The clap
On the 47 headed to work. An R’nB song is playing on someones headphones. The only part coming thru is the whiney muffled voice of a male singer and the familiar slow boom/clap rhythm. Boom- , boom-clap, boom boom.
This boom/clap rhythm takes me back to middle school, a time when I listened to boyz 2 men.
This wasn’t the same though. After a while the pattern changed to include more claps. Boom-, boom-clapclap, boom boom. Then more until it was more clap than boom. It slowly turned into nothing but rapid fire claps. More of a Clappity-clappity clap-boom-clap. This was a musical transition that left me thinking “where is this going?”
