Personalized Songs

This is an in-depth description of the work which goes into our
custom song package. For information on how our template package works, please click here.
 

Firstly:
The Lyric Process

 


Personalized Songs from Give-a-song.com

All the information you have sent is reviewed and pored over by your singer-songwriter. Every detail you have given will go towards the lyric process. This is where your writer will analyse your information and start to write the lyrics for your song - in the style that you have requested. For instance, some of the information you have given us might be this:

'The first time we met was when she came for an interview for a job at a company where I was a manager. It was in Howell Park, and I interviewed her for the job'.

Your songwriter would then use this information to write lyrics such as these:

Howell Park was the first time I saw you.
I’d never seen such beauty at an interview.
With that smile, who else could I employ?
You’d turned the manager into a wide-eyed boy.

This is only a small example - three to six verses, as well as choruses, are normally written, as it is important to have as many lyrics as possible
to create a truly personalised song.

As you can see from this small example, every single lyric we write is personal to you, written from the details you have given us.

During this process, your songwriter will be in constant contact with you via email - making sure any other details you might have forgotten to give at the time of ordering is included, and prompting you for any more info which might help write the perfect personalised song.

Although we normally write all the lyrics, if you have any you would like us to use - perhaps a poem you've written, start of a song, or even a song title - we will gladly incorporate them into your personalised song.
 

Secondly:
The Music

Personalized Songs from Give-a-song.com

While the lyrics are being written, your songwriter will also be working on the original music for your song. This is done simultaneously with the lyric writing, as it is important the lyrical style fits the musical style.

Absolutely no two songs are alike: Totally original music will be written for your song. This will include writing a main melody, multiple harmonies, acoustic guitar accompaniment, second and sometimes third or four extra guitar parts. Listen to samples of previous customers' songs to get an idea.

Once the first drafts of the lyrics and music have been written, your songwriter will re-examine every aspect and fine-tune your song. It is still not too late at this stage if you want to tell us any extra details you'd like included - we are always only an email away.
 
Thirdly:
Recording process

 


Personalized Songs from Give-a-song.com

Once we are happy your song has been written to the best possible standard, the recording process will begin. Using the latest in digital recording technology, your singer-songwriter will start to record your song. The utmost attention and care will be taken to record perfect vocals, harmonies, and guitar parts.
 
Fourthly:
Mixing

 

 


Personalised Songs from Give-a-song.com

Once all the different parts have been recorded, and we are totally satisfied that they are perfect, we will begin to mix your song. This process ensures that the final song will sound great by fine-tuning the balance, volume, reverb, panning and overall sound levels of all the different parts that make up your song. The end result is a professional sound recording, ready to be put on to CD.
 
Fifthly:
CD/MP3 production
 



We offer a few different delivery options for your song: You can receive your song on CD, have an MP3 Webpage, or a combination of both. If you have chosen to upload or email us a photo we will display this on your CD presentation case cover, back and label, and/or on your unique MP3 Webpage. This further personalization of your song is totally FREE. However, if you don't wish to send a photo, we will still produce a great looking CD/MP3 Webpage with stock photos of our own. Your chosen personal message will be typed on the back of the presentation case (CD), or on your MP3 Webpage, with the song lyrics included as a presentation sheet with the CD, or displayed on your MP3 Webpage.
 
Lastly:
