For those experts on music, how can a composition be created in "5/4" time?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) August 23rd, 2008

I refer specifically to Dave Brubeck’s “TAKE FIVE,” which was written in “5/4” time, and I can’t see how that is done. It just doesn’t make “sense” to have that kind of a time signature. Please enlighten me, and don’t hesitate to “talk down” to me, when doing so. (I’m here to learn.)
