“true” in a lyric: two examples

Grandpa says one look and he just knew;
sixty years later, it's still true.

We only know three chords, and none are new,
but when we play them loud, they're true.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 1 syllable (you, to, and do) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (overdue and kangaroo) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “true” sounds forced, move “true” inside the line and end it on another word.
