Not sure if it's even intentionally put into the music, but it seems a pretty MOTHY-ish thing to do, so I'll point out something I noticed. Not really a "theory", just an observation I didn't know where else to place.

I was listening to music before I started falling asleep, and it happened to be my playlist for the Clockwork Lullabies. I've been in band class for going on seven years now, and with the band teacher I've had, it's become drilled into my mind to take note of the counts in a song without noticing it, really. Not really a skill or anything, just force of habit. Anyway, so it occurred to me that most of the CL songs I'd listened to thus far followed a similar pattern in regards to this.

I want to note here that this is still in testing, and it'd be cool if someone who knows how to count the score of music to check after me, and that I haven't managed to listen to all of the CL songs at this time of night. However, the ones below I have listened to, and noticed this pattern:

- Spring-powered Lullaby

- Miniature Garden Girl

- Capriccio Farce

- Re_Birthday

- and Chrono Story

All of them can be counted with two to four beats per measure, and all have the same general pattern of 'clock' sounds, like ticking, if you notice where the measures might end, and the beat of the song. The only exception is Chrono Story, which starts out in 3/4 time, like a slow waltz, and progresses into the faster part where Luka is singing, which I tried to count as half-time. It worked for me, but please note I'm not a professional. If someone has a little more experience with counting the score of a song, please check this out and tell me if this is just the delusion of a half-asleep band kid, or if I actually heard something. Like I said, not sure if that was intentional on MOTHY's part or what, but I figure it's worth checking out.
