A worked example
Meet Connor, our example brother
Connor isn't real, but many little brothers fit this picture. Below is the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it. Your song would be built from your own memories.
Connor
Turning 30. Festival hopper, moustache experiment, now fiancé, mortgage, dog Bruce.
- Collected festivals and flatmates across his twenties
- Wore a moustache that raised eyebrows
- Cried at Toy Story 3
- Now engaged, owns a mortgage and a dog called Bruce
What his sibling told us
My little brother turns 30. He spent his twenties collecting festivals, flatmates and one very questionable moustache, and ended the decade with a fiancée, a mortgage and a dog called Bruce. Same lad who cried at Toy Story 3, though. The song is from all of us who watched him grow up brilliant. And slightly ridiculous.
The sort of thing a sister might send us
Read the lyrics: Thirty BeatsIndie pop · Warm male vocals · 30th birthday
Verse 1
Ten years of tents and borrowed cars,Flatmates who came and went like festival stars,You grew a moustache, God knows why,We've got the photos, we won't let it die.
Verse 2
Now there's a ring and a mortgage too,A dog called Bruce who's mad about you,Same soft lad who broke down in tears,When Andy grew up in front of his ears.
Chorus
Connor, thirty and still our boy,Brilliant and ridiculous, you're a joy,We watched you stumble, we watched you land,Here's to the man with Bruce's lead in his hand.
Verse 3
From cheap beer at fields in the rain,To Sunday roasts and a Spotify playlist of the same,You built a life out of nonsense and love,Somehow it fits like a well worn glove.
Chorus
Connor, thirty and still our boy,Brilliant and ridiculous, you're a joy,We watched you stumble, we watched you land,Here's to the man with Bruce's lead in his hand.
Bridge
So here's to the moustache, gone but not forgot,To flatmates who loved you more than they thought,To the girl who said yes, and the house with the key,To the boy who cried, still cries, and always will be.
Outro
Connor, thirty, look at you now,Somehow you did it, we're not sure how,Brilliant and ridiculous, ours all along,Happy birthday, brother, this one's your song.
Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Connor's came from festivals, a moustache, a mortgage and a dog. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.

The era of his teen years
When mixtapes ruled and YouTube was new
Connor grew up with the sound of festival anthems spilling from a battered iPod, while friends swapped playlists of Arctic Monkeys and Florence. Saturday mornings were spent in front of the TV, catching the latest episode of "The Office" or the drama of "Doctor Who" reruns. Those years, 2009 to 2015, were a blend of cheap sneakers, neon wristbands and the first buzz of social media, where a shared photo could launch a new inside joke. The soundtrack of his youth was as colourful as the festival tents he roamed, and that colourful noise still echoes in the heart of the song we'll write for his thirtieth.

Before you ask
Questions, answered
Practicalities about timing, collaboration and the songwriting process.
What should I include for a 30th birthday song?
Give us the anecdotes that only your family knows: festivals you attended together, the moustache phase, the day he got engaged, the mortgage, and even the Toy Story 3 tears. A few vivid details are enough.
Will the song arrive in time for his party?
Your song is delivered within 24 hours of ordering. As long as you reply to the lyric approval quickly, it will be ready well before the celebration.
Can I involve other siblings or friends?
Absolutely. The more voices that share memories, the richer the lyric. Just collate the details and paste them into the order form.
Do I get to hear the lyrics before it's set to music?
Yes. You read and approve every line, and one free revision is included. Nothing is recorded until you're happy with the words.
What music style works best for a 30th birthday?
Indie pop, acoustic, or a light-hearted pop-rock all suit a youthful yet mature vibe. Choose one you think fits Connor, or pick 'Surprise me' and we'll match the style to his story.
