Tired of Waiting for You

162 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Most of them — 94% — put it in C major, a key signature of no sharps and no flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 162 readings; 97% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 120.2 to 122.1 BPM.

At 121.8 BPM one beat lasts 492.6 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 123.2 ms and a dotted eighth 369.5 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 60.9 BPM, counted twice as fast 243.6. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 435.4 Hz, which is 18 cents below 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 3.33 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 0.819 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
