A worked example

Meet Debbie, our example Nan

Debbie isn't real, but many Nans share her sparkle. This shows the kind of detail families send us, and what we build from it. Your song will be crafted from your own memories.

Debbie

Turning 60. Karaoke queen, Northern Soul veteran, opinionated host.

  • Loudest voice at karaoke every night
  • Attended every Northern Soul all-nighter in Wigan
  • Knees that remember the dancing
  • Watches the grandkids three days a week
  • Teaches them things their parents have to undo
  • Never lets anyone leave hungry or without an opinion

What her family told us

Nan's 60 and still the loudest one at karaoke. She was at every Northern Soul all-nighter Wigan ever held and her knees have never forgiven her. Watches the grandkids three days a week and teaches them things their parents have to undo. Nobody leaves her house hungry or without an opinion.

The sort of thing a grandchild might send us

Read the lyrics: Nan's Night OutPop-rock · Female vocals · 60th birthday

Verse 1

Sixty candles and she's still the loudest sound,First one up and last one leaving the ground,Wigan all nighters, dancing till the light came through,Her knees remember every step she put them through

Pre-Chorus

She never learned to whisper, never learned to fade,Every room gets louder when Debbie's in it, unafraid

Chorus

Here's to Debbie, sixty years of noise,Queen of karaoke, favourite of the girls and boys,Three days a week she's teaching them her wicked little ways,Undoing all the rules for the rest of their daysNobody leaves her table hungry or unheard,Debbie's got a full plate and she's got the final word

Verse 2

Northern Soul still running through her veins,She'll tell you all the good bits, none of the complaints,Sixty on the outside, seventeen on the floor,Still the first one dancing when they open up that door

Pre-Chorus

She never learned to whisper, never learned to fade,Every room gets louder when Debbie's in it, unafraid

Chorus

Here's to Debbie, sixty years of noise,Queen of karaoke, favourite of the girls and boys,Three days a week she's teaching them her wicked little ways,Undoing all the rules for the rest of their daysNobody leaves her table hungry or unheard,Debbie's got a full plate and she's got the final word

Bridge

Knees might ache but her heart keeps the beat,Opinions flying free on every street,The grandkids know the secret, she's the one who lets them stay,A little bit rebellious, in the best kind of way

Chorus

Here's to Debbie, sixty years of noise,Queen of karaoke, favourite of the girls and boys,Three days a week she's teaching them her wicked little ways,Undoing all the rules for the rest of their daysNobody leaves her table hungry or unheard,Debbie's got a full plate and she's got the final word

Outro

Sixty years and dancing still,Debbie's love, nobody's fill,Still the loudest, still the best,Never mind the knees, forget the rest

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Debbie's came from karaoke, Northern Soul and a house full of opinions. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.

The era that shaped Nan

From late-70s discos to early-80s telly

Born in the mid-sixties, Nan grew up with the pulse of a new generation. When she was a teenager the streets of Wigan throbbed with the beat of Northern Soul, records spinning on turntables that never seemed to stop. She would stay up till sunrise, dancing to the likes of Gloria Gaynor and The Supremes, feeling the music in her bones even as the world outside was turning on new colour TVs.

Evenings were spent watching programmes like "Top of the Pops" and the first episodes of "Only Fools and Horses", the jokes and catch-phrases that still make her smile today. The smell of fresh-baked biscuits from the kitchen, the crackle of a VCR rewinding a favourite music video, and the rhythm of a cassette player clicking into place formed the soundtrack of her youth. Those sounds still echo when she steps up to the karaoke stage, a microphone in hand, ready to belt out a classic and remind everyone that the spirit of those years never truly fades.

Just share the moments that make her Nan-hood special. We'll turn them into verses.

  1. Karaoke moments

    The song she always sings, the laugh that follows, the applause she steals every time.

  2. Northern Soul nights

    All-night dances, the first record she bought, the way the floor shook beneath her shoes.

  3. Grandkid rituals

    Three days a week, the games she plays, the lessons she gives that parents later have to reverse.

The moment it's for

Picture the celebration when it plays

Between the cake and the speeches, the room falls into Nan's favourite rhythm.

The surprised grin

She hears her name in the first line and the whole family glances, waiting for her reaction.

The sing-along chorus
