My mama is the light my life, when my dad passed away she was by my side and always made sure i had the life i deserved. she’s the best. every tough patch i was always my moms angel. Her name is april if you could add her name somewhere in the song. my whole childhood was in alabama until we moved to florida. she does everything for me. and she’s the sweetest mom and the most loving person ever.

[Verse 1] In the heart of Alabama, where my roots run deep Mama, you were my anchor, a promise to keep When Daddy left this world, you stood strong by my side You held my hand through the storm, my ever-loving guide [Chorus] April, you're the light that shines so bright Through every dark moment, you turned wrong to right You've given me a world of endless dreams Mama, you're the sweetest, and everything you seem [Verse 2] From Alabama’s fields to Florida’s sunny shore You’ve given me a life I couldn’t ask for more Every smile and tear, you’ve been my angel's wings With love so deep and true, in every word you sing [Bridge] Mama, my shelter in the rain Your love, it’s a gentle refrain Oh, April, you’ve made life so sweet With every step, you've made me complete [Chorus] April, you're the light that shines so bright Through every dark moment, you turned wrong to right You've given me a world of endless dreams Mama, you're the sweetest, and everything you seem [Outro] For all you’ve done, I’ll forever be grateful Mama, you’re my heart, my soul, forever faithful April, you are my light, my love, my guiding star Mama, you’re my everything, just the way you are

My siblings and I decided to have Beat Jar create a song for our Mother for her birthday. We will all be getting together in Arizona to celebrate her. Some traveling from South Dakota, some from Wisconsin. Although we have not been able to share the song yet we are highly anticipating the day which will come towards the end of September. We all pitched in ideas that we wanted in the song. Beat Jar delivered something better than we anticipated! We didn't look any farther than Beat Jar when finding out that you do not have to purchase a subscription. Thank you Eric for creating something for our Mother and family that will be cherished and has already been played on repeat! We can't wait to see our Mom's reaction when she hears it! With our mom's approval we will be sharing the video of her listening to it for the first time. As an added bonus Beat Jar offers one free song if the video is shared. Thanks again!

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.
