Hmmm...this might be changing the subject, but has anyone else noticed what an odd rhythm the song has? I try to follow a steady beat in my head, but it always like...changes! What the heck time signature is it IN anyway?
Back on topic, it is a very good song though. Haha.
The chorus is crazy, though. It starts with two measures of 6/4 (With the words "sail your" as a pick-up from the last measure of the verse). Then there's a measure of 4/4, and then a measure of 3/4 and then a measure of 4/4 and then a measure of 2/4 which serves as the pickup into the next measure of 6/4 as the cycle starts again.

I suppose you could combine the 4/4 and the 2/4 into a measure of 6/4. Maybe that's how it's written. Somehow it's more natural for me to think of it the other way...
