Anniversary Songs

A lifetime together deserves more than an ordinary gift.

Silver, ruby, golden — a song that gathers up the decades, the moves, the children, the setbacks and the private jokes into three and a half minutes.

A table laid for an anniversary — two glasses, lit candles, a slice of cake and a balloon

An anniversary song gathers a marriage into one original recorded piece, commissioned for a silver, ruby, golden or any other milestone year.

What to tell us

You do not need to arrive with a finished story. These are the sorts of details that make a song feel like it could only be about one person.

  • The year they married and where
  • The houses, the jobs, the moves
  • The hard years as well as the good ones
  • What their marriage looks like from the outside
  • The line you would want the song to end on

Questions

Several of us want to contribute. Is that possible?
Yes — the Legacy Song includes interviews with up to three contributors, which usually produces a much richer song.
