In musical terminology, tempo [ˈtɛmpo] ("time" in Italian; plural: tempi [ˈtɛmpi]) is the speed or pace of a given piece or subsection thereof.
A piece of music's tempo is typically written at the start of the score, and in modern Western music is usually indicated in beats per minute (BPM). This means that a particular note value (for example, a quarter note, or crotchet) is specified as the beat, and that the amount of time between successive beats is a specified fraction of a minute. The greater the number of beats per minute, the smaller the amount of time between successive beats, and thus faster a piece must be played. For example, a tempo of 60 beats per minute signifies one beat per second, while a tempo of 120 beats per minute is twice as rapid, signifying one beat every 0.5 seconds. Mathematical tempo markings of this kind became increasingly popular during the first half of the 19th century, after the metronome had been invented by Johann Nepomuk Maelzel, although early metronomes were somewhat inconsistent. Beethoven was one of the first composers to use the metronome; in the 1810s he published metronomic indications for the eight symphonies he had composed up to that time. for example a minum has a 2 seconds
well i used to think that i was better than you
because i thought about you
but now i know that thinking's just the way to deal without you
it's the little things, the stupid games
to play when someone's watching
and it makes you feel retarded when there's no one else around
and you said i'm numb with you, but i'm numb with me
i can't give you anything
i already gave my favorite tee away to someone else
all i ever wanted was a little action
and all i needed was some time to react
(i) may be slow, at least i know
what it is about me i don't like
so i pick these flowers for you all
sunflowers, they make you smile
smiling makes you feel like so alone
it's the little things, the stupid games
to play when someone's watching
it makes you feel retarded when there's someone else around
(i) may be slow, at least i know
what it is about me i don't like
(i) may be slow, at least i know
what it is about me i don't like
