The brief Linda sent us
We started in 2014. The Sunday morning coffee ritual is the throughline — she still wears my old college sweatshirt. Last year was hard. We made it. Want it warm, indie-folk, not too polished.

What Linda said after
I do love the song. I think your service is wonderful.
Linda played the song quietly the morning of their anniversary, before her wife came downstairs for coffee. By the second chorus they were both crying.
Editor's note · how this song was built
The "old college sweatshirt" detail is what makes the chorus specific. Anniversary songs get diluted when they describe love in general; Linda gave us one image that does all the work. Mid-tempo, light percussion, plenty of room.
Make this kind of song
Same flow Linda used. Tell us the story, hear a real preview, refine it up to three times, and only unlock when it feels right.
