Learn how to recognize symptoms, navigate care, prevent illness, and discover our free artist resources and playlists for healing.

Multimedia — Songs & Playlists for Healing

These resources are oriented toward assuagement — helping reduce the intensity of pain, anxiety, or grief through curated musical experiences and digital delivery.

Songs of Love Foundation — how to request, donate, or volunteer

The Songs of Love Foundation creates free, personalized songs for children and seniors facing health challenges. They accept song requests, welcome volunteer songwriters, and accept donations to support their mission.

If you'd like to collaborate with FreeEd4Med as an artist — donate time or offer to create specialized tracks (provided they are free for us to use and redistribute) — contact us and we'll coordinate with a Songs of Love artist and our clinical partners so the material can support active song requests.

Tax guidance for creative contributions: Donated music services are not tax-deductible because no monetary value can be assigned to artistic labor. As the 501(c)(3), FreeEd4Med will provide a written acknowledgment describing the service (e.g., “Donation of musical composition and recording services”) without assigning a dollar amount. If you incur unreimbursed, out-of-pocket expenses, the acknowledgment can confirm that no goods or services were provided in return so you can consult your tax advisor about those receipts.

Playlists & Revenue (streaming)

We plan to publish curated playlists on streaming platforms to support the nonprofit with royalty income. Links below are placeholders until playlists are created.

When playlists are live we recommend enabling monetization, adding clear descriptions linking to Songs of Love and FreeEd4Med, and adding artist credit (MadMoozeMusic) to help donations and visibility.

Example playlists (recommended for bedside, preoperative, or pain relief)

Below are suggested playlist themes. For copyright reasons, we provide examples as themes and guidance rather than hosted tracks. To add tracks you own or that are public domain, ask us to add an embedded playlist.

  • Calm & Grounding — slow tempos (50–70 bpm), soft pads, sustained strings, light piano motifs.
  • Breath‑Centered Relaxation — phrasing that supports 4–6 second inhale/exhale pacing, steady slow pulse.
  • Memories & Comfort — familiar melodic motifs, lyric references to names and memories (works well for Songs of Love personalization).
  • Movement & Pain Modulation — rhythmic but gentle tracks suited for tapping/swaying and synchronization exercises.

Would you like us to craft an example stems pack or a public playlist that matches your artist voice? We can make one and embed it here — tell us your preferred streaming platform and permission settings.

Artist Participation & Partnership (digital first)

Artists — the most scalable impact comes from preparing studio recordings and assets for digital delivery. Suggested ways to contribute:

  • Donate studio masters and stems for inclusion in therapeutic playlists and apps (include a written statement granting FreeEd4Med perpetual, free-use rights for nonprofit playlists, clinical programs, and derivative educational content).
  • Volunteer to write personalized songs (partner with Songs of Love) — provide recorded masters so they can be distributed digitally to recipients.
  • Submit curated streaming playlists and upload to platform‑friendly formats (Spotify, Apple Music) and provide public playlist links we can embed.
  • Grant FreeEd4Med a no-cost, non-exclusive license to deploy tracks or albums across our playlists and programs; we will handle downstream sharing with hospitals, schools, and partner apps under those same free-use terms.

Practical delivery checklist: provide WAV/FLAC stems, a -14 LUFS preview track, chapter markers for long mixes (where relevant), and a short README with intended use and licensing. Start by contacting our team.
