"Chapter Four
'Would you say that rhythm is the soul of music, sir?'
Arlo regarded his pupil, unable to keep an afftectionate smile at bay. He remembered being jus like Nathan. A keen fourteen-year-old, happy to study but also keep to add personal philosphy to the dry curriculum. God, what a georgous day it was. Warm, too.
'I mean, Sir Savidge, sir,' Nathan said. 'Rhythm is the soul of music - wouldn't you say?' he repeated, dragging his teacher's gaze away from the view outside. 'But sir, if you put that kind of thing in your GCSE do you think the judges give you better marks?'
Judges. Sirs. Arlo changed his sigh into another smile and focused on the boy. 'I think the examiners would mark you higher if you said something along the lines of rhythm being the lifeblood of music, Nathan. Think of blood, all of you - how it pulses, how it pumps. If blood doesn't pump - if it ceases to pulse around our bodies - what are we?'
The class was silent.
'Come on, guys, what are we?'
The class loved it when their teacher called them 'guys'.
'Fish?' offered Lars
'Fish?' said his teacher.
'Fish are cold-blooded,' Lars muttered while the class began to snigger. 'Isn't that the same thing?'
'No no no,' Arlo said, thinking he ought to check it anyway with Mr Rose the biology teacher. 'I'm talking physically and metaphysically. Come on, guys, if our blood isn't being pumped then it's not pulsing around our body - then what are we?'
The boys gawped at him.
'We are dead!' he said.
There was a murmur, a gasp or two. Schoolboys love the word 'dead'.
'So, if the rhythm is the lifeblood of music, it must mean it is at the heart of it. Music needs rhythm to breathe its life into the listener - don't you think?'

Don't you agree, guys?
Rhythm is at the heart of music. Rhythm is the lifeblood of music. Music needs rhythm to breathe its life into the listener
wow.
well it would all work out if i was good at rhythm...
