A worked example
Meet Chris, our example husband
Chris isn't a real customer, but many husbands share his quirks. This shows the type of detail families send us and how we turn it into a song.
Chris
Turning 40. Smoker king, accidental comedian, forever texting.
- Bought a smoker the size of a small car
- Calls himself 'pitmaster' with pride
- Kids think he's hilarious when he isn't trying
- Never says no, works hard, texts at lunch every day
What his wife told us
My husband is 40 this year. He's reacted by buying a smoker the size of a small car and referring to himself as a 'pitmaster'. The kids think he's hilarious, mostly when he's not trying to be. He works too hard, never says no to anyone, and still texts me at lunch every day. He's been doing it for fifteen years.
The sort of thing a wife might send us
Read the lyrics: Smokin' at FortyCountry · Warm male vocals · 40th birthday
Verse 1
Forty candles on the horizon nowHe went and bought a smoker like a small parade floatBackyard's looking like a barbecue townCalls himself the pitmaster, chest puffed out, so proudThe kids just about fall down laughingMostly when he's not even tryingHe'll flip a brisket like it's rocket scienceLord, we love that man, we're not denying
Chorus
That's my Chris, forty years and rollingStill the same old heart, just a little more slow goingWorks too hard, never learned to say noBut every single day at noon, my phone will glow"Thinking of you" fifteen years in a rowThat's my Chris
Verse 2
He'll take on every favour that gets asked himNever wants to let a soul downComes home smelling like hickory and hard workWears that tired grin like a crownThe kids all tease him, call him "Pitmaster Dad"He just laughs and turns the temperature upForty hasn't slowed that stubborn kindnessStill the first one there to fill somebody's cup
Chorus
That's my Chris, forty years and rollingStill the same old heart, just a little more slow goingWorks too hard, never learned to say noBut every single day at noon, my phone will glow"Thinking of you" fifteen years in a rowThat's my Chris
Bridge
Fifteen years of lunchtime textingNo matter how the day's gone wrongSome men give you rosesHe just says "you're on my mind" and carries onThat's louder than a love songThat's steadier than mostSo light the smoker, pour the sweet teaHere's to the man we love the most
Chorus
That's my Chris, forty years and glowingBig old smoker, bigger heart, still growingWorks too hard, never learned to say noBut every single day at noon, my phone will glow"Thinking of you" fifteen years in a rowHappy birthday, ChrisHere's to fifteen more
Every song is crafted from the details you share. Chris's track came from his smoker, his jokes and the daily texts that keep love alive.

CountryWarm male vocals40th birthday
The soundtrack of his twenties
A world of pop, telly and early gaming
When Chris was a teen, the charts were ruled by boy-bands and pop-rock anthems, the evenings flickered with the first reality shows and the living room buzzed with the sound of a PlayStation 2 loading. Those sounds still echo when he grills: a hint of a chorus in the background as the smoke curls, a familiar laugh from a sitcom rerun on the patio. The music and TV of 1999-2005 gave him a soundtrack that still feels fresh, just like the jokes he cracks for the kids.
