The soundtrack of a generation
Growing up between 2009 and 2015 meant swapping MP3 players for the first iPhones, humming the chorus of "Rolling in the Deep" while waiting for the next episode of "Skins". Saturday mornings were spent on the couch with "Doctor Who" and a bowl of cereal, and the ringtone of a Nokia 3310 was the call to adventure for a group of friends who would later stand together at weddings and at the edge of a divorce. Those years taught them that love could be loud, that a bad day could be fixed with a karaoke version of a pop hit, and that a bouncy castle could still feel like the biggest thrill at thirty.
A worked example
Meet Jess, our example best friend
Jess isn't a real person, but many best friends share her story. Below is the kind of detail families send us, and the song we built from it.
Jess
Turning 30. School mate, wedding buddy, godmother, bouncy-castle planner.
- School friends from 2009
- University reunion every summer
- Survived a divorce together (hers)
- A thousand Tuesday phone calls
- Godmother to my son
What her friend told us
My best friend is 30. We've done school, uni, weddings, one divorce (hers, don't mention the name), and a thousand Tuesday phone calls. She's godmother to my son and the reason I survived his first year. She thinks 30 means being sensible now. I've booked a bouncy castle. The song goes with it.
The sort of thing a close friend might send us
Read the lyrics: Thirty Years of UsAcoustic pop · Warm female vocals · 30th birthday
Verse 1
We started out in school shoes, scuffed at the kneeSame corridors, same trouble, you and meUni beds too small for all our plansSomehow we made it out still holding hands
Verse 2
We've done weddings, and we've done one goodbyeOne name we never need to say out loudEvery Tuesday, right on time, my phone would ringYour voice was always the safest thing
Chorus
So here's to thirty, Jess, however you feelYou think it's sensible, but you're too realYou're christenings and chaos, you're steady and trueGodmother to my boy because he's got you too
Verse 3
That first year with him, I could barely standYou turned up with wine and a steady handYou held him like you'd always known his nameAnd held me too, when I came undone again
Chorus
So here's to thirty, Jess, however you feelYou think it's sensible, but you're too realYou're christenings and chaos, you're steady and trueGodmother to my boy because he's got you too
Bridge
Sensible's overrated, so I've gone and bookedA bouncy castle, just the way we lookedThe day we turned eighteen and thought we knew it allCome on then, Jess, before the sun goes down, let's fall
Final Chorus
Happy thirtieth, Jess, my Tuesday callMy oldest friend who's seen it allYou're not sensible, not even closeYou're the one I need the mostYou're the one I need the most
Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Jess's lyrics came from school memories, a divorce, a bouncy castle and endless Tuesday calls.
