Tonight, August 5th is the 45 anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death. Like many in New York, the entire Meanspeed staff will be at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Some say this death has been one, as Nigel Tufnel of Spinal tap might say, “Better left unsolved, really.” One has to asked: HOW MANY MEN WERE CREEPING AROUND HER WITH THIS SONG’S THEME?
In a similar way, with a chord progression that could not be any more ordinary, along with an ordinary melody, bass and guitar: HOW IS THE SONG SO SPOOKY? At the exact speed of foreboding, songs between 114-118 beats per minute, the speed is the secret. The element of spookiness is undeniable, true and never explained properly. Would Sting want us to know? Do you really want to know? The secret of the haunted nature of Every Breath You Take is: speed. Why is the speed of foreboding still an inside the inside the industry secret?
meanspeed=117.4 beats per minute
