Start dance on the vocals "I'm Blue", approximately 60 seconds from beginning. It would be prudent to fast-forward the track 55 seconds, and wind the music down after 4 minutes. Just before the 8-count tag, it feels like you should hold for (2) counts then go into the tag. Don't! The music will kick back in after 2 repetitions. The beat feels unusual and off beat, but when danced to the music, it feels a lot clearer
