A song for Valentine's Day — a gift that doesn't wilt
Flowers wilt within a week, chocolates even sooner. A song about your story stays. What to tell us, which sound to choose and when to order so it's ready for 14 February.

The fourteenth of February comes every year, and every year the question is the same: what can I give that isn't “the same again”? Roses, chocolates, dinner — lovely, but everyone gives them. A song written for the two of you is something no one else can give.
Why a song
- It's yours alone. Not “our song” because it happened to be on the radio — it was written about you.
- It says what's hard to say. Many people love deeply but don't talk about it easily. The song says it for you.
- It stays. Years from now you'll play it again and remember not just the day, but the whole road so far.
What to tell us
You don't need beautiful words. Write the way you'd tell a friend:
- how you met — and what you thought of each other that first day;
- your small rituals: the morning coffee, the silly word only you two understand, the song in the car;
- a hard moment you got through together;
- what you want them to hear — thank you, I still fall for you, I'm glad it's you.
If you've only just got together, that's a story too — about the beginning, the excitement, the “where will this go”. The song doesn't have to be about ten years of marriage.
Names usually stay out of the lyrics so the song keeps its lasting value. If you want to hear “This song is for you, …”, add an intro.
Which sound
- a tender ballad — for a quiet evening at home;
- a warm pop song — something you'll both hum along to;
- a duet — if you want the song to sound like a conversation between two people.
Not sure? Choose “Leave to Paliva” — the story usually makes clear what fits.
When to order
The song is written and recorded, then comes time for your approval and a revision. To have it ready for 14 February without stress, order by the end of January. The usual delivery time is on the occasion's page; if you're late, put the date in your order — when express delivery is offered, you can choose it.
Flowers last a day. The song lasts for all the days after.

Frequently asked questions
When should I order so it's ready for 14 February?
Ideally by the end of January — that leaves time for approval and a revision. If it's later, put the date in your order and we'll tell you whether it's possible.
Will my partner's name be in the song?
Usually not in the lyrics themselves, so the song keeps its lasting value. For a dedication with a name, add an intro — spoken or sung.
Can it be a poem instead of a song?
Yes — choose “Poem” in the order form. You tell your story the same way and receive a poem written for the two of you.
