I never post here, but I've used that site on probably 50 songs, lol. If you already know about it and think this is a stupid post, you're probably right, lol.

Peace,

I just tried "orange"

It could have given me "lozenge" but it didnt -- just said "Sorry, nothing rhymes"

hehehe...you know, I'm in Texas...a state that allows some pretty liberal rhyming in general...you know, words like:

"door" and "battle cruiser" LOL.

...and even HERE, I don't think "orange" and "lozenge" rhyme very well. The "find similar sounding words" option produced some results...none of which I've ever actually heard of before, but such is life. And yeah, I wouldn't try "purple" either.

Well I'll be damned...there IS a rhyme for "purple"

hirple

[Jagular]

LMAO…your next assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a song using the word “hirple”.

This message will self destruct in 60 seconds.

... I always thought the true secret to great songwriting was at the bottom af a bottle of Jack Daniels... or shoudl I say somewhere near the middle? By the time I hit the bottom I can't find my fingers let alone the frets :P

You can also access the rhyming dicitionary, an online dicitionary and thesaurus, and an online guitar chord finder through the "SFPublic Library" page of my songwriting website located at: http://www.songwriterforums.com/library.htm

Yeah, good ol' Roger Miller could rhyme anything...including purple, although even for him that was a stretch:

maple syruple?

Door hinge is the best rhyme for orange I've ever heard. If you say it quick it works really well.

Okay- this may be lame

But I've written a song called "Nothing Rhymes with Orange" for my next Children's record. It's my favorite color, and in a brainstorming session I decided I hadn't any color songs...

and it was born


Interesting post


Keep it up

Not lame.... Could you post it in the mp3 clinic when it's done? I'd like to hear it.

[Chrisjob]

I imagine I'll post all of em once they're recorded..

I'm still in the writing and sequencing stage- I've decided I'm gonna get the songs written and arranged while I save up for a gear upgrade, then I'll start tracking the live instruments.

Thanks for the interest,
Chris

I'm sure I'm not him, lol. I wish my name was like "Aquilla Champale Marosa"... there are just too damned many "Chris Harrises" who aren't me, lol.
