Significant Song Number 8 - "Band on the Run" by Wings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BOXkChyhAM
One of the many advantages of working at Penn State's radio station (then WDFM) was being able to listen to more records than I could ever hope to buy. We had a large speaker hooked to a turntable in a large open room that contained the record cabinets.
With this album, Wings solidified their sound. The change in tempo throughout this song attracted me. Much later I began to use this same technique in poetry, varying the rhythm from section to section as I wanted to set a different mood or talk about a different place.
Creative people inspire each other, even without knowing it. Being able to make those connections and extrapolate from them is wonderful!
