GUEST,foggers Why do people mess with the rhythm (48) RE: Why do people mess with the rhythm 15 Aug 12


I agree it is not an inspiring version of the song, and the breathy, new Age-y Cod-Celtic vibe is worse than instant mashed potato for that cloying plastic quality.

However I think there is some mileage in the points being made; singer of ballads in a number of traditions will play around with tempo for dramatic emphasis.

In this instance I think Stim is spot on in suggesting the use of some time compression tech in order to synchronise with the frames of the film it accompanies.
