About

Why window light.

Windowlight Stories makes animated lyric videos, one song at a time. Each video is directed around the story inside its song: where it's set, who's in it, the hour of the day it remembers.

Above the clouds
Above the clouds · from “Stay the Same (Small Town)”

Songs about home are often heard on the way somewhere else.

Our mark is a window: the small, bright frame you look through on the way somewhere, from a plane, a train, the back seat of a car. Through it, a song quietly turns into pictures: the town you left, a road you know by heart, the light at the end of a long day.

That light is soft, clear and a little far away, the way memories look. Every video is drawn in it. Nothing is filmed and nothing is stock: each landscape is drawn in code and moves with the music.

What we care about

Fewer videos, each one made with care.

01

One song at a time

No template stamped onto a playlist. Every video gets its own scenes, its own storyboard and its own pace.

02

Clear, natural light

Open skies, green hills, morning and golden hour. We go to night only when the song does.

03

Words you can follow

Every lyric is timed to the singing and lights up as it's sung. Captions are there too, if you want them.

Music & credits

The songs belong to their artists.

We only use music licensed for videos like ours, and every video credits the song and its artist: on screen, in the YouTube description and on its story page.
