A song for your best friend — for all the “remember when”s

Your best friend is the person you call at three in the morning. Who remembers your silliness from school and loves you anyway. Whom you rarely thank, because “they know”.

A song is a way to say it — and to laugh together while you listen.

Occasions

• a birthday — especially a round one;
• a wedding — a song from the best man or maid of honour, instead of a speech you'll forget from nerves;
• a farewell — when your friend moves to another city or country;
• just because — you've been friends for twenty years and nobody has ever marked it.

What to tell us

This is where the stories are best. It helps us to know:

• how you met — the first day at school, the army, the shared flat;
• your legends — the trip, the car that broke down in the middle of nowhere, “that time at the seaside”;
• the inside jokes — words and nicknames only you understand (write them down, we'll judge which fit a song);
• the hard moments — when they were there for you and no one else was.

Tell us what you want them to feel too: to laugh, to be moved — or both.

Which sound

Friendship songs are the most varied:

• an upbeat, rhythmic song — for a party and singing along together;
• a warm ballad — for a wedding or a farewell;
• something in the style of your music — the rock from high school, the hits of your summers; put it in “Music wishes”.

We write songs with lasting value, so nicknames and names often go into the intro — “For Mike, from the whole class”.

Give it together

A song for a friend is a great group gift — from the whole gang. Collect your stories and send them in one order: the more memories, the richer the song.

Friendship isn't said in words. But sometimes it's sung.
