A worked example

Meet Ted, our example grandad

Ted isn't a real client, but grandads like him are everywhere. This shows the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it. Your song would be built from your own memories.

Ted

Stepped in when dad stepped out, taught me to shave, drive and apologise, cried at my graduation.

  • Stepped in when my dad walked away
  • Taught me to shave, to drive, to apologise properly
  • Cried at my graduation, blamed hay fever in November

What their family told us

A Father's Day song for my grandad Ted, who stepped in when my dad stepped out. He taught me to shave, drive and apologise properly, and cried at my graduation pretending it was hay fever in November. He says Father's Day 'isn't his day'. It has always been his day. This year the song makes it official.

The sort of thing a grandchild might send us

Verse 1

Ted, there's a chair you never asked to fillBut you sat right down and you're sitting there stillWhen my father walked, you didn't walk awayYou just showed up, quiet, the very next day

Verse 2

You taught me how to hold a razor steadyTaught me how to drive, said "easy now, ready"Taught me how to say sorry and mean it right throughNot the easy words, the ones that come from you

Chorus

Ted, this is your dayWhatever you sayYou've earned every part of itTwice over, I'd saySo take off your hatAnd sit with thatThis year we're making it official, TedThis year we're making it official, Ted

Verse 3

November at my graduation, in the crowdYou cried and blamed the hay fever, out loudTed, there's no hay fever in November airWe both knew what was happening there

Bridge

You always said, "it isn't my day, son"Said it so long I thought you'd wonBut love don't ask for the right to beYou just gave it, quietly, to me

Chorus

Ted, this is your dayWhatever you sayYou've earned every part of itTwice over, I'd saySo take off your hatAnd sit with thatThis year we're making it official, TedThis year we're making it official, Ted

Outro

So here's to the shave, and here's to the driveHere's to the man who kept us aliveCall it what you want, but I'm calling it trueEvery Father's Day, Ted, belongs to you

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Ted's came from stepping in, teaching and a secret graduation tear. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.
