Why remedy rhymes the way it does
Remedy is built around the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's three-syllable and leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 126, assonance 15,580, and consonance 99. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Remedy rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
