Why daniels rhymes the way it does
Daniels is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the singing /iห/, then it lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 32 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 430, assonance 9,427, and consonance 59. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Daniels pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
