When they heard it
Someone in your life has a story like this one.
You already know it. That is the whole qualification — you answer the questions, and our songwriters do the writing.

“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 another thing. But nobody already owns a song about their own life. It cannot be returned, outgrown, or found in a shop, and it can never be recreated for anyone else — it is built from what you alone know about them.
“I'm not a writer.”
You don't have to be. Teresa answered a few questions, the way you would text a friend. Our songwriters turned those answers into the song you just heard.
“What if it misses?”
Then you tell us and we make it right. Every song carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so the risk of finding out is not yours to carry.
“Is it worth it?”
Custom songs typically cost $500 and up. This costs a fraction of that, arrives inside a week, and is theirs for the rest of their life.

[0:00] My name is Teresa. [0:02] I got the custom song for my husband Ambrose for his 75th birthday. [0:09] Before I ordered my song, I thought about the African rhythm and theme I wanted to embrace. [0:18] My doubt was the artist would not be able to capture his tribal messages throughout the song. [0:28] I decided to go for it. [0:30] Since I had listened to and heard a variety of songs with different interests highlighted. [0:38] When I heard the finished song, I was in love with it. [0:43] With the words and the rhythm, and it was just what I wanted. [0:48] I would say to anyone who is interested to try it. [0:53] You have the opportunity to edit your words and you get what you want in your personal song. [1:00] Also, this is a great legacy to honor a loved one.
The words they heard
[Verse 1] A quiet man with steady hands, Who crossed an ocean, found new lands. From Liberia's distant shore, A Kpelle tribesman evermore. You built a life from hope and prayer, And showed us all how much you care. [Chorus] Ambrose, oh how we celebrate you, For all the love you carried through. Strong and gentle, faithful and true, There's not a soul quite like you. Happy birthday, we're grateful today, For every step along the way. [Verse 2] Thirty-five years with Teresa near, A promise kept through every year. Four girls, two boys, one blended song, A family where all belong. You worked those roads to see us fed, A provider, they all said. [Chorus] Ambrose, oh how we celebrate you, For all the love you carried through. Strong and gentle, faithful and true, There's not a soul quite like you. Happy birthday, we're grateful today, For every step along the way. [Bridge] A Kpelle son of noble pride, Still driving on with faith your guide. In love you stand, in strength you lead, A quiet power in word and deed. [Verse 3] The grandkids gather round your chair, Great-grandkids too, they know you're there. At seventy-five your light still glows, A legacy that only grows. So here's a song we sing to you, For all the wonders that you do. [Chorus] Ambrose, oh how we celebrate you, For all the love you carried through. Strong and gentle, faithful and true, There's not a soul quite like you. Happy birthday, we're grateful today, For every step along the way. [Outro] Ambrose, our blessing, our guiding light, We love you more than words tonight.
