Rhythm is Gonna Get You

 Feeling the "GROOVE" - What is rhythm?
 
I often heard people saying, "feel the groove". What is a groove? It is a "feel" which the energetic rhythm of the song gives. In this respect, I think rhythms of the song is also an important part of the song which makes people to listen to the song and to get addicted to the song.

So, getting to know about what rhythm is, the word rhythm comes from the Greek word ‘Rhien’ which means to flow or stream; "rhythm is basically a placement of sounds in time".
