Someone To Watch Over Me

I couldn't leave for Spring Break having been diasspointed by Rod.

I searched some more and was able to find another example of Rod working his magic.

"Someone to Wacth Over Me" is pretty old, but very recognizable. Judy Garlands version is very nice, but certainly not a golden section song. It's 195 seconds long so the golden section should be right at two minutes in and at that point there is nothing going on. Also none of her dramatic points match up or even approximate any Fibonacci numbers.

Now the Rod version on the other hand...

it does match up with several Fibonacci numbers, as well as being close on a few others (i found stuff at 8, 22, 31, and 55 seconds, all on or near Fib numbers).

The climax occurs at 130 seconds, when Rod elevates his voice a little extra for this part. With the song being 211 seonds long,

211/130=1.623...close enough for me. Heres another example of rod lengthening the song and having the climax hit the golden section.

That's more like it Rod!
