what does it means?

I have page called www.meanspeed.com where, online, for no money nor request of any of YOUR information, such as Username/Password/favorite Teacher time-wasters. The way in which *IT MATTERS* (+) can be found thereon, and depending on your level of intelligence, you can go to town right away.

Envious people, as, [redacted] of Staten Island or [redacted], from the always arrogant yet gauche Saratoga Springs, New York, not fed every bit of information about the way to look at time on a proper, precise, useable way, and what they do, as your less than biting attempt at sarcasm in your [comment] snide backwards transparently envious remark does is attack the applicability of the meanspeed conjecture itself. Go to a Richard Feynman chart and get back to me on particle physics and its nails on a chalkboard relation to the theory of relativity (*badly* translated, as teh theor is based on the absolute speed of light, not the “relative” light – you knew that though) which you undoubtedly are familiar with and are able to swank around with. Not so easy. You actually like, have to read the physics. You feeling me here?

Did you read it? Are you too obtuse to understand it? If you are, keep commenting, I will answer away.

In this case, sir or mam or whatever, the chart illustrates the asymptotic nature of the line of advance which is contiguously calibrated and does something HUGE – it shows that the song is bound by the emotional category in which it sits: what I used to simply call “natural” I expanded upon the advice of [redacted]. That person is the main worker in a company called [redacted], and their words of – “Let them insult you personally – it’s a compliment” soothe me when I read lazy writing as your sentence. Lazy! Why? Because I only indicate on Flickr 3 places where I post places to explain with a simplicity that makes the conjecture understandable, comprehensible, whatever synonym you like, at a glance. You were too lazy to do that. If you were not too lazy, and actually went to, for example, www.meanspeed.com, www.meanspeedmusic.com or www.meanspeed.blog.com, and you “got it,” a decent human being would have come back here and said, “I read X and it did makes sense.” No. You are a GIMME person. But there ya go – I just gave you three sites out of which to make sense of the patterns. Couldn’t you have simply Googled it? Jesus Christ, help me.

Understand, I could have deleted your comment. It reads as an cheap, easy, cowardly ad hominem swipe, poorly disguised as a bratty “I’m smarter than you, this is worthless” slap. Ouch.

1) the method which which the tempo chart was synthesized is published all over the internet in general, and if you are serious about what you comment on, and you seriously doubt me – Heck, if you just want to make your own measurements of tempo, come back and prove me wrong, PLEASE SO DO! The method is so simple that my 7-year old niece can handle it;
2) when knowledge is power, as it is, and noise pollution is never going away, knowledge of and familiarity with what speed is telling you about the REAL emotional content behind a song, such knowledge as above is priceless. You can control your mental speed, control your mood, without my harsh legalistic tone of imparting information to you, from learning about music you already own.

To be specific about Lennon’s I’M ONLY SLEEPING, he is in a space of comfort, he is natural, clear, unperturbed. Songs at this tempo have such a high predictability of this emotive output that when you look at a basic list of such songs, www.meanspeed.com/graphs–>BPM lists that you will say, “Gee this is obvious. How come no one noticed this before.” Anyway, John says:
“PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT I AM LAZY
I DON’T MIND
I THINK THERE CRAZY
GOING EVERYWHERE AT SUCH A SPEED
‘TIL THEY FIND
THERE’S NO NEED
PLEASE DON’T WAKE ME
NO DON’T SHAKE ME
LEAVE ME AS I AM
I’M ONLY SLEEPING”

It’s that simple – the graph simply means – John was in a comfortable, natural, clear mood.

You’d be amazed (well, maybe not you but anyone who is looking here with sincerity) at the power you will achieve. Once you know, for example, the tempo of “WE WILL ROCK YOU” and what it implies, the reason that it has been stomped at events for over 25 years, you may just get “what it means.” I say this as respectfully as I can, as your lazy question would have been simply deleted by anyone who did no t have confidence that their (in this case my) conjecture is a truth.

That you for checking it out – if your question is real, I hope to hear an update.
