The Song

Coming soon

What if their story could become an original song?

Not their favourite song. A new one — written and performed by people — about a life your family described in their own words.

The Song is coming soon. There is nothing to reserve and no release to announce; when it exists, we'll say so plainly.

Families already remember in music.

A phrase they always said. The way a story is told out loud, with the pauses left in. Song is what happens when those pieces are given to writers and musicians instead of a page. Written by people, performed by people — that is the whole point of it.

What a song could be made from.

Illustrative creative territory, not a description of how a song would be written.

  • A phrase they always said
  • A place everyone in the family remembers
  • A relationship that defined years of their life
  • A tradition nobody ever skipped
  • A turning point
  • A photograph with a story behind it
  • The same day told by four different people
  • The emotional texture of a life

Your family can already record memories in their own voices inside Recollective. How something is said is part of the story.

You don't have to wait for it to begin.

Everything these creations would ever draw from — the memories, the photographs, the recorded voices, the different perspectives — is what your family gathers now, at no cost. Starting a project doesn't purchase or reserve anything.

One family story. More than one way to bring it to life.

The Book is available today. The Painting and the Song are creations we are building next. Whichever one your family eventually wants, it starts the same way — with the story.
