Many people ask: "what is the one single example you can give me of a song that embodies the 'meanemotion' of natural? Huh?"
My reply: your ears, your brain--a few charts offered as proof above and there you go. Ultimately natural. Leave it to John Lennon, Sir Paul, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.


Elemental speeds, as indicated above:
Beatles, Hello Goodbye, 1967
mean speed=100 beats per minute

Sir Paul McCartney, Hello Goodbye, 2002
mean speed=102 beats per minute
