Fibonacci in popular music

Predicting the next hit song…

Greetings WordPress! More from Billy Joel!

I’m up and ready to post!  Next on Greatest Hits Volume I is one of my personal favorite songs… Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.

The song is 7:38 seconds in length and the golden section occurs from 4:30 to 4:56.

Taking the midpoint of the golden section gives us 4:43.

7:38/4:43 = 1.618!Exactly Fibonacci’s number!

I have had tremendous success with Billy Joel so far and GHV1.  That’s 5 out of 7 songs now that closely conform and 2 that are just a tad out of the range.  There is definitely something going on with Mr. Joel!
