The story behind our song
Every couple has a song, and behind it is a story: the car, the kitchen, the wedding, the long-distance call. Lettera turns your photograph into a portrait made of that story, in your own words.
Write it like you'd tell a friend: where you were, what happened, why it stuck. Name the song if you like. The portrait carries your memory of it, not the lyrics, so it stays entirely yours.
How it works
- Choose a photograph. The two of you, ideally from around the time of the song.
- Add the words. The story of your song, in your own words.
- See it first. It composes in seconds on your device.
- Choose an edition. The Digital Edition ($24) or the Master Edition ($39, recommended), both delivered the moment you purchase. A framed edition is coming soon.
Questions
Why not use the song's lyrics?
Lyrics belong to their writers and publishers, and reprinting them generally needs permission. Your own story about the song is more personal anyway.
What makes a good 'our song' story?
Specific sensory details: the weather, what you were wearing, who sang off key. Five or six sentences is plenty.
Is it a good anniversary or Valentine's gift?
Either. It's especially fitting when the song played at your wedding.
