Line 4:
This is when the music has ticking clock sound effects to it, or similar, such as instruments, metronome sounds, clicks, or even onomatopeia. This is sometimes used to make you remember that, yes, time is running and to hasten the pace.
{{examples
== Film ==
* [[Hans Zimmer]]'s score for ''[[Inception]]'' prominently features the ticking of a clock on several of its tracks. Not surprisingly, the perception of [[Year Inside, Hour Outside|time]] is an important subtheme of the film.
* Zimmer is apparently fond of the style. [[Sherlock Holmes (Film)|A Game of Shadows]] prominently features ticking in several scores, notably when someone is about to die, or when they're trying to stop his plans, with all the subtext that implies.
* "Never Smile at a Crocodile" from ''[[Peter Pan (Disney)|Peter Pan]]''. Appropriate, since the Crocodile swallowed a clock.
