Seeing musical form: “Go or Go Ahead”
This is a wave form representation of Rufus Wainwright’s “Go or Go Ahead.” Without even hearing the music, one can see a three part song: the first, a long, quiet section that appears to be in three sections, with the third being the loudest, leading into the next section; the second part a violently contrasting section that tapers suddenly at the end, and a third part that resembles, and is likely bigger than part two. Now, listen to the song and see whether you can “hear” this overall shape.

Interesting. The visual contrast was much more dramatic compared to what I heard.
