Words that rhyme with Concur
Start from the sound: concur is a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ vowel, and it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Pool data: the perfect column carries weight on its own, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance bucket is mid-sized. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Take the strict matches first; they have more range than the count suggests.

Why concur rhymes the way it does
The phonology of concur is a two-syllable core: the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 62 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 602, assonance 1,153, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Concur pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
