    Want to know what rhymes with starkness?

    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!

    These are just a few of our rhymes. If you want to discover all the ways you can express yourself with Chorus, sign up for the full version now.
