Anyone can sing Happy Birthday. Not this.
Once in a lifetime, someone gives you a song with your own name sung in it. With that habit of triple-checking the front door, the catchphrase, the story from the 2009 camping trip. That is a Liedify birthday song.
You know the type: they already own everything, want nothing, and when you ask, they say 'don't go to any trouble'. This is for exactly those people.
Prost auf sechzig!
Funny and loud for turning 60
Here's to the wrinkles that prove you've truly lived!
What belongs in a good birthday song
Not the grand words. The small things. One customer had a song made for her husband that mentions their Wednesday ice cream and the bedtime story with the bear. He knew immediately: nobody invented this, this is our life.
That is why our questionnaire does not ask for birth dates and star signs, but for stories. What makes this person who they are, what have you been laughing about for years, which moment comes to mind first. Five to ten sentences become lyrics that fit only this one person – and a song in a style that fits them too. Schlager for dad, pop for your best friend, something quiet for grandma.
At the party, the song usually plays over the speakers exactly once. That is all it takes. Afterwards everyone wants to hear it again, and the birthday person pretends there are no tears in their eyes.
Three real birthday songs to listen to
From a 5th to a 60th birthday: these songs were actually given as gifts, sung in German. Names, stories and quirks included.
Du wundervolles Chaos
Funny and honest for a 30th birthday
Thirty and still winging it. But wonderfully so.
Fünf Jahre Konfetti
For a little princess turning five
Five years of chaos and confetti. The world is better since you're here.
How the birthday song comes together
You tell us about them
Their name, a few stories, ideally the lovable quirks too. The questionnaire takes about ten minutes.
We turn it into a song
Lyrics and production grow out of what you share, in the music style you choose. The name is sung, several times.
You give it
After 24 to 72 hours your song arrives as a download. Play it at the party, send it as a voice message or hand it over with the lyric card.
Reactions from real birthdays
It includes things only he would know. Our Wednesday ice cream and the bedtime story with the bear.
I had a song made for my mom's 50th and she sent me a 4-minute voice message afterwards. She normally only ever sends emojis.
She heard the song at the party and told me afterwards it was the only gift that made her cry.
He played the song multiple times in a row the moment he heard it. No gift has ever gotten that reaction.
Common questions about birthday songs
Usually, yes: with the Meisterstück package the song is ready in 24 hours, with the other packages in 48 to 72 hours. Best to order today, then there is room to spare.
Who gets a song from you?
Tell us about them in a few sentences. We turn the stories into the gift that stays in their playlist long after the party.
