Nothing. He does pontificate for nearly 16 minutes, however.

Therefore, one simply has to assume that none of this was actually planned from a music theory point of view. They were "writing" the songs as they created and heard them in their heads and later, when someone who could write the sheet music and scribed it onto the written page, the creative musical genius was revealed when, to make it fit the actual music, differing time signatures were absolutely required to allow someone playing from that sheet music to recreate the song accurately.

I think they simply started with a musical idea and then as it evolved, were saying, "hey, lets do this!" and if it worked, they kept it.


Exactly.

Paul will preach to anyone who listens that, because none could read or write music, the tunes had to be ones that they could remember. Lucky for us.
