Song timings

I listened to my chosen song and then recorded how long each section of the instrumental was (depending on if there was a definite beat cutting that section up from the next line of notes) or how long it took for the artist to sing each line of lyrics.

The first number is how long that beat is in seconds and the second number, the one in brackets, is what time in the whole song that line occurs. (e.g. the line, Look who's digging their own grave, is 2 seconds long and at 0.44 seconds into the song.)

Bastille - Icarus
