Rubato is a term often used in music. It signifies that the tempo may slightly change throughout the piece, based on where the musician feels it is fitting. For instance, slowing down a bit at pauses, or speeding up at points of energy. This may help a song have a more poetic, emotional impact.
The song was played in rubato, which made it mildly difficult to notate.
