 @f4d98f3e Because it’s consistent, I always just assumed this was a brief ritard? Unless I’m missing something else.

 @dbd981bf They don't come in together. They're not clear on where the beat should be.

 @dbd981bf Not really a ritard. The tempo of the song never changes.

 @f4d98f3e If you decelerate your count just as the measure before the chorus is ending, I hear that as a ritard meant for dramatic emphasis of the big vocal harmony coming in.

 @dbd981bf Sure, could be. I don't have a strong opinion about that. But they don't come in together. That seems clear.
