Read the lyricsAn original Songilingy example with a fictional story.
For my older sister Rachel, from Finn. When I was scared of the deep end she climbed back into the pool beside me. She waited outside my new school until the bell. Now she is nervous about opening her bookshop. I have kept the invitation and I will be her first customer. I want to thank her and give her a bit of courage.
Choose music they would actually put on. It can be warm soul, country or something loud and full of drums.
Songilingy turns your memories and message into an original song with sung vocals. Read and edit the lyrics before the music is made.
A parent’s song for a grown son
A loved one is often family. In this acoustic soul example, a mother writes to her son in the week he moves into his first apartment.
Porch Light
A mother's song for her grown son's first apartment
She packs the last box and notices his cereal bowl is gone from the sink. The song remembers the school-coat zipper she mended twice and the voice notes he sends walking home from a late shift, and it tells him to go and build his own life.
The detail it is built on: The porch light she still leaves on.

Do I need a birthday or another occasion?
No. You can make a song just because you want someone to hear it. Tell us your relationship and what you want to say; there doesn't need to be a date attached.
Can I write or change the lyrics myself?
Yes. Review and edit the draft before making the music, or use lyrics you've already written. Plain language is fine. Familiar details matter more than finding a rhyme yourself.
Can I fix words or a name after buying?
Yes. Three lyric or pronunciation revisions are included. Each uses the original recording as a reference to keep the sound close, though music and vocal delivery can change. You can keep the original too.
Will they need an account to hear their gift?
No. They can open the reveal link and play the song without signing in. The page is unlisted, but anyone with its link can open it. Share it with the people you intend.
