This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.
Most time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that the signature is counting. This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth ...
4 with a vocal melody based on the blues scale that ends with a cheerful piano jingle. [3] This is followed by an unnerving silence before the song repeats itself. The song's high energy (analogous to a previous Nine Inch Nails track, " Wish "), segued by two piano breakdowns , has made it a staple of Nine Inch Nails' live concert performances.
In the case of DT's "Wait for Sleep" I removed it from "41/8" with the following comment: Adding 3 meas. of 5/8, 1 of 4/8, 3 of 6/8 and another of 4/8 into 41/8 isn't how a song's time signature is determined. This song has shifting time sigs, it's not one big long time sig.
The song uses 4/4, 5/8, 5/4, 9/8, 11/8, 3/4, and 6/4 time signatures [2] and is characterised by its aggressive riffs. [3] The song also features unconventional percussion instruments [4] and polyrhythms. [5] The name of the song is a reference to the Rosetta Stone. [3]

If I am correct, it acts like 4/8 + 6/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8.) // 4:54 - 5:04 -- 19/8 (Just when you thought they couldn't sneak in another time signature. Acts definitely like 10/8 + 9/8.) // 5:04 - 5:08 -- 12/8 (Merely one measure, but it's worth noting that the last beat is ever so slightly shortened.) // 5:08 - 5:55 -- 3/4 ...
4, 10 4, 8 4, 8 4, then 9 8 heading into "Between supposed lovers..." which is a three bar group of 9 8, 10 8 and 9 8, played twice. It breaks down with a measure of 13 8 then 9 8. 5 8 then 9 8 repeats 3 times then 5 8 and 6 8 once. The signature riff takes over again, 5 8 then 7 8. The final riff is 8 8. The band has referred to the time ...
