1What they typed into the form

Exactly as the customer wrote it, typos included. Everything in the song came from here.

From the moment I saw her in a bar, I knew she had to be mine. I didn’t know her name, and I never met her, but to me she was glowing. I found out she was a waitress at an Italian restaurant called Johnny Carino’s. I used to take my mom up there just so I could see her. I never even talked to her. I just wanted to see her, Once I figured out what vehicle she was driving, I would leave flowers on her car, begging for one date,well that one date turned in to forever. After 15 years married and what seems like a lifetime of infertility treatments, we were finally blessed with three beautiful children.

2The lyrics we wrote from it

24 lines. The customer read these and approved them before paying.

[Verse 1] Saw you across that crowded room, your smile caught my eye, Didn't know your name, but you lit up the night sky. At Johnny Carino’s, you were the one I had to see, Took my mom there often, just to catch a glimpse of you and me. [Chorus] Left flowers on your car, hoping you'd give me a chance, Just a glimpse of forever started with one dance. Fifteen years of laughter, through every trial we've been, From that first date to forever, my love, you’ve always been. [Verse 2] I never spoke a word, but my heart knew where to start, Every moment with you, painting dreams in my heart. Through the years of trying, we held on strong and tight, Now with three beautiful children, our future's shining bright. [Chorus] Left flowers on your car, hoping you'd give me a chance, Just a glimpse of forever started with one dance. Fifteen years of laughter, through every trial we've been, From that first date to forever, my love, you’ve always been. [Bridge] Through all the ups and downs, we found our way, Hand in hand, my love, we'll face another day. You're my forever, my dreams come true, Every moment, Shel, it's me and you. [Chorus] Left flowers on your car, hoping you'd give me a chance, Just a glimpse of forever started with one dance. Fifteen years of laughter, through every trial we've been, From that first date to forever, my love, you’ve always been.

Wow! What an amazing and powerful song. It is way beyond my expectations and at a price that is hard to believe. This will be the best anniversary gift I ever gave my wife including jewelry. I never thought our journey together could sound so romantic. It got me all choked up when I first heard it. Actually, still does every time. So glad I got the printed lyrics too. Now, it’s killing me to have to wait a week to play it for my wife on our anniversary. There are several companies like Beatjar on the internet, but I can’t imagine any of them could do a better job or be so cooperative every step of the way. Thanks Erik.

The song was for my wife, for our anniversary. I gave them some key elements to include in the song and they nailed it. Her name, how we first got together, how long we've been married and so forth. You get to pick whether you want a male or female singer, what musical genre you want (I went with a female singing in a Country Music style) and they take it from there. As the song is being produced, they'll email you and offer to have your song ready faster for an additional upcharge but that's just good marketing and to be expected. In the end, it was very professional sounding, and it brought huge tears to my wife's eyes. You can't beat the price and the quality. Just do it !!

I got the song for my wife because it was our 47th anniversary. We both absolutely love it. We were sitting on the couch when I surprised her by playing it. At first, she was mostly ignoring it; but things started to sound familiar and soon she was really listening closely. She'd just taken a sip of coffee when the song mentioned her name, and she almost choked on it. Then, she couldn't stop crying. Neither could I. The song is wonderful, and we've listened to it over and over again. We shared it on Facebook and have had a whole lot of reactions and comments. Everybody else loves it too! Facebook even sent me a notice that it's been viewed over 100 times. Sounds like our song went viral!! It's so professionally produced that I can't believe it didn't cost way more than it did. I sincerely believe that in 47 years the song is the best Anniversary gift I ever got for my wife. I'll definitely be doing it again some time or another.

Danced with my wife in the living room the first time she heard her song for our anniversary. The tears were flowing. This was a great experience. She wrote this on her social media, “ the most beautiful part isn’t the song itself. It is you thought of me sat down, and turned your love for me into music!

A Heartfelt Recommendation for Beat Jar I highly recommend Beat Jar to anyone looking for something truly special and personal for an important occasion. My wife and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, and I wanted to give her something meaningful that captured our story and our life together. After doing a tremendous amount of research on companies that create personalized songs, I chose Beat Jar. From the beginning, I felt that they were the right company for us. What really impressed me was how professional and accommodating they were throughout the entire process. I chose Soft Rock, Anniversary, and Romantic as the styles and themes, and I provided Beat Jar with lots of information about my wife, our relationship, and our life together. They took all of that information and turned it into a beautiful song with personalized lyrics. It was really unbelievable. The song was awesome. In fact, when my four daughters heard it before our anniversary it brought them to tears. I can't wait to give it to my wife on Friday night for our anniversary. I also want to emphasize something that was extremely important to me: Beat Jar takes care of you. I initially had a difficult time understanding exactly how the process worked. I didn't know what to expect or how everything came together. But I trusted Erik at Beat Jar, and he fulfilled my every wish. He and the Beat Jar team walked me through the process, answered my questions, listened to my ideas, and made sure I understood everything. They were willing to work with me until I was happy, and that gave me tremendous peace of mind. I even made a few changes to the lyrics so they would better match our own story. Beat Jar welcomed my input and made the experience feel like a collaboration rather than simply ordering a product. They also offer features that made the experience even better, including rush service, digital downloads, unlimited revisions, and completely personalized songs. Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, birthday, wedding, or another special occasion, they have different musical styles and options to help make the song fit your situation. I have done the research for you. I looked at many companies before choosing Beat Jar, and I am so glad I did. If you are considering a personalized song for someone special, I definitely recommend Beat Jar. They are professional, patient, creative, and genuinely committed to making sure you are happy. Most importantly, they will take care of you. For my 50th wedding anniversary, Beat Jar helped me create something I know my wife and family will remember for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Beat Jar. They are the best!

I wanted more input regarding the lyrics. On the third revision it felt like the song actually came from me. My wife was moved to tears. I printed the lyrics which are framed and proudly displayed. I was concerned the end result may be too "hokey", but it ended up being one of the best anniversary gifts over our 47 years. Thanks!
