"Math Rock" (And/Or Songs Containing Numbers or Math Terms)

This topic is wide open. Could be actual Math Rock, with complex rhythms or weird time signatures, such as the band American Football with their song Never Meant: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_NfnXdXpjL0

 

OR you could also include songs containing numbers and/or Math terms in either the title or the lyrics, such as Love Minus Zero / No Limit by Bob Dylan.

 

Whatever! Oh, and no worries if you post something that someone else has already posted here. That would just be Math Rock Squared! 🤓

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 -- Bob Dylan

 

Some people have come up with various theories about what these numbers signify. Others have interpreted this as a drug song ("Everybody must get stoned...") But in a 2012 Rolling Stone interview, when asked if it bothers him when people misinterpret his songs, he said, "It doesn’t surprise me that some people would see it that way. But these are people that aren’t familiar with the Book of Acts."

 

So there you have it!

That's an interesting story. Thanks for sharing it. I think that a lot of Bob Dylan's work is often misinterpreted. He certainly inspires thought!

@l483260lwrote:

None. Lennon referred to it as a collection of sounds, and at times, a sound revolution. It was an experimental offering and often rated the groups worst song. More details here. . .
