Song guide
Songs for your family
Family songs work best when they hold small, specific things: a phrase someone always says, a kitchen smell, a drive that took too long.

How to approach this group
Start from one memory only the two of you share, then widen to what that memory says about the person. Keep names and nicknames in the lyrics, and decide early whether the song is a thank you, a tribute or a joke they will recognize.
Guides in this group
- How to write a song for your mom
Write it about one thing she did that you only understood later, and say thank you through that story. A song for your mom needs a warm melody, plain words and one detail she will recognize as hers.
- How to write a song for your dad
Many dads show care through actions, so build the song around something he did rather than something he said. Keep the language plain, the tempo steady and the chorus short enough to remember.
- How to write a song for your grandma
Build it from her stories and her kitchen. A song for a grandmother should be unhurried, warm and full of the small rituals she is known for, such as recipes, sayings and the way she greets you.
- How to write a song for your sister
Sibling songs are allowed to be funny. Lead with an inside joke or a shared childhood scene, then let one sincere line land in the bridge.
- How to write a song for your daughter
Write to the person she is now and the person you hope she keeps becoming. Name a quality you see in her, tell one small scene that shows it, and end with a promise rather than advice.
- How to write a song for your son
Pick one trait you are proud of and one moment that proves it, then close with a line he can carry with him. Keep the tone encouraging, not instructive.
