The words they heard
[Verse 1] We grew up between the maps and oceans Navy ports and foreign skies Just our family of four in motion Half a world from family ties You were wild, I played it steady Opposites in every way [Chorus] But the years built bridges between us Made the distance disappear Now you're my heart, my home, my anchor Every season, every year Sister, friend, my truest mirror Thank God you're still right here [Verse 2] You held my hand when I was breaking Stood beside me through the fight When I chose to raise my boy alone You were there to make it right Auntie to my Justin, traveling Three hearts chasing every light [Chorus] And the years built bridges between us Made the distance disappear Now you're my heart, my home, my anchor Every season, every year Sister, friend, my truest mirror Thank God you're still right here [Bridge] Alicia, you carry so much love A daughter you've raised with grace A mother you tend with tender hands You light up every place [Verse 3] Sixty years of being beautiful Twenty years of saying "I do" Your girl in her cap and gown this spring Every dream is blooming through Alicia, I don't say it enough How proud I am of you [Chorus] 'Cause the years built bridges between us Made the distance disappear You're my heart, my home, my anchor Every season, every year Sister, friend, my truest mirror Thank God you're still right here [Outro] Happy birthday, sweet Alicia The bravest soul I know I love you more than words can carry Wherever life may go

[0:00] Hi, my name is Niva Gay Able. [0:02] Uh, I had a video made for my sister for her [0:06] uh, 60th birthday and 20th wedding anniversary. [0:11] Um, [0:14] I was a little on the fence because I wasn't clear what the costs were going to be. [0:18] Uh, and I didn't want the song to be too generic. [0:22] Uh, [0:24] but it wound up turning out great. [0:26] It it had everything that I had mentioned in uh, the forms that I filled out. [0:33] Um, the person singing was [0:36] wonderful voice, the orchestration was great. [0:39] Uh, I didn't change a thing on it when I received it, which only took about a week. [0:43] Which again, I was surprised at that as well. [0:46] Um, [0:48] my sister, uh, just when she finally realized what it was, uh, just broke down. [0:58] Um, she was very touched and and just thought it was wonderful. [1:03] Um, for anybody who's on the fence about it, I would say, you know, give it a try. [1:09] I don't think you'll be disappointed. [1:12] Uh, it's a a wonderful keepsake. [1:15] Um, and it was a great way to express, uh, what I felt in in a song that she'll have forever. [1:22] So, thank you.
“But they're impossible to buy for.”
That is usually the point. Someone who already owns everything, or who insists on nothing, cannot be given a thing — but nobody already owns a song about their own life. You don't need to write, or be musical, or know what to say. You answer the same handful of questions Nevagay did, and the writing is our job.
