Why sandstone rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for sandstone starts at the vowel โ the long /oส/, IPA /o/ โ and ends where the line lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 6,683, and consonance 1. 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. Sandstone rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
