i don't know but perhaps someone should just call will up and ask him. i
guess this is one of the x-files of sunny day history. although, 5/4 is a
funky time sig. and maybe the band liked the idea of pointing it out that
they used it. i don't think they have to mention that it changes to 6/8 or
3/4 , because the unique 5/4 is the the hook of the song. perhaps at first
they wanted 54 because it's not as obvious. i guess this isn't really
important but it's still sunny day.
