Idea

In philosophy, ideas are usually construed as mental representational images of some object. Ideas can also be abstract concepts that do not present as mental images. Many philosophers have considered ideas to be a fundamental ontological category of being. The capacity to create and understand the meaning of ideas is considered to be an essential and defining feature of human beings. In a popular sense, an idea arises in a reflexive, spontaneous manner, even without thinking or serious reflection, for example, when we talk about the idea of a person or a place. A new or original idea can often lead to innovation."

Etymology

The word idea comes from Greek ἰδέα idea "form, pattern," from the root of ἰδεῖν idein, "to see."

Innate and adventitious ideas

One view on the nature of ideas is that there exist some ideas (called innate ideas) which are so general and abstract that they could not have arisen as a representation of any object of our perception, but rather were in some sense always present. These are distinguished from adventitious ideas which are images or concepts which are accompanied by the judgment that they are caused or occasioned by an external object.

Motif (music)

In music, a motif  (pronunciation)  or motive is a short musical idea, a salient recurring figure, musical fragment or succession of notes that has some special importance in or is characteristic of a composition: "The motive is the smallest structural unit possessing thematic identity".

The Encyclopédie de la Pléiade regards it as a "melodic, rhythmic, or harmonic cell", whereas the 1958 Encyclopédie Fasquelle maintains that it may contain one or more cells, though it remains the smallest analyzable element or phrase within a subject. It is commonly regarded as the shortest subdivision of a theme or phrase that still maintains its identity as a musical idea. "The smallest structural unit possessing thematic identity". Grove and Larousse also agree that the motif may have harmonic, melodic and/or rhythmic aspects, Grove adding that it "is most often thought of in melodic terms, and it is this aspect of the motif that is connoted by the term 'figure'."

A harmonic motif is a series of chords defined in the abstract, that is, without reference to melody or rhythm. A melodic motif is a melodic formula, established without reference to intervals. A rhythmic motif is the term designating a characteristic rhythmic formula, an abstraction drawn from the rhythmic values of a melody.

    Idea

    by: Asheru

    [Beep]
    {Yo, what's up bro, I'm just callin' to let you know what's up
    All is good, all is swell over here, I responded to your e-mail
    So you know, you can check that, and I got you a little gift
    It's called a narghilè, when you get to town
    But when you get it, man, breathe easy, you know, don't kill yourself}
    A worn rhyme book made of suede leather
    Letters on the page light as a feather, but... [x3]
    Heavy as they come I become one with the drum
    Cymbal-tongue, very few can do it better...
    A worn rhyme book made of suede leather
    Letters on the page light as a feather, but
    Heavy as they come I become one with the drum
    Cymbal-tongue, very few can do it better
    Now, I've been known to do my thing on the mic here and there
    Some local some faraway from home
    And every place that I've flown
    You ask the people that were there and they tell you how the spot was blown
    [Agent 006:]
    More like blown to bits, the way the bass hits
    Thump it in your trunk, I suggest usin' nothin' less than fifteen-inch
    Surreal surround, the bass pounds, the highs pierce
    Similar to being punched and pinched
    The way I describe this is inexplicable, something like a miracle
    Absolute bliss, while you were sleeping we accomplished this
    Here to make the constipated say that's the shit
    [Chorus:]
    I got an idea that I wanna share
    You don't like it, so what?, I don't care
    Throw your hands up, keep em in the air,
    Don't wanna roll with' it? fuck up outta here!
    We only rockin' for the live ones (right here!) [x2]
    I got an idea, that I wanna share
    You don't like it, so what? I don't care
    [Asheru:]
    Just spit to make the people take a pause
    The result is applause and dropped jaws
    Yes y'alls ain't enough these days
    I'll believe it when I see your hands raised, where they at now?
    That's better, didn't have to persuade ya'
    In the band you know I played the drum major
    Teenagers to old timers with Alzheimer's
    Thugs, scholars, tree-huggers and wall climbers, let's go!
    To a different direction on your selection
    I'm only glowing your reflection
    And if you leave here knowing, then half the battle's already won
    I'm glad we makin' a connection
    B.M.I.G., you know the mantra, ya' know Bob Marley Inhaled Ganja
    Ya' know that to lock in me in the lab with the same and a pad and a pen
    The finished product is bonkers
    [Agent 006:]
    This beat I designed for you to wiggle your butt
    Put the CD on repeat and rock on
    No matter if you're anorexic or you've got a gut
    Put on a show for me, (effort? The pop core? empty the popcorn?)
    Now no squares allowed {because we're havin a ball}
    We do it for the yay-high {and the ten feet tall}
    Everybody [in the place] get up off the wall
    [Asheru:]
    Have you ever been to your local venue to see a show that just ain't no good?
    [I mean the bammer on stage, he rhyming nonsense nonstop and you wish he would]
    So now you mad at your peoples for settin' you ass up and sayin' this was the place to be
    {To make the situation worse your friend knew the artist so, nigga, you coulda got in free}
    And just when you think you gotta head for the door and go back from whence you came
    You see your boy getting put in a yoke, and first you think it's a joke
    But then you know it ain't a game, when they say...
    [Chorus:]
    I got an idea, that I wanna share
    You don't like it, so what? I don't care
    Throw your hands up, keep em in the air
    Don't wanna roll with it, fuck up outta here!
