We'll Be Together Again

The next song on the Great American Song Book is entitled "We'll Be Together Again," originally performed by Frank Sinatra and covered by Rod Stewart.

The Frank version is 266 seconds in length and has an extremely long instrumental climax (almost a minute long) ranging from 127 seconds to 185 seconds. The golden section comes at almost the halfway point in the climax, at 165 seconds

266/165 = 1.618

The Rod version is a little bit shorter, clocking in at 234 seconds. It too has a very long instrumental climax, although again a little bit shorter ranging from 118 seconds to 147 seconds. The golden section comes at about 145 seconds in, very close to the end of the climax.

234/145 = 1.613

To recap, both songs appear to conform to the golden section. However, since both songs have very long climaxes, it's pretty easy for them to conform. The Sinatra version is definltey more credible because the golden section comes almost exactly halfway through the climax, where it is at the tail end of Rod's.
