A song for a child — a lullaby, for a christening or a first birthday

Three in the morning. The baby has finally fallen asleep on your shoulder and you don't dare move. A melody is going round in your head — you hum it without knowing where it comes from. Many parents later say that this is exactly when they wished their child had a song of their own. Not a lullaby from the internet, but one written for them.

The occasions

• birth and the first months — a lullaby you'll sing every night;
• christening — a gift from the godparents that won't end up in a cupboard;
• first birthday — a song about the year when everything happened for the first time;
• first day at school, prom, graduation — for the grown-up child (new beginning);
• no reason — for the son or daughter who is grown now but still “your child”.

What to tell us

• how they came into the world — the day, the waiting, the first meeting;
• what the child is like — the funny words they invent, the favourite toy, how they laugh;
• what you wish them — not a perfect life, but something real: to be brave, to have friends, to know they're loved;
• family things — grandma's lullaby, a place you love.

For a lullaby, choose a gentle, calm mood and tell us it's for falling asleep — we'll make it quiet and slow.

What about the name?

We write songs to have lasting value. If you want the child's name to be heard, ask for a separate intro — that way the song stays beautiful when the child grows up and plays it to their own children.

A song that grows with the child

A lovely habit: play the song on every birthday. Years later it will be the sound of their childhood — like a photo you can listen to.

Children forget their toys. They never forget the songs they fell asleep to.
