A get-well song that actually helps the days pass
Hospital rooms and long recoveries are boring and lonely. Three minutes of their own life set to music is company that flowers can't be.
From A$39 · Hear two versions before you pay · Usually ready in 3–8 minutes
Flowers wilt by Thursday and grapes get eaten by visitors. A personalised get-well song is different company: it is about the person, not the illness — the plans waiting for them, the memory that always makes them laugh, the names of everyone asking after them. It works for a hospital stay, a long recovery at home, or the friend who is just having a terrible month.
Write the story, read the lyrics, and hear two recordings before you choose. It arrives as a link, so it reaches a ward phone at 11pm when visiting hours are long over, and it's short enough to play again the next day. Send it from one friend or from the whole office; the gift page shows who it's from and carries a note you can update as the weeks go on.
Hear one first
What a get well soon song sounds like
The Last Trolley
Pop RockMet you fighting for a trolley
In the rain, car park night
You won but gave it to me
That's how we started right
Kemi, I'd say this in a speech
But never once to your face
So here's a song you'll never hear
Until I press play
Every line came from a story someone typed in. Yours will read like this — with their name, their details, in the genre you choose.
Ideas
Get well soon song ideas
What actually goes in one. Pick a couple — the song only needs two or three true things to stand on.
The plans waiting for them
The holiday, the match, the garden. A song that looks past the recovery is the one that helps during it.
The story that always makes them laugh
Playful pop, their own worst moment set to music. Laughing is good for you; the nurses will say so.
Who's asking after them
Every name. On a bad day, that list is the whole song.
Gentle company for a long stay
The lo-fi tone: quiet, unhurried, something to have on in the background at 3am.
For a child in hospital
Their favourite things, their pet, their name in the chorus. Keep it bright and keep it short.
Pick a direction
Choose the tone, we'll set the dials
Each option starts the wizard with the occasion, genre and mood already selected — you just tell the story.
What to write
Story prompts that make it theirs
You don't need to be a writer — answer two or three of these in plain sentences and the lyrics will do the rest.
- The plans waiting for them when they're better
- A memory that always makes them laugh
- Who's asking after them
- What you admire about how they're handling it
How it works
Making a get well soon song, start to finish
Step 1
Tell the story
Answer a few questions about them in plain sentences — the story prompts above are a start. Pick a genre, a voice and a mood, or take one of the get well soon tones.
Step 2
Read the lyrics
The words come back first. Change any line, swap a name, cut a verse — nothing is sung until you've said yes to every word.
Step 3
Hear it, then choose
Two full recordings of your approved lyrics, usually within 3–8 minutes, each about two minutes (one to three, depending on how much you write). Hear the first minute of both free; pay A$39 for the one you keep. It arrives as a gift page and an MP3.
The full price list, what each tier includes and who owns the song are on the pricing page.
Who it's for
A get well soon song for…
Each of these pages has its own prompts, tones and a sample written for that relationship.
