Indie rockYour lyrics124 BPM

We Were the Summer

Made with Ken Music 1.5 · Sung from our lyrics

—

PromptNostalgic indie rock song, jangly guitars, driving drums, warm male vocals, bittersweet summer feeling, 124 bpm

Lyrics sung in this demo

Verse 1

Found your jacket in the back of my car

Smells like bonfire and a cheap guitar

We were seventeen and the town was small

Painted our names on the water tower wall

Chorus

And oh, we were the summer

Running through the sprinklers after dark

Oh, we were the summer

And I still carry your spark

Verse 2

Now the tower's gone and the road's been paved

But I kept the photo that you never saved

Chorus

And oh, we were the summer

Running through the sprinklers after dark

Oh, we were the summer

And I still carry your spark

If the Walls Could Talk

Made with ElevenLabs Music v2.5 · 90-second exact length

—

PromptHeartbreak piano ballad, soft strings, intimate female vocals, emotional, 68 bpm

Lyrics sung in this demo

Verse 1

The kettle's cold, the curtains drawn

Your coffee cup still has the lipstick on

I tell myself I'm doing fine

Then I set the table out of habit, two, not one

Chorus

If the walls could talk, they'd say your name

Every room still holds the shape of you

If the walls could talk, they'd say the same

That I'm still here, and I'm still in love with you

Bridge

So I'll leave the porch light on

Just in case you find the way back home

Chorus

If the walls could talk, they'd say your name

That I'm still here, and I'm still in love with you

PromptGentle folk lullaby, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft fiddle, hushed female vocals, 70 bpm

Lyrics sung in this demo

Verse 1

The moon is a lantern the river keeps

It rocks the reeds as the whole town sleeps

The owl is a question the dark won't answer

The wind is a fiddler, the leaves are the dancers

Chorus

Hush now, the night is singing

Hush now, the stars are low

Everything the day was holding

The night will let it go

Verse 2

The hill is a shoulder the fog leans on

The lamp in the window is waiting for dawn

Chorus

Hush now, the night is singing

Hush now, the stars are low

Everything the day was holding

The night will let it go

Alarm clock screaming, I'm already late

Bus pulled off while I'm running through the gate

Boss on the phone saying where you at

Spilled my coffee on my only good hat

Monday! Monday! I'm running free!

Throw the calendar out the window

Monday, Monday, let me go!

Seven hundred emails and a printer jam

Lunch is a sandwich and it's mostly ham

Chorus

Song structure

How to lay out your lyrics

Section tags tell the engine where the verse ends and the chorus lifts. This is the layout the demos use.

  1. [Verse 1] · 8 bars4 lines — set the scene
  2. [Chorus] · 8 bars4 lines — the title line
  3. [Verse 2] · 8 bars2–4 lines — move the story
  4. [Bridge] · 4 bars2 lines — a new angle (optional)
  5. [Chorus] · 8 barsRepeat it — word for word

Keep lines a similar length within a section, repeat the chorus exactly, and put the title in the chorus. Short songs (under 20 lines) come out the most faithful.

Tips

Getting your lyrics sung the way you hear them

From making the four demos above.

  • Write numbers and names the way they should be sung ('seventeen', not '17').

  • If a line is rushed, shorten it; if it drags, add a syllable.

  • Put the most important line first in the chorus.

  • No lyrics yet? Use Song mode, then edit the words it wrote and regenerate in Lyrics mode.

  • A poem works too — add [Verse] and [Chorus] and repeat the line you want as the hook.

Example uses

  • Rehearsal room with an electric guitar, amp and drum kit under stage lights

Lyrics to Song AI, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how the pieces fit.

Lyrics mode vs Song mode

Song mode writes the words for you from a one-line idea. Lyrics mode keeps every word yours: the engine only decides the melody, arrangement and performance. Many songwriters combine them — generate a draft in Song mode, rewrite the lyrics, then regenerate in Lyrics mode.
