A song for Richard
A nice message gets read once. A song with Richard's name gets played on repeat, shown to coworkers, dropped in the family group chat, and started again at every dinner with guests.
And this isn't a generic track: you write your story into the form — briefly, the way you'd tell a friend — and you get back a song Richard recognizes from the first verse. Two versions, by email, the same day.
How "Richard" sounds in a chorus
The chorus is the part everyone hums by the second listen — so that's where the name lives. "Richard, Richard, tonight we sing for you" sticks on the first pass, and by the second, the guests are singing along.
The verses work differently: the name comes up less often there, but tied to concrete things — the hometown, the year you met, the habit the whole family teases him about. That combination is what makes the track grow: a chorus you can shout, verses you actually listen to.
If you want two names in the same song — for a couple, for a mother and daughter — that works too: say so in the form and we split the chorus between them.
What to put in the story for Richard
The form has a field for the story, and what you write there becomes the verses. To fill it without effort, answer these:
What does Richard do that nobody else does? What pulled you together at the start — and what kept you together when it was hard? What's the word, gesture or ritual you'd recognize him by anywhere? What would you say to Richard if you knew he would listen with full attention for three minutes — because that's exactly what's about to happen?
The answers can be four sentences or twenty; both work. What matters is that they're yours: the name in the chorus opens the ears, but it's the details in the verses that bring the tears.
How ordering works — 4 steps, a few minutes
It's simpler than it sounds: we're not asking for talent or time.
In the form you pick the style and the voice, then describe Richard the way you would to a friend — who he is, what makes him happy, what moment you're celebrating. We turn what you wrote into lyrics and music. Within minutes, by email, two versions ready to download.
From $14.99 — less than a bouquet that lasts three days, for a song that stays in the family for years.

A surprise for my husband. Lyrics with his name and our family joke in them. He played it ten times the first day.
A song for my daughter on her first birthday. Tender and personal. I would have liked one or two more details in it, but overall really lovely.
