Speed of Sound

This transcription starts in A major.

The estimated tempo is 122 BPM, calculated from the median spacing between detected beats. This is a summary of the transcription; timing can vary during the song.

Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include A → Em → D → A (9 occurrences); Em → D → A → Em (8 occurrences); D → A → Em → D (7 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → v → IV → I in A major; v → IV → I → v in A major; IV → I → v → IV in A major. Think of Roman numerals as chord names you can take into any key. Uppercase is major, lowercase is minor; in minor keys, we count from the natural-minor scale.

No familiar pattern jumped out this time. Try the progressions above and listen for how each chord leads into the next.
