“Dream On” by Aerosmith and is found on the CD called ‘Classics Live’ and ‘Aerosmith’s Greatest Hits.’

 

The tempo maps at represent a comparison of the speed performance of the song played in the studio, charts and frequencies thereof with the speed performance of the song live.

 

This is a case of “Meanspeed® Avoidance.”

We will see more examples of it in the days and weeks to come. Notice how the song is comfortable as a lonely song, as played in the studio, or a song of grace, when played on stage–and the song in both cases plays many bets and measures in the meanspeed® –77-78 beats per minute, or, the square root of 60 seconds multiplied by ten.

We saw this with Pearl Jam and their song “Black.” The meanspeed®, or “bittersweet” meanemotion, is very difficult to keep up, especially on stage, as are the emotions. It is easier to mourn something and be lonely about it than it is to say a long “good”-bye to [it], and it is easier to be graceful in their presence than maintaining the, well, way too long good-bye scenes, all scenes of which we are all experienced and I think probably wince in pain just thinking about the really bad good-byes.
