Tip of the Week

Although lyrics may rhyme, there is no reason that they have to. If you choose to rhyme your lyrics, be consistent and rhyme all lines (donīt mix and match rhyming and non-rhyming lines). However, when rhyming, be donīt just put words in a phrase because they rhyme; think about the actual meaning you are trying to get across. Just because words sound neat together doesnīt mean that they make good lyrics. In addition, to avoid being tiresome and predictable, be wary of employing over-used rhymes, such as "love/above" or "heart/apart."
