A NOTE FOR YOUR OTHER LYRICS APP

AI can’t write lyrics.

200 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 stolen pop songs spewed by 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. 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.

Everything around the lyric.

Tools to get your inner writer up and moving — right around your editor.
