The Stranger

This is another very well known song by Mr. Joel... It is 5:06 in length and the climax occurs at 3:13

5:06/3:13 = 1.585

This is close enough I think to be considered significant correlation with Fibonacci.

I am psyched about how much patterning I've noticed in Billy's greatest hits..no wonder they are greatest hits....Fibonacci left his mark...


To recap, 4 songs definitely follow fibonacci, this 1 is borderline, and 1 was a bit too far away. But overall, every song is within reasonable distance from 1.618 and Billy so far can be considered a definite prophet of Mr. Fibonacci.

New York State of Mind

This timeless classic is 6:o3 in length. The golden section occurs from 3:20 to 3:56, with a dramatic pause at 3:44. I found this to be a significant point in the song....

6:03/3:44 = 1.62!

Billy has done it again! This is the 4th of 5 songs so far on GHV1 that have conformed to Fibonacci.

This is becoming a very promising venture..!

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.
