Right Here, Right Now

I think most people can remember this song. I would also bet that few could tell you who sang it, I certainly couldn't until looking it up for this project. It turns out this pretty cool song is done by Jesus Jones.

The song is 152 seconds long, a little shorter than most of the other songs weve looked at. The climax comes during a nice high note 137 seconds in. That gives us a ratio of 1.1, nowhere near a golden section song.

However, this is another song that could possibly considered a Fibonacci sequence song. Although not all the points that I marked were exactly on the money, I found four points of interest within three seconds of a Fibonacci mark. The instruments kick in at 8 seconds. The singing starts at 20 seconds in, 1 short of the Fibonacci 21. There is a dramatic symbols crash at 36 seconds in ( the Fib number is 34), and at 58 seconds in, the singer for the first time lets us here the full chorus with an emphasis on the last part of it.

So these things which Ive noted are not exactly on point, but in my opinion they do represent a certain pattern, the pattern that perhaps is captured in the Fibonacci numbers.
