Still keeping score. Now with a soundtrack.
A birthday song built from the van, the score, and whatever single word sets you both off for ten minutes.
We are still keeping score, and we both know the score
A detail like that one is what the whole song gets built on.
“Ray, you say, ‘We’ll figure it out’…”
Three things worth telling us
Not “kind and generous.” The small ones. Those are the lines people cry at.
01 —
The thing you'd both deny
We are still keeping score, and we both know the score
02 —
What he's always been
The one who shows up with a van and doesn't ask why
03 —
The shorthand
One word — “Blackpool” — and we're both gone for ten minutes
We write from what you give us and nothing else — no invented dates, places or events. Whoever hears this song knows what actually happened, and one made-up line breaks all of it.
Hear it first. Pay only if you love it.
We make the whole song before you pay and play you its chorus. Unlock it and you get that exact recording — nothing gets remade.

What to include in a custom song
Same person, same story. The difference is how you say it.
01 —
Use their exact words
Always tells me to be careful
“Drive safe.” — every call, right before hanging up
A phrase they actually repeat almost always becomes the chorus. It earns the repetition, because they repeat it.
02 —
Small beats big
Supported me through everything
My third-grade drawing is still on the fridge
A summary is true about everyone. The small thing is true about one person.
03 —
Name it
Taught me to drive
Taught me to drive in the Kroger parking lot
A brand, a street, a time of day. Those are the lines people cry at.
Then we write from what you gave us and nothing else — no invented dates, places or events. Whoever hears this song knows what actually happened, and one made-up line breaks all of it.
A gift that writes back.
Other song gifts end when the music stops. Ours come with a page where they can reply — and we send their words straight to your inbox.
“…Saturday mornings under the old blue truck, you handed me the wrench and called it luck.”
I still have that wrench. Played it three times. Come by Sunday.
Questions people ask
Does the song say “happy birthday”?
No. We keep the occasion out of the lyrics on purpose — a good birthday song is about the person, not about the birthday. It's the reason the song exists, not what it says.
How long before I can send it?
Minutes. You write the story, shape the lyrics, hear the song, then unlock it. Nothing is queued for a human.
He'll make fun of me for this. Worth it?
Make that the point. Choose a funny mood and lean into the material — the van, the score, Blackpool. He'll take the mick and then play it to someone.
