New Lyrics Writing Article - Doing Time, For 'forced-Rhymes'
Forced-rhymes are for new songwriters, something that just tends to happen by accident. They appear in songs with no real forethought other than "I need something to rhyme with this".
Rhymes of course appear in many forms and can be used in many ways. There are circumstances where forced-rhymes stand out like a sore thumb and others where although it is a forced-rhyme it somehow blends well with the song.
In his first article for Songstuff, Songstuff site author Jon Hanover takes a look at the usage of forced rhymes within song lyrics, why and when forced-rhymes work or don't work. He also discusses how you can use forced rhymes in a more subtle way so that they sit within your song more easily.
