Our AI philosophy in a letter
A note to your other lyrics app: AI can't write lyrics. So many new songwriting apps don’t get this. AI just writes the song, and the output is derivative by design. Great art is a product of emotion and experience by the unconscious mind, not a rehash of unlicensed pop songs spewed by autocomplete matrix math in a data center on leveled farmland. Expediting the process while undermining the authenticity is futile.
Lyrium is fundamentally different. It’s built from the ground up to cultivate connections and inspiration in *you*. We tap the best tools available to amplify your sparks at every songwriting stage: a powerful rhyme dictionary and Roget-style thesaurus, your sense memories, your journal, and creative interfaces that tap language models for their mastery of language, not lyrics. All this input is tied together in a first-of-its-kind workspace that exposes the power and flexibility you’d expect from the pro tools you use to make the rest of your music.
We put the best techniques used by pro songwriters like rhyme worksheets and object writing into an deeply interconnected creative process that takes you all the way from collecting inpiration to writing your first line and tracking your final lyrics. Use the new Freestyle drafter to get inspiration as you think out loud. Suggestions are automatically offered for the bit of the lyric you seem to be working on.
