I Can’t Stand Up for Falling Down

157 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. All but a handful of them — 99% — put it in C major, a key signature of no sharps and no flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 157 readings; 100% of them land within 2% of it, and they barely differ at all.

At 142.3 BPM one beat lasts 421.6 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 105.4 ms and a dotted eighth 316.2 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 71.2 BPM, counted twice as fast 284.6. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441.5 Hz, which is 6 cents above concert A at 440 Hz — the sort of drift a tape machine or a slightly different mastering leaves behind. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 3 dB: that is how far the level wanders from its own average, so a small number means a loud, flat master and a large one means a recording that still breathes. Its average loudness is 0.914 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
