A song for your sister, about her

There are plenty of songs about sisters. This one has her name in the chorus, the street you grew up on in the first verse, and the thing she got you through, in the music she plays.

A song for your sister is an original song written from what you tell us about her: where you grew up, what she was like as a kid, what she carried for the family, the thing you have never said out loud, set to music in the style she likes. At BeatJar you type the story, read every lyric we write from it, hear the first 45 seconds of her song, and pay only if it is right.

Most writing about sisters reaches for a type: the best friend, the rival, the second mother. The stories people send us never fit one. They are a garden full of yellow flowers, a move to London, a wedding where somebody is missing, a Christmas shopping trip that will not happen again.

Sisters and brothers made the songs on this page: one for a birthday, one for a wedding, one for a sister who has passed. Play one first.

  1. 1What they typed into the form

    This is for me but about my sister who has passed. My sister. My friend. So much yine has passed and i still miss her terribly. She was my confident and could talk about good times and bad. She loved her neices and nephews. Christmas was her favorite time of year. Her and i loved to shop at that time, and went out to lunch or supper. We enjoyed each other's company. She loved the outdoors fishing boating skiing etc. Camping also and the fires. She was so loved and cared for. She passed at only 50 yrs old. Lost he husband of only 9yrs. So devastated and heartbroken. I will never forget her and always love her to the end, when we meet again. Love your sister Dee
  2. 2The lyrics we wrote from it

    Sister, my friend, the years have flown, Yet in my heart, your spirit's grown, We'd share our secrets, good and bad, In every joy and tear we had. Oh, Dody I'll hold you close 'til the end, In my heart, you're more than just a friend, Though you're gone, your love remains, 'Til we meet again, beyond the pain. You cherished Christmas, the twinkling lights, Shopping trips and cozy nights,

What a song can say to your sister that a gift cannot

Siblings are the longest relationship most people ever have. You knew her before either of you had a job, a partner or a mortgage, and you will probably know her after. That is a lot of history to put in a birthday card, which is why most cards say "love you, sis" and stop.

A song has room for the history. Chan and Mogilner (2017) found that gifts people experience, rather than own, bring the giver and the receiver closer than material gifts do. And Janata (2009) found that the brain handles familiar music and personal memory in the same place, so a song made of your shared memories becomes one she replays. The papers are listed at the bottom of the page.

For her birthday

Where she was born goes in the first verse, who she became goes in the chorus.

For her wedding

From her sister or brother, for the morning of or the reception, with room for anyone who is missing.

In her memory

For a sister who has passed: what she loved, the things you did together, what you want to keep.

For getting you through

The year she held the family together. Say you noticed.

For a sister far away

Different countries, different time zones. The song gets there on the day.

For no reason at all

The most common occasion in the sister songs we make is "just because".

A song for your sister next to the usual gifts

Song Flowers Card Jewelry
Has her name in it
Says what you think of her, in your words
Tells the story you share
Still there in twenty years
Works from another country

A woman at a kitchen table reading a phone, a wrapped scarf and a teacup beside her
You knew her before anyone else did. Put that in.

What to put in the story

Tell us about her the way you would tell someone who never met her. Where you grew up, one memory, what she did for you, one thing you want her to know. Here are three stories sisters and brothers sent us, exactly as they typed them. Each became a song you can play on this page.

A little sister, from her big sister and brother

She’s my sister born in 10th march 1997 in a beautiful country side Luizi Calugara Bacău. The garden was full of davidofs flowers!The lovely yellow flowers made the da so bright my beautiful small sister.uoy’re thebest of the family!me and our brother are very happy to have you in our life.after many difficult problems we are stronger!we’re a whole together!you’re the best present left by our parents.

A sister on her wedding day

It's my sisters wedding day we lost our dad as did stuart her parter lost his mam id like a song to reflect on who ain't with us on the day.

A sister who has passed

My sister. My friend. So much yine has passed and i still miss her terribly. She was my confident and could talk about good times and bad. She loved her neices and nephews. Christmas was her favorite time of year. Her and i loved to shop at that time, and went out to lunch or supper. We enjoyed each other's company. She loved the outdoors fishing boating skiing etc. Camping also and the fires. She was so loved and cared for. She passed at only 50 yrs old. I will never forget her and always love her to the end, when we meet again.

A birthday with a whole childhood in it, a wedding wish in one sentence, and a list of everything a sister loved. The yellow flowers, the missing dad and the campfires all made the songs. One sentence of story is enough to start; more detail gives more lines. If she has passed, our guide to a song for someone who passed away walks through what to write.

Which sound fits a song for your sister

You pick the genre, the feel and the voice on the order form, and you can change the music after hearing the preview. If you are unsure, these pairings tend to fit:

  • Her music, not yours. Think of what she plays in the car.
  • Country with a female vocal: the most common choice for a sister, and two of the songs above.
  • Acoustic and gentle for a wedding or a memorial, where the words carry the song.
  • Something upbeat and funny for a birthday, if the two of you mostly laugh.
  • A duet when the song is from two siblings, or from a sister and a brother.

If her birthday is this weekend

The story takes about ten minutes to type, the lyrics come back while you wait, and you choose the delivery window at checkout.

Have the details ready: the street you grew up on, her nickname, the year she moved, the thing she always says. Those are the lines she will play back.

From the very first contact Erik couldn't have been more helpful. He was very understanding of what I was trying to achieve and did everything he could to facilitate it. My sister and I were both very moved by the song we ended up with and can't wait to give it to our dad on his 90th birthday.

I gave a song to my husband for his birthday. At first he started listening and you could see his face change as he realized it was about us. He sat up straighter, looked over at me and wiped his eyes, and you could see that he loved it. But I think he was so shocked that it didn't really sink in until the 2nd time he listened to it and followed the words - then he really cried! Now he wants all the kids, our family and friends to hear it too.

She started listening, then her face went blank. Here started running down her face. She loved it. Said it was the best birthday present she has ever gotten in 73 years. Thank you for the song and the memories.

I made a song for my son's birthday. I shared a few memories and feelings to project, the song that I received was so perfect. I cried when I heard it. I had to wait 2 weeks to give it to him. (I really wanted to have him hear it right away, but I waited) On his birthday, we were sitting down to watch a movie and I started the song. The look on his face was priceless, he cried, we hugged for a long time. New fantastic memories. Thank you for creating a perfect gift! And the cost was better than others I saw.

My husband said this was the best birthday gift he’s ever been given. From the lyrics to the artist, you guys nailed this song. We listened to it together at midnight, on his bday. It was a special moment-one I’ll never forget. Thank you, for making his bday the very best!!!

Simply amazing... the fact that you guys generated the song in minutes based on key points I gave. Moved me to tears. I'm using the song to propose to my partner of 20 years on his birthday next week. Thank you for this very unique and heartwarming song you've given us.

I hesitated in doing this song thing, I was worried about a scam or up sales. They produced what they promised, for what they quoted and it turned out fantastic. It was for my wife's Birthday and her tears were testimony to how well the song was created. I highly recommend this service.

I ordered a custom song for my daughter's birthday. She absolutely loved it. She is over in the Netherlands studying, and it was the perfect way to feel connected to her and give her a special and unique gift that made it feel like I was a little closer.

Questions people ask about songs for a sister

What should a song for my sister say?
Where you grew up, one memory only the two of you have, what she did for you, and the one thing you want her to hear. Places and names land: the street, the garden, the city she moved to. Her name goes in the chorus.
Can it be from me and my brother?
Yes. Say who it is from and give one thing from each of you. The London birthday song on this page is from a big sister and a brother.
Can I make one for a sister who has passed?
Yes. Tell us what she loved and what you did together. Some people make it for themselves, as one of the songs on this page was; others give it to the family.
Can I hear it before I pay?
Yes. You read every lyric and hear the first 45 seconds of her song before paying anything. If it is not right, change it or walk away.
Which genre should I pick?
Whatever she listens to. For songs for a sister, country is chosen most. You can change the music after hearing the preview.
She is my sister-in-law, or my best friend who is like a sister. Does that work?
Yes. Tell us who she is to you in the story and the song is written for that, not for a word on a form.
What does it cost?
From US$37.95. The price depends only on how fast you want it delivered, and you see it before you pay.
