Let It Rain

131 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 66% — put it in D major, a key signature of 2 sharps. The tempo printed above is the median of the 131 readings; 86% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 123 to 129.2 BPM.

At 123.2 BPM one beat lasts 487 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 121.8 ms and a dotted eighth 365.3 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 61.6 BPM, counted twice as fast 246.4. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441.8 Hz, which is 7 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 3.2 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 0.802 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
