Hey Kevin.....Rhymes are rhymes and are used in all genres of music. My point was more generally aimed at the suggestion that we study Taylor swift as we all have something to learn from her. It sums up the Blues Bros quote "we play both kinds of music here...... both Country and Western" I was just reminding the type who assume that everybody writes and listens to only country that there are writers from ALL genres of music who use this site and country is NOT the be all.
As for Boys Like Girls "Thunder" I had never heard of them or the song till you mentioned it. Having heard it I have not missed out on much but at least it is not country.
I was intrigued by you mentioning Thunder as Thunder are a great British rock band and pals of mine. Now they are a band worth checking out.
Back to my original point you will find that country music DOES have its own peculiar foibles including rhyming which does not always crossover well into other sorts of music.
