Express yourself. When you can't find the words, find the lyrics.

Listen

We partnered middle-school-aged kids and their caregivers with mental health experts and musical artists to create an album of exclusive songs, inspired by the hidden emotions revealed in their conversations. The artists transformed these conversations into songs that can help your kid express themselves.

This album is a tool to help you and your kid discover how to use music to explore difficult emotions and experiences.

Create

Find your lyrics together

Sometimes it's hard to say what we're feeling. Luckily, talking isn't the only way to express feelings. Music can also be a great way to communicate. Encourage open communication with your child by working as a team and creating music. Work together to write a song that expresses how your child is feeling. Use the instrumental tracks as inspiration to get you started.

How it works

  1. With your kid, pick one of the instrumental tracks or beats below.
  2. Grab a pen and paper and challenge your kid to a fun and friendly collaboration.
  3. You go first. Start with a lyric about something you're feeling or going through. Then it's their turn!
  4. Don't worry about being off-key or off-beat - just make sure you're being honest and open about your lyrics.
