probably the most petty thing i've consistently done my entire life is judge people for getting the meter of I'll Make a Man Out of You wrong

people always want to rush the beginnings of the lines in the verses. there's like a whole orchestral flourish there!

honestly it’s bold for a song from a children’s movie to employ mixed meter or however it should be analyzed. madlad composer just added an extra beat for funsies

wow i TOTALLY LIED it’s just 4/4 the whole time i should’ve relistened
the actual thing is that the first two lines in each verse start half a beat late (right? right???)

it's not in mixed meter it's in 4/4 all the way through (I just had to go listen to the whole thing to be sure that I hadn't just imagined it and I've arranged the piece before)

Not when I sing it, there's not. The orchestra runs screaming, so I need to fill in.
