Q: epic songs, epic melody, but why do you make some part of the lyrics dont rhyme, i mean, you said have instead of had in the money video
A: i think rhyming the entire word all the way up to every last consonant sound usually sounds pretty bad, and tends to feel empty. it seems to feel much much more meaningful to me when only the vowel sound is the same, and the rest of the word sounds different. and in some cases i am open to using a completely different sounding word because sometimes i think that sounds the best and has the most meaningful impact. If the words rhyme too well then i think as a listener i would get the sense that the writer doesn't even care what the words mean. But if the word sounds slightly different the next time around, then you get a nice feeling of growth and change
