An anniversary song about the year you actually had
Anniversary gifts default to flowers because summarising a year is hard. A song does it in ninety seconds, and it holds up better than the flowers.
How it works
List the year
The move, the holiday, the new job, the running argument. Specifics are the whole gift.Pick a genre that fits the year
A chaotic year is funnier as country. A steady one is better as something warm and acoustic.Use your own voice
Record a clip and it comes back sung by you.Send or play it
Share the link over dinner, or export it and put it on properly.
What actually makes it good
- Number the year — "our fourth" — or it will read as generic.
- The unflattering details are the ones that land. The thermostat argument is better material than the holiday.
- If you want it played aloud, export the audio; a link needs a phone and signal at the wrong moment.
Questions
How personal can it get?
As personal as your description. Names, places and in-jokes all make it into the lyrics.
Can I make a few and choose?
Yes, and most people do. Each version costs credits, but the first ones are free to try.
Can I keep the file?
Yes — export the audio and keep it.
