Why galaxy rhymes the way it does
The phonology of galaxy is a three-syllable core: the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 6,646, and consonance 28. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Galaxy rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
