Which Statement Best Describes The Rhythm Of

I am going to die a slow, hideous death if she catches wind of this.I don't know, maybe it's a gal thing, but when my wife tells a story, I've always gotten the impression that the telling of the tale takes longer than the event itself.I've often teased my wife about this, “Gawd damn, woman! Yap, yap, yappity, yap, yap. I swear you could talk the ears off a cornstalk!”Last month we've been together 39 years as a couple. I've tried to get rid of her. She won't leave. It's not for lack of trying. The other day, we were out for a drive. I asked her if she knew where we were. When she said no, I pulled over and told her to get the fuck out.And then there's that constant nagging, “Blah, blah, blah, you never take me anywhere, blah, blah, blah” I said, “Sure I do. I can't help it if you keep finding your way back.”Talk To Ya Later by The Tubes,

It's just me! :Expressive face and a dimpled smileCarefree happiness even when I failCurly hair messily tied or noodles as they say Jovial and friendly is the way I stayCloser you know, the better you seeBehind every smile is a silent meOne who cares alot, even for little thingsWho believes in reality with fantasy blinksPeople are my best possessionMemories dear to heart, not to mentionRemembers every detail without failReliving the memories back the trailMistakes I made, made me strongThough doubt every deed as if I'm wrong I love myself both at my ups and downFor me I'm d princess with invisible crown

If you can't relate to it, then you must be a robot, right?It's very deep, very personal, but it's something everyone has had at one point, and the music, reflects it. You have crazy blues like that of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix, where it's full on and raw and quite unpredictable… But then you have the almost innocent blues playing, like BB King, Albert Collins etc. where's it's like an inside voice crying out.I had a friend once that, when I asked him “Why don't you like the blues?”, he responded with “I just think it sounds boring”.If I could go back now, I'd probably say “Well you either just don't get it, or you're not listening hard enough”

Since I’m a writer, I think in terms of adjectives:smooth, rhythmic, sensuous, sinuous, energized, precise, staccato, percussive, Latin, rowdy, dirty, provocative, interpretive, primitive, ritualistic, evocative, moving, cultural, uplifting, inspirational, entertaining, vigorous, engaging, FUN, …

How do you smell the color 9? Using words to describe sounds will always have its limitations. Yet there are some very good music reviewers and writers who manage to come close to the feel you get when hearing certain music. Comparing the song to something most people have heard is the best way I can think of to pull this off. Perhaps the vocalist sounds a little like Bono but with a slightly higher register. Or the guitar is similar to the way Mark Knopfler plays. Perhaps you hear classical music influences. What if it's unlike anything you've ever heard you say?The English language is rich and varied. If you find exactly the right word, as opposed to using the next superlative or adjective in line, then you might be able to do a fair job. But even the best writer on the planet will never write words that evoke the same emotions as the sounds in the song for everyone.

Adding to Melodie Neal's answer (Bibliophilia), I'd like to extend it with a Japanese concept: 積ん読 (tsundoku) - an act of buying and piling up more and more books, without necessarily reading them all.The term was coined by the economist Inajiro Tajiri in 1901 and during the Meiji era had a negative connotation. The term has enjoyed revival in the recent couple of years after it was almost forgotten. Today the negativity is gone and the term carries more of an informative and / or humorous undertone to describe a book collector / book collector.

It's called 'meter' or 'metre'. Modern English poetry measures metre in feet, roughly analogous to the measures in music, and lines. A foot contains a certain number of spoken syllables, and the type of foot is determined by number of syllables and which syllable is stressed. (Generally only one syllable per foot is stressed, but there are exceptions.)Some common types of foot include the trochee (a foot of two syllables with the first one stressed, eg. "common"), and the iamb (also two syllables, stress on the second, eg. "destroy"). The type of foot, and the number of feet on a line, can give a name to poetry with a regular metre. For example, Shakespeare's plays are mostly in iambic pentameter: the iambs are the two-syllable feet, stress on the second syllable.  The "pentameter" part just says there are five such feet on each line.  Note that foot boundaries are not related to word boundaries:"(But soft!) (What light) (through  yon)(der win)(dow breaks?)"Just count the above. Five feet, two syllables each, second syllable emphasized. Who says the second syllable is emphasized? You do, when you read it. If it sounds natural to say it that way, the poet has done his job right, matching the natural rhythm of the language with the artificial rhythm of the poetry.  Try reading it with the first syllable of each foot louder instead! It should sound very wrong.Triple-syllable metres are also common in English poetry, though they're usually comic. Limericks, for example, use a foot with three syllables, emphasis on the middle one, called an amphibrach: |There once was | a man from | Nantucket ||Who kept all | his cash in | a bucket ||But his daugh |ter, named Nan, | *|Ran  away | with  a man |, *| And as for | the bucket, | Nantucket. |*The middle two lines have the third syllable of each foot emphasized instead, making these feet anapests. Other limericks would use amphibrachs here instead.This is within the acceptable variation of the form. Changing these feet to have the first syllable emphasized, or making them feet of two or four syllables, generally would break the form.Lots more on this topic at the Wikipedia page  Metre (poetry) .  Notice that this has nothing to do with rhyming or rhyme schemes -- rhyme is rhyme and rhythm is rhythm. A poem can be in a particular metre whether it rhymes or not.

Meter - The division of beats in a bar. The meter is defined by the top number in the time signature:Take 4/4 for instance, this is simple quadruple meter - which means the bar can be split into four distinct stressed beats.ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.In this meter, you can subdivide it as:ONE and, TWO and, THREE and, FOUR and...Or subdivide further into semi-quavers:ONE-po-ta-to, TWO-po-ta-to, THREE-po-ta-to, FOUR-po-ta-to...There are other meters such as:Duple: Bar can be divided into 2 stressed beats. (Marches) 2/2Triple: Bar can be divided into 3 stressed beats. (Waltzes) 3/4Compound: Bar can be divided into 2 dotted beats. (Tarantellas and Dances) 6/8Example of compound meter: ONE-da-da, TWO-da-da...Rhythm basically describes the 'motion' of the music. Where meter describes how many beats and which beats to stress - rhythm is the value of the notes in the passage and how the values relate to the meter.Here is an example of a dotted rhythm. The time signature (although not written) is 4/4. The rhythm of this passage will sound like this (meter written on top):1        +          2        +          3        +        4        +BAAAAA-da-BAAAAA-da-BA-daaaaa-BAAAAAAA.Perhaps not the best written example but I hope you get the meaning.Time signature defines how many beats there are in a bar and what note values you are subdividing by in each bar. As per the example at the top, the time signature has a top number and a bottom number.The top number defines the meter. (aka how many times you are subdividing)The bottom number defines the note value. The bottom number must always be equal and the numbers all relate to a note value:1 - Semibreve2 - Minim4 - Crotchet8 - Quaver16 - Semi-QuaverAnd so on...Notice how each note value is double the one before it.Back to time signature... If your time signature is 4/4, the bar will be subdivided into 4 crotchets.If your time signature is 6/8, the bar will be subdivided into 6 quavers (or simplified into 2 dotted crotchets).
