What happened to the days of where somethings did not rhyme but was plugged with another word? Like Johnny Cash, Journey, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and others. Even if they did it it doesn’t sound so blatent. Did Mozart and Behtoven do it back then?

    I make music, and I have a maths degree, and I understand this claim (e.g. harmony is ratios, rhythms are time divisions), but it’s not really actually useful. And lots of the best music does a lot of weird stuff that breaks the mathiness (e.g. microrhythms, groove, microtones, borrowed chords, etc. etc.).
