french_disko Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I've learned today that no-one on Ab-Music is particularly good at rhymes. This is not a good sign for those that are songwriters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 If someone rhymed frothing with nothing in a song, I would question the lyrical content more than the rhyme.They certainly rhyme though.A full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both wordsBoth have -othing.

soundian Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 If someone rhymed frothing with nothing in a song, I would question the lyrical content more than the rhyme.They certainly rhyme though.Both have -othing. You can only really consider the -thing part, because you have two different pronunciations of -o-. They do rhyme though, but the rhyme is on an unstressed syllable so it is considered "feminine".

Soda Jerk Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 If I say both words, outloud, but removing the N and the FR from each word respectively, the -othing sounds exactly the same both times. Not sure how the pronunciation of the O is allegedly different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 -irple-urpleAnother half rhyme, I'd say.But if the vowel sound is the same, which is is in this case, then it is still a 'full' rhyme.Unless I say Purple and Hirple differently to you lot as well.

The last vowel sound is the -pill at the end. It rhymes regardless of how you pronounce the hir- or the pur- parts. What people are forgetting here is that it's the last vowel sound on the last syllable that's important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well that's true for an "improper rhyme", otherwise that rule would suggest "something" rhymes with "nothing" which it doesn't completely. A perfect rhyme must have identical vowel sounds throughout the entire word.The first vowel sound in Purple and Hirple are the same though, right? I'm not saying them in some strange Yorkshire twang, am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Incorrect. I love a good rhyme, not to mention an in depth discussion about what does and doesn't rhyme. probably explains why I'm so good at rapping. One love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
