Words that rhyme with Erich
Approached as a common-tongue word, erich is a two-syllable core sitting on the short /ɪ/ — which lands on a rare affricate consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, no family-rhyme matches turn up, the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Take the lyric role separately and it's a workaday word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why erich rhymes the way it does
Erich sits on the clipped /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and ends on an affricate snap. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 7,070, and consonance 148. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Erich rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
