Your notes · for Dad

  • — his chair still faces the bay
  • — his cap is still on the hook by the door
  • — he whistled the same tune doing every job
  • — kept every clock five minutes fast
  • — he taught me the knots and the tides

Our draft · verse one

Your chair by the firewindow still faces the bay,

your coatcap’s on the hook like you’re just away.

I think of youwhistle your tune when I’m out on the grass,

and I still keep the clocks on timefive minutes fast.

Now it could only be about him.Fine. But it could be about anyone.

The small things are the ones you miss

When someone is gone, it’s the details that stay: the chair by the window, the tune they whistled, the clocks they kept five minutes fast. A personalized memorial song gathers those details in one place, so they can be heard again. Tell us what they said, what they did and what you carry with you, and AI writes and sings a song in their memory. Take your time with the notes.

What to put in a memorial song

  • The thing they always said
  • Where they sat, and what they could see from there
  • What they taught you
  • The song they sang, hummed or whistled
  • What still makes you laugh about them
  • What you would tell them now

Hear it. See it.

Every song comes with its own cover photo. A music video made from your own photos can be added too.

This is a short sample. A finished song runs 2.5 to 3 minutes.

Questions people ask first.

Will the song be sad?

It will be what you ask for. Most people choose the heartfelt mood, which is warm more than sorrowful. If they were funny, choose “a bit of both” and the song can smile at the things they did.

How quickly can I have it?

The five previews are ready a few minutes after you send your notes, and the finished songs right after you’ve chosen and paid. If you need it for a service this week, there is time.

Can it mention their faith, or leave faith out?

Either. The song only says what your notes say. If their faith mattered to them, tell us. If it didn’t, the lyrics leave it out.

How much does a personalized song cost?

It costs $24.99. We write and record five songs from your story, and you hear a 15-second preview of each for free. You pay once you’ve chosen the two you want to keep, and a third comes as a gift. Each song has its own cover. A music video is an optional add-on for $34.99.

What do I need to tell you?

A few details in plain words: who the song is for, the occasion, and the memories, phrases and inside jokes that make them who they are. You also choose the style of music.

How does the music video work?

The music video is an add-on for $34.99. You upload your photos, choose a tall video for phones or a wide one for the TV, and pick one of twelve styles, from pencil sketch to claymation. The photos are redrawn in that style, animated, and cut to the length of the song. It is ready 2 to 4 hours after you order, sometimes sooner.

Are the songs written by AI?

Yes. AI writes the lyrics from the details you give us and performs the song. What makes it personal is your story: the names, places and moments in the lyrics all come from you.

How long is a song?

A finished song runs 2.5 to 3 minutes, and so does the music video if you add one. The samples on this site are short clips of 20 to 30 seconds.

We don’t write songs about love. We write songs about your dad’s chair by the window.
