.0 beats per minute.
meanemotion=graceful.
meanbeat=1.233 beats per second.
meanspace=811 milliseconds per beat.
meanspace=3243 milliseconds per measure.
meanphase=1.233 cycles per second.
meanpitch=315.733 Hertz, 26 cents above D#4/Eb4=311.127 Hertz, 74 cents below E4=329.628 Hertz.
