When making a house track I organically played a synth chord part and it turned out to be a 5 bar loop. I forced it to be a 4 bar loop to compare how it felt but in the end I felt the 5 bar version was more natural sounding. This was a great example of how a strange idea can arrive intuitively. It's moments like these that are especially musically satisfying because you've stumbled into a rather odd choice by following your ear.
