Modern songs in 6/8?

[pasta4lnch]

Was chatting w/ someone today and I'm drawing a strange blank - list me some tunes from the past few years that are in 6/8 . . . any style, the more pop the better

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Aerosmith's "Cryin'" and "Crazy" are the first ones that come to mind.

 

[smperry]

Alicia Keys - "Fallin" was the first one in my head.
Not so modern, but also: Queen - "We are the Champions" and Beatles - "Norwegian Wood"

The singer/songwriter of my band recently introduced a skeletal song to us; I suggested he change it to 6/8 and it instantly gave it some "gravitas". I love 6/8.

"2 A.M. (Breathe)" by Anna Nalick

 

[Tituscrow]

Abraham Lincoln, by Clutch. Or is that in 3/4 (!?)

 

[Insouciance]

"Kiss From A Rose" by Seal

 

[oniman7]

Judith by a Perfect Circle.

If you're into rock, that one's fairly mainstream

 

[Tituscrow]

Kiss "I Still Love You"

 

[Tituscrow]

RHCP "Breaking The Girl"

 

[JohnMCA72]

Any shuffle.

Similar as they are, a shuffle and 6 or 12/8 are not the same. Shuffles have asymmetric eighth notes rather than eighth notes grouped in threes. Not to say the rhythms are mutually exclusive...

Make it more interesting...what's out there in 7/8? I got 'Money', and the first slow bridge in 'La Villa Strangiato'.

Actually that's 7/4, the difference is in accents. In 7/8 you are counting like 123 12 12 with accents on 1.

 

[colcifer]

St. Augustine In Hell by Sting, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow by FZ. Vinnie plays a two measure pattern on St. Augustine with an accent every other eighth note that's super cool. It almost makes me enjoy listening to Sting.

Dammit. TB has no place for people who know what they are talking about

 

[Marton]

Gravity and Edge of Desire by John Mayer.

 

[Blake Bass]

Any shuffle.

I think you mean 12/8

yeah - or any other time sig other than 4/4

I'm addicted to the Sara Barellis Let The Rain

Over the falls-Primus. Yup, i used primus. for serious

...heard "Iris" (Goo Goo Dolls) yesterday.
Sounds like some of it is in 6/8 (or a 6 over 4 feel).
