Questions
Everything you want to know.
Want to see what happens after you have told us your story first, look at how it works. Question not here? Email us at hallo@odeai.studio.
How personal does the song really get?
As personal as your story. The names, the place you met, that one habit everybody teases them about. Anything you tell us can end up in the song.
That is why we ask a few concrete questions rather than one big one. A single small detail only you know does more than ten beautiful words.
I cannot write at all. Can I still do this?
Yes. You do not have to come up with anything beautiful and nothing has to rhyme. We ask the questions, you answer in ordinary sentences, the way you would tell a friend.
Loose words are fine too. We turn 'always late, always in the front row' into a line.
How long before I have the song?
Within the hour. You do not have to wait around. You get your own page straight away, and it turns into the song by itself the moment it is ready.
If it does take longer, we say so on that page. Better honest than a promised time we miss. Something on your mind? Email us at hallo@odeai.studio.
What does it cost?
A personal ode costs €19.95. That is a one-off amount for the complete song: the lyrics, the music and the download.
One price, no subscription and nothing to pay afterwards.
How and when do I pay?
You place your order without paying. There is no checkout on this site.
We then email you personally. In that email we confirm your order and agree with you how to pay. It is one amount of €19.95 for the whole song, no subscription.
Heard nothing from us after a day? Send a message to hallo@odeai.studio.
Which languages can an ode be made in?
Dutch and English. You choose whichever suits the person it is for.
Not sure? Pick the language they think in. The words land faster that way.
Can I still change the song?
Most of it you decide beforehand: which memories go in, how it should feel, which voice, which language and which style.
Song arrived and something is off? A name, a detail, a mood that sits just beside your story. Email us at hallo@odeai.studio. We look at it personally and put it right.
What if I am not happy with it?
Then we would like to hear that, preferably straight away. Tell us what is wrong. A name, a detail, a mood that sits just beside it.
Send a message to hallo@odeai.studio. You get an answer from a human and we find a solution together.
Who owns the song?
You do. Play your ode wherever you like, share it with whoever you like, put it on at a wedding and listen to it as often as you want.
We never play your song to anyone else. Only if you give us explicit permission do we add it to the examples.
Can I put my ode on Spotify?
We are working on it. It is the question we get most often, so it is coming. We would rather not name a date we cannot keep.
Want to hear from us the moment it is possible? Email hallo@odeai.studio and we will put you on the list.
What happens to my story?
Your story is private. Only the ODEAI team can see it, and only so we can make your song.
We sell nothing on and we put nothing online. What we keep and how to have it deleted is in our privacy statement, at the bottom of every page.
Will other people see my song?
No. Your ode lives on its own page with a unique link that appears nowhere on this site.
Only whoever gets that link from you can hear the song. You decide who that is.
Can I download the song?
Yes. You can download your ode as an MP3 and keep it wherever you like: on your phone, in the car, or on a USB stick for the venue.
The page with your song also simply stays there, so you can always find it again.
How long is a song like this?
Usually between two and three minutes: long enough for your story, short enough to listen to together without anyone getting uncomfortable.
It is a gift. When should I order?
The day itself is fine. The song is there within the hour. Do take your time over the questions though. The more concrete you are, the more personal it gets.
Put it on when everyone is at the table, and say nothing beforehand. That tends to work well.
One last question. Who is it for?
Tell us about them. We will make a song of it.
