How we look after your song
Your story, carefully checked: Our Cumbria team checks the names, dates, places and memories you supplied against your lyrics before you see them.
You approve the lyrics: Read every word and use your included lyric-change round before approval. Once approved, that version is locked; later creative amendments may be chargeable.
A real person throughout: A real member of our Cumbria team oversees your order and is available by email whenever you want to talk through your song.
Download, keep and replay: Your song and included keepsakes are delivered as digital downloads. The Lyric Sheet is a printable PDF; nothing is posted physically.
The things fathers and mothers rarely say out loud
Pride is easy to feel and awkward to voice. A song does the talking, and it does it without anyone having to make a speech at the dinner table.
Tell us who he is: the sport, the music, the stubbornness, the moment you knew he would be fine. We will write it as lyrics you approve first.
WHEN PEOPLE ORDER ONE
Moments this song suits
An 18th or 21st birthday
The story so far, with the family jokes intact and one line that means it.
His wedding day
A gift from parents that is neither a speech nor an envelope.
First job, first home, first grandchild
The milestones that deserve more than a card.
A younger son's keepsake
A bright, simple song with his name in it that he grows up knowing.
WHAT TO INCLUDE
What makes their song truly personal
What he is known for
The sport, the music, the car, the stubbornness, the thing he will not stop talking about. Specifics make the song unmistakably his.
A story the family always tells
The holiday, the goal, the misadventure. If people laugh when it comes up, it belongs in the song.
The honest line
The thing you would say if it were easier to say. One sincere verse is often the part he replays.
How far to push the humour
Some songs for a son are mostly funny with one heartfelt turn. You set the balance.
HEAR THE STANDARD
Examples of finished songs
Different stories, different styles and different voices — the same standard of production on every song.
James at Twenty-One
An upbeat milestone birthday example with a modern pop feel.
Dad's Greatest Hits
Warm, upbeat and a little tongue-in-cheek — an example of a song written for a dad.
New Adventures Await
An optimistic, forward-looking example for someone starting something new.
