Stand By Me - Analysis (Part 3)

a continuation...


Rhythmic Analysis

There is also the use of syncopation in this song, whereby we see that there is an emphasis or implied accent on the weaker beats. For instance, in bar 1, because of the tied D in the melody, the notes that follow after that stress the second half of beats 3 and 4, giving it a syncopated feel.
