A life through the ages
From wireless crackles to television glows
Born in 1926, Elsie grew up while the world was still learning to speak through radio waves. She remembers the soft hiss of the wireless in the kitchen, the way families gathered round to listen to news of distant battles, and the first flicker of a television set that turned rooms into tiny theatres.
The war years brought ration books and nightly air-raid drills, yet she kept a secret stash of songs in her head, humming them as the world changed. After the war, the street outside her house filled with the sound of new pop records, and later the crackle of a vinyl record player that became the soundtrack of her youth.
A worked example
Meet Elsie, our example grandma
Elsie isn't real, but grandmas like her are everywhere. This shows the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it. Your song would be built from your own memories.
Elsie
Turning 100. First plane ride at 85, remembers every name.
- Outlived the wireless, the war and every diet fad
- First plane ride at 85 and asked for another loop
- Five generations, knows everyone's name and business
- Received a card from the King: a royal favourite
What her family told us
Grandma is 100 in September. Born in 1926, she's outlived the wireless, the war and every diet fad since. She had her first plane ride at 85 and asked if they could go round again. Five generations of us now, and she remembers everyone's name and everyone's business. The card from the King is nice. Our song will be better.
The sort of thing a grandchild might send us

Verse 1
Nineteen twenty six, the year that she beganBefore the wireless crackled out across the landShe's seen the world turn over, decade after decadeOutlasted every war and every diet fad
Pre-Chorus
September's coming round againA hundred candles, watch them burnGrandma Elsie, still the sameStill got so much left to learn
Chorus
Here's to Elsie, here's to youA hundred years and still going throughFive generations call your nameYou know our secrets, all the sameThe King can send his card of goldBut this is ours, this one we holdHappy birthday, Elsie dearA hundred years and still right here
Verse 2
At eighty five she flew up for the first time everLooked out the window, said "let's go again together"She keeps the names, she keeps the little details tooWhatever's going on, she's already heard from you
Chorus
Here's to Elsie, here's to youA hundred years and still going throughFive generations call your nameYou know our secrets, all the sameThe King can send his card of goldBut this is ours, this one we holdHappy birthday, Elsie dearA hundred years and still right here
Bridge
From a world of wartime skiesTo a table full of family tiesStill asking could we go round twiceThat's the way you've lived your lifeOnce was never quite enoughYou always wanted one more lap of love
Final Chorus
Here's to Elsie, here's to youA hundred years and still going throughEvery name and every faceYou hold us all in your embraceThe King can send his card of goldBut this is ours, this one we holdHappy birthday, Elsie dearA hundred years, and one more yearWe'll take another lap, my dearA hundred years and still right here
Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Elsie's came from a century of history, a royal card and a love of flight. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.
