Rachel climbed into the pool when Finn was scared and waited at his new school until the bell. Now she’s opening her own bookshop. He wants to be her first customer.

What do you want
them to hear?

If it’s thank you, name what they did. The Saturday lifts, the meal left on your doorstep, the job application they helped you finish.

If it’s I’m proud of you, remember how they got here. The nervous first day and the attempts before something worked.

If it’s I miss you, write about what you used to do together. Their favourite walk or a phrase you still catch yourself saying.

A sister welcoming her younger brother into her bookshop as he holds a book beside the counter
For my older sister Rachel, from Finn. When I was scared of the deep end she climbed back into the pool beside me. She waited outside my new school until the bell. Now she is nervous about opening her bookshop. I have kept the invitation and I will be her first customer. I want to thank her and give her a bit of courage.

Choose music they would actually put on. It can be warm soul, country or something loud and full of drums.

Do I need a birthday or another occasion?

No. You can make a song just because you want someone to hear it. Tell us your relationship and what you want to say; there doesn't need to be a date attached.

Can I write or change the lyrics myself?

Yes. Review and edit the draft before making the music, or use lyrics you've already written. Plain language is fine. Familiar details matter more than finding a rhyme yourself.

Can I fix words or a name after buying?

Yes. Three lyric or pronunciation revisions are included. Each uses the original recording as a reference to keep the sound close, though music and vocal delivery can change. You can keep the original too.

Will they need an account to hear their gift?

No. They can open the reveal link and play the song without signing in. The page is unlisted, but anyone with its link can open it. Share it with the people you intend.
