What is the tempo of Last Night's Stars

In terms of the overall length of the song, Mr. Miss's version of "Last Night's Stars" is not that different from the original version by Lin Shurong, but structurally, Mr. Miss's remix is still a lot of work. The new version of "Last Night's Star" has undergone large-scale adjustments to all musical elements except the melody, starting with the deletion of the original song's powerful intro, which was replaced by Liu Ren's slightly disheveled and raspy vocals. This kind of song adaptation, starting with a clean vocal, is not common in Mr. Miss' previous song adaptations and compositions, and more often than not, they would choose to create a completely different intro to reflect their own musical style, and leave the intro as the first listening experience for the listener. But this creative inertia did not carry over to the remix of the song "Last Night's Star", perhaps because the melody of the song is so famous that it would not be unfamiliar to people if they started with the melody.

Secondly, in Lin Shurong's version of "Last Night's Star", we can hear the complete musical structure of the main song and chorus twice (introduction - main song - chorus - interlude - main song - chorus -Interlude), and the lyrics of the second main verse are different from the first. In Mr. Miss's version of "Last Night's Star", the structural elements are massively cut down to a more minimalist pattern (lead - chorus - interlude - lead - chorus), not only by removing the more important second verse of the main song in Lin Shurong's version, but also in the Mr. Miss's version of "Last Night's Stars" is structurally the most obvious difference between the original Lin Shurong's version and Mr. Miss's version of "Last Night's Stars".

Second, the choice of musical style

Lin Shurong's version of "Last Night's Stars" is a typical tango in its musical style, which can be reflected in the rhythm of the prelude, which is exactly the most typical rhythm of Lin Shurong's version of "Last Night's Stars," a rhythm that runs through the entire main part of the song and is clearly reflected in the intro, interlude and finale (score example 1). clearly reflected in the intro, interlude and outro (score example 1).

Mr. Miss' adaptation of "Last Night's Stars" remains in the jazz style they are most familiar with. Mr. Miss's version of "Last Night's Stars" adopts a relatively slow tempo and a very typical jazz rhythm as the rhythmic basis for the whole song (Example 2). Judging from the rhythmic combination in the first measure, the rhythm of the new version of "Last Night's Stars" appears to be an inversion of the original version's rhythm, placing two quarter notes on the first two beats. The difference between the two rhythms is best illustrated by the fact that the rhythm of the second measure is a continuation of the rhythm of the first measure, which in turn creates a two-bar cycle, rather than a one-bar cycle, as the rhythm of the original version did. The tempo shown in example 2 only shows the initial part of the rhythmic pattern in the song; as the music progresses, there are more variations that flesh out the rhythm of the song.

Besides the tempo, Mr. Miss also utilized a more diverse range of musical expression in their song adaptation as a way of reflecting their jazz style of music, and most of this is reflected in their attention to detail in their arrangement of the new version of "Last Night's Stars"
