The Very Thought of You

Here's another Sinatra song covered by Rod on the new album. Whether or not he knows about the golden section, he's obviously smart enough to emulate some great singers...

The song "The Very Thought of You" is a little slow for my taste. Both of them sing it pretty much the same way and in the same style.

The Sinatra version is 211 seconds long ans i felt the climax was a twenty second long instrumental in the middle of the song. I picked the midpoint, so

211/144=1.46...not a golden section song

Rod's version, while it does include a similar instumental, when listening to the song i didnt feel it was the climax. I felt more comfortable calling one of his lines a little bit after this the climax. this occured at 154 seconds in.

200/154= 1.29...so again, not a golden section song.

I tried using the same method i did from the Sinatra version, the midpoint of the insturmental...but the ratio only came out to 1.78, not real close to the golden section.

No Fibonacci numbers to speak of in either version.

See you soon with more...
