How do you make transitioning into odd time signatures sound natural (like in "I'm Best Friends with my own Front Door when you go to 7/4)?
the dropped beat was dropped out of necessity, to get to the next line sooner. it's like making a mop closet slightly smaller to fit a small mop. the mop may make the closet seem natural, but in reality it was the closet that was re-sized to more naturally fit the mop, if that makes sense
