just wondering,since their are no drums in it but the meters seems to be something else then straight 8/8, their are some 6/8 there,
i tried once to play drums to it myself by fooling around, but i fell out every time becouse of the strange time sigs, or abrupt changes between verse and couruse
it is the song Sad Lisa by Cat Stevens

Great song, one of my favourites! 
Mostly 4/4, with some 2/4 at the beginning of phrases.

but their are counter melodies ( or something like that)
the piano plays in another rythem then the core melodie, and the singing and the string arangement is ofen differen
are their some counterpoint in the song -------------

It's mostly quavers in 4/4. From the top try counting 1&2&3&4& for most bars. The first 2/4 bar comes in when he sings ''Tell me'', so count 1&2& leading into the next 4/4 bar that continues with ''what's making you''. The 2/4 bars are at bars 14, 17, 20, 23 for the first verse.
Sorry, I've probably just confused you!
