Through the tears, through the rain
Through the sorrow, through MY BRAIN...

Guess I'm fond of that ".03%"..BUT you CAN make a Perfect Rhyme that IS on the Un-expected Side. (&..JMO..if it's on the Comedic Side, you'll have a better chance of getting away with it.)

I've cured my Urge to discuss the Gestalt of Rhyming by Googling "Gestalt"..then "Wilhelm Wundt"..then Structural Linguistics" this AM.

Instead, let's briefly analyze the Rhymes in Jason Aldean's recent Big Hig, "Big Green Tractor", which Marc mentioned had $20K worth of rented Tractors perched around the circumference of Nashville to properly Hype It recently...

V1 Down/out/around/(in)...
V2 Hair/somewhere/care/(here)...

CH Tractor/faster/pasture/matter
Want to/on to/rather/tractor...

V3 Around/down/out/house

(CH Repeats)

BR Seat/me/(yeah)...

(CH Repeats)

Tag Town/around/(yeah)...

NONE of these Rhymes are all THAT great an "Intellectual Stretch." Tractor/Faster/Pasture/Matter... 3-outta-4 are on the "Perfect" side in that All-Important Chorus. The Overall MAJORITY here ARE on the "Perfect Side."

Yeah, Taylor Swift IS prolly The Next-Big-Thing...BUT..Simple-Sounding "Simple" Songs STILL Sell to Many of Us Simpler-Folks/Ignore it at your peril.

&..I'd expect to hear "boots/roots" for a long time to come.

Hear's Hopin'!
Big Hugs,
