A life in song
From the late sixties to the seventies and beyond
When Susan was a teenager the airwaves were full of folk ballads and the echo of electric guitars. She would have grown up with the sounds of Bob Dylan on the radio, the feel of vinyl turning under a needle while the family gathered round the telly for "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". The colour TV was a novelty, and the first episodes of "Coronation Street" became a nightly ritual, the chatter of neighbours spilling into the hallway as the curtain rose.
Those years taught a generation to love a good chorus and a strong story. The same love for melody followed Susan into adulthood, where she found a microphone in a small folk club and a partner in the man who would become her husband. The music of her youth became the soundtrack of a marriage that would span seven decades.
A worked example
Meet Susan, our example wife
Susan isn't a real client, but the details reflect a typical story families share. Your song would be built from the memories you provide.
Susan
Turning 70. Folk singer, Cortina adventurer, forever love.
- Married in 1977
- Drove to Cornwall in a borrowed Cortina
- Sang in a folk club when we met
- Still sings for the grandchildren
- Best decision ever
What her husband told us
My wife turns 70. We married in 1977, drove to Cornwall in a borrowed Cortina, and have been each other's best decision ever since. She sang in a folk club when we met and still has the voice, though she only uses it for the grandchildren now. Every good thing in my life walked in with her.

Verse 1
Seventy years, and look at you nowSame steady eyes, same crooked smile somehowNineteen seventy seven, a borrowed Cortina's roarWe drove down to Cornwall not knowing what for
Chorus
Susan, Susan, best decision I madeEvery good thing in my life walked in when you stayedThrough seventy years of sun and of rainYou're still the one I'd choose all over again
Verse 2
You sang in that folk club the night that we metVoice like a river I never forgetYou don't sing for strangers, you don't sing for showNow it's just for the little ones, soft and low
Chorus
Susan, Susan, best decision I madeEvery good thing in my life walked in when you stayedThrough seventy years of sun and of rainYou're still the one I'd choose all over again
Bridge
That Cortina's long gone, rusted off down the yearsBut I still hear that engine each time you're nearAnd the grandchildren sleeping to songs that you humAre the same gentle music that made me your own
Chorus
Susan, Susan, best decision I madeEvery good thing in my life walked in when you stayedThrough seventy years of sun and of rainYou're still the one I'd choose all over again
Outro
So here's to Cornwall, and here's to the roadHere's to the weight of a love that only growsSeventy years, and I'd do it againSusan, my Susan, my best decision, my friend
Susan's song was woven from a Cortina road trip, a folk club debut and a lifetime of shared moments. Your own song will echo the memories you send us.
