Songwriting Tips - Learn The Easy Way To Write A Melody - StumbleUpon Get Your Free Songwriting E-Book What you should get from this section: The basics on how to write a melody. Some guidelines on things what to do, and what NOT to do, though remember that they are only guidelines, and there are no hard and fast rules. Now that we’ve covered creating an actual song structure, and we have a foundation in place, we’re going to need a melody line. For a melody to really work, it has to have some degree of repetition.

Being and Time, part 2: On mineness | Simon Critchley | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk As Heidegger makes clear from the untitled, opening page with which Being and Time begins, what is at stake in the book is the question of being. This is the question that Aristotle raised in an untitled manuscript written 2500 years ago, but which became known at a later date as the Metaphysics. For Aristotle, there is a science that investigates what he calls "being as such", without regard to any specific realms of being, eg the being of living things (biology) or the being of the natural world (physics). Metaphysics is the area of inquiry that Aristotle himself calls "first philosophy" and which comes before anything else. It is the most abstract, universal and indefinable area of philosophy. But it is also the most fundamental. With admirable arrogance, it is the question of being that Heidegger sets himself the task of inquiring into in Being and Time. The first line of the text proper of Being and Time is, "We are ourselves the entities to be analysed".
