Create My Song

Tell us about the person, occasion and memories behind the song. You do not need to know how to write lyrics or describe production — just give us the story in your own words.

The more specific the details, the more personal the finished song can feel.

Creative Direction & Revisions

Revision rounds are intended to refine the agreed creative direction. Tell us specifically what is not connecting — lyrics, vocal character, musical style, tempo, instrumentation, energy or overall feel. When a concept is not working, a revision may involve rewriting or recreating sections rather than making only cosmetic changes. A change to the core story or a completely different creative direction after work has begun may require a new version or additional work.

I understand how the included revision rounds apply to the agreed creative direction.

Anything Else?

Additional Notes

Submitting this questionnaire starts the creative conversation. It does not itself process payment or create a commercial-use licence. Shadow Lantern will review the information before production begins.
