Find the timing by listening. Drum or bass beat is usually best to work this out. Work out the key, listen to the notes being played, not the actual melody but the individual notes. Is it major? Minor? Major tens to be happy, minor, depressing. From there it should just strike you and you'll find loads to analyse. The moment you stop listenign to a piece of music as a whole and start listenign to it, instrument by instrument, you start to hear things you never heard before. The Steps song 'the way you make me feel' officially drives me nuts because I only hear the bass beat on it. Which is a blessing in disguise. Takes your mind off Clares horrid screeching.

listen to the rythm, count how many taps you can make before reaching the same tune again. Then listen to the notes, the different instruments, how many times one tune reoccurs, the vocals, etc.......
I know I'm not really any help, but all this comes natural to me, I've been making music long before I ever had music lessons and so the terminology never stuck to me.

Analysing music is the opposite of ASKING people how to. Use your imagination and then ask us what we think. Come on!
