A full-length song
🎧Two to three minutes, fully produced. Real vocals and full instrumentation, not a robotic reading.
Rachel wanted something for her mum’s 70th that wasn’t another scarf.
She typed in six things: the name of the car, the tune her mum hums while cooking, the way she answers the telephone, a holiday in the rain, a nickname, and the dog.
Two minutes later she had the lyrics. She changed one line. Four minutes after that she had a finished song, a cover, and a link she sent to the family group at 11pm.
She cried before the first chorus. So did my dad, and he is pretending he didn’t. 🥲
“Write it about the small things. She hates a fuss.”
What Rachel gave us, word for word:
- Mum is Linda, turning 70 on the 14th.
- Calls her car “the Duchess”.
- Hums the same three notes while stirring anything.
- Answers the phone with “hello, it’s only me”.
- That caravan week in Wales when it rained every day.
- The dog is Biscuit. The dog matters.
Style: warm folk-pop. Voice: female. Mood: happy with a lump in the throat.
