It is in C minor for about four measures...
This is a song that modulates like crazy, so one key signature isn't enough.

Here:
It starts off in Eb minor.
At 0:14 it goes into F minor.
At 0:23 it goes into G minor.
At 0:41 it goes into C minor.
At 0:46 it goes into F minor.
It repeats at 1:10 back to where it changed into F minor at 0:14.

It just lands on the off beat a lot. Don't let it throw you off.

That's what I thought, I just wasn't quite sure. Thanks. (:

I think it's in A minor, but I've never had so much trouble figuring out notes before. Is in a different mode? The scale doesn't sound very minor.

Oh, and just to double check, it's in 6/8 not 12/8?

It's A minor. Which of the two time signatures doesn't really matter, but I'd go with 12/8.

Oh, OK. Thanks!

Oh, and the stupid C# was throwing me off, it makes sense now.

#100
2/4 - F Major

Someone double check me.

EDIT: 4/4, it would probably be better to notate the L.H. as quarter notes?
Double edit: Derp - 4/4 left hand is eighth notes, you don't need a new measure for every chord. :P

Would you guys justify the use of 8/4 time signature for a bass line that uses 16 eighth notes for each phrase? They go in a 3+3+3+3+4 fashion (4 groups of 3 eighth notes and 1 group of 4 eighth notes).

That shouldn't affect the time signature, though?

If the song itself is in 8/4 (the beats are quarters and there are eight of them per measure) then of course.
But if the song is in 3+3+3+3+4 -> that the beats of the song are at these specific times (And I am not talking about where the bass line is "stressed" - I mean where the beats of the song are.) -> then the song is in that time signature (9/16+4/16 or something like that), and not in 8/4. That goes for the bass and all other instruments of course.
