If you are like 85% of /mu/ and know fuck all about music theory, then it can be very subtle. For the rest of us, it's the first thing we notice

"All You Need Is Love" is notable for its asymmetric time signature and complex changes.[13] The main verse pattern contains a total of 29 beats, split into two 7/4 measures, a single bar of 8/4, followed by a one bar return of 7/4 before repeating the pattern. The chorus, however, maintains a steady 4/4 beat with the exception of the last bar of 6/4 (on the lyric "love is all you need").
