Built for remembrance
A tribute song should feel personal, respectful, and easy to share.
This page helps you start from the details that matter most: who they were, what your family remembers, and the tone you want the song to carry.
Use details, not polished lyrics
Names, places, phrases, routines, and tone boundaries give the song better material than a generic message ever could.
Keep the SongOnlyOne promise clear
The final track should reflect a song that could not belong to anyone else and arrive ready to share, gift, or keep private.
Confidence before you order
Know what you are getting before production starts.
A custom song needs trust before payment. These details show how your brief becomes a personal finished song, when it arrives, and what is included.
Brief prompts that reduce generic wording
The order flow asks for the recipient, story, tone, must-include details, and what to avoid before production starts.
Made for the moment you choose
Whether it is private, family-facing, or part of an event, the one-of-one custom song is shaped around the reveal setting.
Clear delivery and revision path
Standard delivery is 7 days, with two free revision rounds if something important needs adjustment.

Songs That Became a Place to Put the Grief
The Ways That Last

"We played it at the service and I watched a room full of people who had been holding themselves together all morning finally stop. It said what none of us could find the words to say. She would have recognized herself in every line."

"I did not make this for a ceremony. I made it for myself, a few months after. Describing him in specific detail — what he fixed, what he cooked, what he said on Sunday mornings — felt like a way of making him real again. The song gave me back a version of him I could return to."

"My brother died at 34. I wanted to make something that captured who he actually was, not a sanitized version of him. The song got the humor right and the heartbreak right and never confused them. That is who he was. The song knew that."

Songs That Held What Words Could Not
These examples were made for real people, with specific details, specific memories, and specific losses. Not generic grief — their particular person.
Margaret & Her Family
New Orleans, LA
Memorial service song for mother
Margaret described her mother through sensory details — the specific scent of her kitchen, a phrase she said that no one else used, the way she looked when she laughed. The song was played at the service. Halfway through, a room full of people who had been composed since morning finally had permission to grieve.

Thomas Ashford
Louisville, KY
Personal tribute, made months after loss
Thomas did not make this for a ceremony. He made it for himself, when he was ready. He described his father through the specific textures of ordinary days — what tools were on the workbench, the exact way he took his coffee, what he said when he was proud of someone but could not quite say it directly.

Nina Larson
Minneapolis, MN
Song for younger brother who passed at 34
Nina wanted a song that captured her brother honestly — not a cleaned-up version, but the real person. She described his specific humor, the things only his family would know, and the exact kind of gap he left. The song got the tone right: real grief and real love for the same specific man.
