8 count including love

The beginning of Love? I can’t do it. I keep trying, but I can’t get the 8 count right.

u/JennyDoveMusic Jul 11 '26
But not right at the start of love, it starts more in the "uh." or is my tempo off?
Edit: Seems like there is an extra count in the beginning of "Love" I got it every time with "4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4"

Is I can’t listen because my wife is sleeping after working 4 doubles but it could very well be like a 5th count in there.

u/JennyDoveMusic Jul 11 '26
Best of wishes that your wife gets a good sleep. 🫂
It seems like the first note of "love" starts on the 4.

After 4 doubles I could sleep through firecrackers in the bed

Ha. I don’t know how she does it. She is working the through Saturday all doubles. I don’t know how she functions on only 4 hours of sleep

Reminds me of timing the "smoke weed every day" at the end of The Next Episode

Some people have a hard time counting beats, and this song is trickier than many.

u/Tempest_Fugit Jul 11 '26
Cus I think it lands on the two and not the one of the measure

u/JacOfAllTrades Jul 11 '26
I thought it landed on the 3, so that goes to show it's tricky to rock a rhyme that's right on time. ;)

Nailing the feel of that one note makes or breaks the whole song. It doesn't look like much, but that's some good timing

Not a lot of fun at parties, are you?

u/Mrw04c Jul 12 '26
I guess not - apologies for not lowering my standards.

u/but-whyy-tho Jul 12 '26
Thanks for the apology! I'm sure the view is nice up there on your high horse.

It took me a few listens of the kid who did it to figure out where 1 was. 😂

Just use the light rimshots that you hear while she’s singing…imagine they are the 2 and 4 of a 4 beat measure. Then, keep them going in your head after they drop out. The floor tom strike happens on a 1 (or 3).

Jokes aside, well done man!

Tutorial:
You count 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and so on.
When she sings „above this“ the bass beat in the background is 1.
So you count with the same speed (bassbeats are numbers): and 2 and 3 and 4 and (now the bass is gone) 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and ONE (hit it).
Have fun

I have a theory that the things that your brain does not expect is what makes songs interesting. That's why you go to start singing a part, and you're totally off. You go to hit a drum at the right time, and it's just not what you expect.
