  • One of my “modern” folk song is about exactly this phenomenon.

    Edit: here it is, if someone is interested, it’s an old-styled, descending, parlando rubato hungarian folk song. I noted it down using solmization.

             A
      2/4||: la,/8 mi/8 mi/8 re/8 | mi/4+ mi/8 | ti,/8 do/8 re/8 mi/8 | ti,/4 la,/4 | ti,/2* :|
             B
         ||: do/8 do/8 ti,/8 la,/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/4 | ti,/2* | do/8 do/8 do/8 re/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/8 | ti,/2* |
             C
         || so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 | so,/4* do/8 ta,/8* | la,/2** ||
    

    (the comma after the solmization indicates the note being in a lower octave. Plus sign after a not length value means it’s dotted. Asteriks means fermata. Also, there is one strange solmization note (used in relative solmization) which I marked as “ta”, it’s a flat ti.)

    And the lyrics (in hungarian)

    “Várakozom én a százötvenegyes buszra, ( A )
    Kezemben készen a sodort cigaretta, ( A )
    Meg is gyújtom azon nyomban, ( B )
    Szippantok belőle hosszan, ( B )
    Ah, de megjött már az a busz.” ( C )

    Which translates to this (I used ChatGPT for the translating, told it to be a bit more… free or poetic or idk):

    “Standing at the stop, the one-fifty-one in sight,
    In my hand, a cigarette rolled tight.
    I light it up, breathe in the smoke,
    A long, deep breath, with every toke,
    Ah, but now the bus is here, just right.”
