A worked example
Meet Nana Joan, our example Nana
Nana Joan isn't a real client, but many families have a loved one just like her. This shows the kind of detail families send us and how we turn it into a song.
Nana Joan
Living three hours away, sings the songs of my childhood, never forgets a melody.
- Sings at the washing line, humming old folk tunes
- Stops at the bus shelter to hum a lullaby
- Remembers every bedtime song, even the ones I made up
What her grandchild told us
My nana Joan is in a care home now, three hours away, and between visits she forgets some things but never the songs. She sang to me my whole childhood: washing lines, bus stops, bath times. I want a song made for her with her name and our memories in it, so the staff can play it between my visits. Something she can hold onto. Or hum.
The sort of thing a grandchild might send us

Verse 1
Joan, it's me again in the morning lightI know three hours stand between us tonightBut they tell me you still hum the old tunes throughSo I've brought you home, wrapped up inside of you
Verse 2
You sang me clean on the edge of the bathYou sang at bus stops just to make me laughPegs in your mouth and the washing on the lineEvery little chore had a tune keeping time
Chorus
Joan, oh Joan, hold this one in your handEven when the rest slips off like sandThe words may go but the song remembers youJoan, oh Joan, I'm still humming it too
Verse 3
They say some mornings my name gets hard to findBut the tune comes easy, it was always yours and mineSo when the staff play this, let your shoulders fallYou taught me every word, you don't need to recall
Bridge
Three hours away is nothing to a songIt travels quicker, it was never goneWherever your mind wanders off to roamThis melody knows the way, it carries you home
Chorus
Joan, oh Joan, hold this one in your handEven when the rest slips off like sandThe words may go but the song remembers youJoan, oh Joan, I'm still humming it too
Outro
Hum it soft now, Joan, you know how it goesBath time, bus stops, the washing on the rowsI'll be back before the chorus comes round twiceTill then let this hold you, let this be enough tonight
Every lyric is crafted from the details you share. Nana Joan's song grew from washing-line hums, bus-stop verses and bedtime lullabies.
