If a song is normally played slowly, speed it up and vice-versa. When you "Xerox" as song, everyone can tell when you make a boo-boo, but not when you put your own creative spin on it. A tempo change is more refreshing than hearing the "same 'ol thang". Go against the “grain”. If a song is normally played slowly, speed it up and vice-versa.
