Grandad’s Chair

A warm folk tribute about the small things a family remembers, from one photo of Grandad.

How this tribute was made

One favourite photo and the things the family remembers.

One photo of Grandad

One photo of Grandad

In his armchair with his flat cap on, winking. Pick the photo that looks most like them.

+

There’s a chair by the window where the afternoon falls, and a cap on the hook in the narrow front hall.

A song of small memories

Written from a few lines: his chair, his cap on the hook, the button jar, the seeds he saved.

The tribute

A gentle music video to play at the gathering, or to keep for the grandchildren who will not remember him.

How a tribute song gets made

Take your time. Nothing is shared unless you share it.

Step 1

Share what you remember

Their name, where they sat, what they said, what they made. Pick a style: folk, hymn, soft piano, their favourite genre.

Step 2

Choose a photo

The photo that looks most like them, facing the camera. An old print photographed on your phone works.

Step 3

Pick the look

Photoreal keeps them as you remember them. Watercolour and painterly styles give it a gentle, timeless feel.

Step 4

Share it with the family

Muzie storyboards the scenes against the lyrics and syncs the singing to the vocal. Download it to play at the gathering or send to family far away.

When families make one

A song can hold the small things a eulogy leaves out.

The celebration of life

A song about the person everyone knew, played while people gather. Warm rather than sad.

The anniversary

A year on, or on their birthday. Something the family can watch together, wherever they are.

For the grandchildren

A way to know the grandparent they were too young to remember, in a song about who they were.

For a pet

The dog that met you at the door for fifteen years deserves a song too.

The retirement or milestone

Tributes are not only for goodbyes. A song for a 90th birthday or a lifetime of work lands just as well.

For family abroad

For the relatives who could not travel. Send it the same day, in the language the family speaks.

Pick the look of the video

As you remember them, or soft and painterly.

Tribute song questions

What families ask before making one.

Write a few lines about them: their name, the places and objects you associate with them, what they used to say. A warm original song is written from it. Add a favourite photo to make the music video.

By default the person in the photo sings. Some families prefer that and some do not. You can use a photo of a family member, a grandchild or a place instead, whichever feels right.

Yes. Photograph the print on your phone in good light, face towards the camera. Scanned and older photos work as long as the face is clear.

Yes. Describe the mood you want, for example warm, grateful or gently funny. Most families choose a celebration of the person rather than a lament.

Your videos are yours. You choose whether to download it and who to send it to.

Your first video is free to try, up to 30 seconds with a watermark. Writing an original song and longer videos without the watermark are on Pro.

The small things are worth a song

Write down what you remember, choose a favourite photo and let the song hold it. Take as long as you need.
