English rhyming utility

[Paul881]

I know this isn't a Cakewalk issue but the following resource is a good utility to find english rhyming words for your songs. THought I would share it with you all. It just got me out of a difficult hole. Couldn't find a word to rhyme with "cat". It came up with "Mat"

http://www.rhymer.com

You can buy the product or use it online for free

And it works well in songs used by Sonar too!ACKUS

And of course you have Rhyme from AnalogX which is completely free and downloadable...

 

[Paul881]

Er....no......but I do now Thanks for the heads up. Who knows, maybe I'll write a winning song this afternoon (beats working, as you well know )

 

[moskus]

If you know how to write good lyrics, give me some pointers!

Hmmmm...that's pretty neat.

I don’t use a rhyming dictionary often…but when I do I usually go to www.rhymzone.com

 

[moskus]

I can give you one in Norwegian if you want it...

 

[guitar ed]

Do Norwegian words rhyme? I have the analogX rhyme thingy. They have words in there that I ain't never heard of!! They do rhyme, though.

That's great Paul....

it's good to know you took up english as a second language.

Wow.

Aint Got Time For Rhyme...

Point of order Mr Chairman!

Lyrics don't necessarily have to rhyme. Check out America by Simon & Garfunkel. Great song in 3/4 time and nary a rhyme in sight.

I've part written a couple of songs that don't rhyme (I suppose you'd call it prose - or maybe just crap )

I think so long as you have the rhythm & meter it's academic whether or not it rhymes.

To quote Paul Simon, "You should never let rhyming get in the way of a good lyric".

*looks at himself*

FAT!



I agree with Bluesmeister and Paul Simon, btw

(sing in dutch, and no one notices)

Oh yes they do. Lyrics that don't rhyme at some part of the song, can't be classified as lyrics at all! I know that much about lyrics...

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America



AHA!!! Pies! Spy! Why!!! That blows your theory all to hell, Mr. BluesMeister. Although, I admit the rhyming pattern in this one was a little difficult to discern.

Great song, btw. One of my all time favorites.

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"

Best part of the whole song!

I agree...but I'm always amazed at songs that do have a rhyme scheme that doesn't seem to get in the way. Those are are just a step above IMHO (my taste of course). That being said...you can't argue with Simon & Garfunkel. Of course it depends on the genre sometimes too. I've been known to take a liberty or two with rhymes (not that I'm any expert) .

BluesMeister Rises To The Bait...

Pies! Spy! Why!!! That blows your theory all to hell, Mr. BluesMeister.

(Adopts John Wayne drawl) Not so fast Mister!

You're finding rhyming words from differening verses in the song!

Pies rhymes with Saginaw?
Not from where I come from!

Pies
Saginaw
Magazine
Turnpike

As for Spy, yes, it rhymes - but it's taken from the bridge passage, not the main verses...

I rest my case your honour. Game set and match. Next contestant please!

Aaah, some of you were lucky having English as your native language. As for me, English is my 5th language. No wonder it's very difficult for me to pair matching words. So, don't ask me the rhyme for Saginaw... You'll get.... Vagina from me


what was the rhyme for the word "moskus" Jaymz ?

....uuummmh ...Smoked Salmon

... Yeah, they look close, but...naaah

 

[moskus]

ROFLMAO!!!!

 

[snibbel]

rhymezone can be quite a good tool as well.
