A memorial song for dad or mom, from what you remember.
A memorial song for dad or mom starts with what you remember: the way they laughed, the place they were happiest, the thing they always said. AI writes the lyrics from those memories and an AI voice sings them. We say that plainly because it matters here. You read every line, change anything that isn't them, and hear a free preview before you decide anything.

The Workshop Light
Piano Ballad · 3:00
“Walt, I left the light on
Out in the shop tonight”
For Walt, in memory, from his daughter. Read the lyrics
Memories to start from
Small, true details carry a memorial song further than big words. Any one of these is enough:
- The place you picture them in: a workshop, a garden, a kitchen, a driver's seat.
- A phrase they said so often the family still quotes it.
- Something they made, fixed or grew that you still have.
- A song they whistled, a team they cheered for, a meal they always cooked.
- What you'd tell them about your life now, if you could.
Songs for people we made up
These people are made up. The music and the voice come from the same AI that sings your song.
The Workshop Light
For Walt, in memory, from his daughter. Built on: his workshop, and the bookshelf he built crooked on purpose.
Read the lyrics
Verse 1
A pencil tucked behind your ear
The ball game turned down low
You'd measure twice and cut once
And hum the songs you didn't know
Chorus
Walt, I left the light on
Out in the shop tonight
Your coffee can of crooked nails
Still sitting on the right
Verse 2
You built my bookshelf crooked
On purpose, so you said
"So you'll always know it's yours"
It's standing by my bed
Chorus
Walt, I left the light on
Out in the shop tonight
Your coffee can of crooked nails
Still sitting on the right
Bridge
I don't have your steady hands
I still can't saw a line
But I fixed the gate this morning
And I measured three times
Chorus
Walt, I left the light on
Out in the shop tonight
Your coffee can of crooked nails
Still sitting on the right
Your Recipe Box
For Ruth, in memory, from her son. Built on: her recipe box, and the notes she wrote in the margins.
Read the lyrics
Verse 1
Your recipe box by the window
The lid that never shut
Your writing on a butter stain
"Add more" and "just a touch"
Chorus
Ruth, I baked your bread today
It came out flat and brown
But the kitchen smelled like Sunday
And for a while you were around
Verse 2
You called me every Thursday
Just to ask what I had eaten
I'd say "a real dinner, Mom"
You'd say "I know you're cheating"
Chorus
Ruth, I baked your bread today
It came out flat and brown
But the kitchen smelled like Sunday
And for a while you were around
Bridge
I don't keep it for the recipes
I can't cook half of them
I keep it for the margins
Where you wrote my name in pen
Chorus
Ruth, I baked your bread today
It came out flat and brown
But the kitchen smelled like Sunday
And for a while you were around

Quiet styles that leave room for the words
Most memorial songs are slow and simple. Three styles to hear, about 40 seconds each:
Piano Ballad
Just piano and a voice, close and tender. Female voice.
Folk / Singer-Songwriter
Fingerpicked and honest, like a letter. Male voice.
Hymn / Gospel
Soft organ, a lifted, hopeful choir. Female voice.
Made with AI, and we say so
Some people feel strongly about AI and grief, and that's fair. Nothing here pretends otherwise: AI writes the lyrics from what you tell us, and an AI voice sings them. There is no human singer. What makes the song theirs is the memories you bring, and nothing is sung until you've approved every line.
If you share it with family, tell them how it was made. Nobody should find out later.
For the funeral, the anniversary or a slideshow
A memorial song can play at the service or the gathering after it, on the anniversary of their death, on what would have been their birthday, or under a photo slideshow. You get two full versions as MP3 files, so it plays from a phone, a laptop or the venue's speakers. Check with the venue that they can play an MP3 before the day.
You can also make one just for yourself, to listen to on your own.
Sharing it with brothers and sisters
Siblings often remember different things. Ask each of them for one detail before you start, and put them all in. Every song comes with a private gift link, so the whole family can hear it from one message instead of a file passed around.
No rush, and nothing to buy first
There's no countdown and no sales pitch. Your first preview is free: 40 seconds of each version, with their name and your words. If something isn't right, rewrite the lines or come back another day. If it is, both full versions are $6.99, paid once.

Questions people ask
Is it strange to have AI sing about someone who died?
Some people think so, and it's your call. AI shapes the words and the voice, but every memory in it comes from you, and nothing is sung until you've read and approved each line. If you'd rather a person wrote it, that's a good choice too.
Can one song be about both my mom and my dad?
Yes. Choose one of them in the questionnaire and tell us about the other in the details: how they met, the house they shared, what they were like together.
Can I leave things out?
Yes. The questionnaire has a place for anything the song should avoid, like the illness, a hard year or a name. You also read the lyrics and can remove any line before it's sung.
Can I play it at the funeral?
Yes. Your license covers personal use, which includes a funeral, a memorial service or a family gathering. It doesn't cover uploading the song to streaming services.
What does a memorial song cost?
Hearing it costs nothing: your first preview is free. The full song, in two versions, is $6.99, paid once.
Can I hear my own song before I pay?
Yes. Your first song's preview is free: you read and edit the lyrics, we sing them in two versions, and you hear 40 seconds of each, with their name and your words, not a stock demo. No payment needed. If you love it, unlock the full song for $6.99 and download both versions as full-length MP3s. After that, each new song uses a credit.
How much does it cost?
Your first preview is free. A song costs $6.99, or less in a pack: 2 songs for $11.99, or 5 for $24.99. You pay once, with no subscription. One credit makes one song, in two versions. See Pricing.
How long does it take?
Telling us about them takes about three minutes. The lyrics usually arrive within a minute or two, and the song is usually ready within five minutes of pressing Sing, so it works for a same-day gift. We email you when it's ready, so you can close the tab.
Is a real person singing?
No. The lyrics are written by AI from your answers, and the song is sung by an AI voice. That's how we can make an original song for one person in minutes, for a few dollars. You read and edit every line before it's sung, and you hear a free preview before you pay.
Can I use the song commercially?
Your song is for personal use: play it at the party, send it to family and friends, and post it on your own social accounts. It isn't licensed for commercial use, like ads, resale or music streaming services. See the License.
