What Time Signature should this song be in?

• Jul 9, 2024 - 21:58

I'm struggling to determine the time sig. of this song, as it's pretty off-beat with lots of dotted eighth notes. I'm leaning towards 8/8 instead of 4/4. It gives me that 3+2+3 feel though, so that's why I'm asking you guys! Open the file in Musescore 4 for it to work.

P.S. This is NOT Cavatina from Deer Hunter, it's just I named it without even realizing that existed.

Being old fashioned, I dislike consecutive dotted 8th notes. I prefer a quarter note triplet at the beginning of the measure instead. That gives a slight jump on the following notes. I don't have a problem with 4/4.
