Words that rhyme with Apparently
Singers reaching for apparently find a word everyone uses on the surface and a four-syllable core on the tight /ษช/ underneath โ one that doesn't close on a consonant at all. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. It serves as an unguarded everyday word in most lyrics. Search rhymes for apparently long enough and you notice the pattern: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, the family column is blank, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why apparently rhymes the way it does
To understand why apparently rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 84, assonance 13,649, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Apparently rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
