Want to know what rhymes with overtaking?
If you’re a songwriter, a quick search online will throw up thousands of different words and expressions that rhyme
In fact, people have been publishing rhyming dictionaries for more than a hundred years
But are these the best rhymes for songwriters? I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to choose between “thieve” and “breach” (which do not rhyme), I’ll always choose “thieve”
Why? Well, we as songwriters are looking for singable words that sound good together in songs
The main factor we look at is how they sound when we say them or sing them, rather than just looking at how they look on a page — and this is what sets us apart from other types of writers
That's what we've done with Chorus!
