Mainstay - "October Came Late"

As I alluded to yesterday, I've got another example of a subtle shift in the beat having a major impact on a chorus. With today's example, however, it's the band that shifts the beat rather than the vocals changing their phrasing within the same temporal construct. I like Mainstay's music, and this tune in particular, because the vocals are so solid and the band seems to have a really good sense of melody. I would have eventually posted this song on its own merits, but it really jumped to my mind as I was writing yesterday's post about shifting beats...it's one of the things that makes this song memorable for me, because it creates a rather unique feel. I'm sure I'll post some other Mainstay songs in the future. For now, I hope you enjoy this one!
