Why is a "near rhyme" so bad? What's wrong with that? My songs have near rhymes in them because it "keeps it real". I'm not forcing anything, I'm writing straight from the heart (no books! LOL) and the last time I checked, hundreds of hits contained near rhymes. It's not bad at all Polly... The skill is in making it sound smooth like it belongs. In songs where the voice is the most important instrument... the words used need to have sounds that enhance the auditory experience just like playing the correct notes on all the instruments in the mix.. most ears will pick if one is off key a bit... It's kinda like playing Sudko... most of us can get most of the lines looking right but because the patten isn't quite right it isn't complete. We can get by ... by using a few guidelines that work most times... however you don't need any of them if you can tell your story in the right key, with the right melody, where each word sound is in just the place along with all the other instruments having their note sounds in just the right place... and so on... BTW Like singing ... Any skill that is good naturally can be better with knowledge and training.  Cheers

Of course, Slurple rhymes with Purple. Just use it sparingly and no one will notice... unless you try to incorporate it into an opera... LOL!

Like (being conversational, as it were):
My bed's too big, the sheets are purple, An' it's way too much for a gal to slurple; I left my number on the wall, But it's been three weeks and no one's called; If you'd just visit, you could see My bed's too big--come rescue me.

Joe, that sounded way to porn!  Exactly, Noel, you just articulated (better than I) what I was trying to say! Thank you sir! Check's in the mail!

Polly, I know. And it is not necessary to be sleazy in order to be conversational. But sometimes it helps.

"We are all millionaires, billionaires even, because right now we have today. And today is worth more than all the wealth we can imagine. So spend today wisely. Spend tomorrow wisely. Enjoy the wealth of today, and realize it is worth far more than all the money and possessions of tomorrow and beyond." -Brian Austin Whitney
