Q: what time signature was movie star originally in when you wrote in 2015?
A: i couldn't decide, although i suggested 9 or 11 for the total number of beats in the cycle. i wasn't quite sure but i knew i wanted to let that second chord hang there for a slightly unpredictable amount of beats, while keeping the quarter note constant. i made a suggestion of 9 and then thought about it for a minute trying to figure out what's best and i ultimately couldn't decide. when i recorded it i settled on 9 for the total. which is really more like 2 bars, so you can call it 4 plus 5 or who knows, 3 and 6 if you prefer, or in that case maybe just 3 although that's not the way i think of it
