1What they typed into the form

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

He's been my father since I was 3 years old. My parents met at a bar and danced to amarillo by morning and are still together 36 years later. He took me camping and hunting and taught me how to drive. He's always been funny and sweet. He's the rock in my foundation of life. There's no one I would rather call dad. From hunting "chickens" to elk and deer. Fishing is not for me but for his grandson Calvin. I can't ever repay the amazing childhood he gave me. The memories I have of him giving my kids their first bath in his kitchen sink. He's the best dad ever.

2The lyrics we wrote from it

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

[Verse 1] I remember the first time you called me dad, Your tiny hands held my heart in place, From camping trips to driving lessons, We made memories time can never erase. [Verse 2] Met Mom in a bar, "Amarillo By Morning" played, Thirty-six years on, the love stays strong, You've been my rock since I was three, In this family picture, you belong. [Chorus] From hunting "chickens" to elk and deer, Laughter echoes through the years, Fishing's not for me, but Calvin holds that line. In every moment, love’s our guide. [Verse 3] Funny and sweet, the foundation of our lives, Gave my kids their first bath in your kitchen sink, The greatest dad, I could never repay, But here’s my heart, and all I think. [Verse 4] A million memories, each cherished and true, The best childhood, all thanks to you, No one I'd rather call my dad, For the love and life we always had. [Chorus] From hunting "chickens" to elk and deer, Laughter echoes through the years, Fishing's not for me, but Calvin holds that line. In every moment, love’s our guide. [Bridge] Dad, you're the rock, my life's foundation, With every glance, a silent foundation, I love you more than words can say, In your arms, I find my way. [Chorus] From hunting "chickens" to elk and deer, Laughter echoes through the years, Fishing's not for me, but Calvin holds that line. In every moment, love’s our guide.

I am so happy to have gotten a song for my husband. I was eagerly waiting for him to get home from work to see his face listen to the song. I waited until going to bed to play it for him and his face was epic ! His entire mood changed and he got very sentimental and happy! He said he loved it so much and can’t believe how accurate it was. He wanted me to share it on facebook and make sure everyone else knew how special the song was. Sadly I want able to share it on Facebook for some reason, but i try to figure it out. Overall, the song gift was perfect for my husband. He heard the song at least 5 times the night I presented him with it. He loved it.

The song that I picked for my husband not only moved him to cheers but also me to cheers so wonderfully crafted and composed the music was excellent. The female that sang the song did a marvelous job everything from start to finish including the price. The price is not bad for what you get it’s actually outstanding. I’ve already recommended this to several of my friends. This was a great great gift for my husband just because I love him.

I’m so thankful the ad popped up on my Facebook feed! Creating a custom song is one of the coolest and sweetest things I could’ve imagined. I made a song for my kiddos to tell them how much I love them and I cried my eyes out. Absolutely worth it! I’m ready for the Beat Jar app😎

Honestly they made it easy. If you ever think about it,,, and are not sure if it's actually worth it, or gonna be good? Well let me tell you, I was that person. I had 15 min in the morning free when I came across that ad again. I took a chance, because I really missed my man that morning. It was the best thing I did. Honestly it was money Well spent . And even though we were apart,for some time I could let him know how i feel about him. Go for it. Is easy

I had a song made for my bestie she was having a really hard time and I figured I would do something to brighten her day. This was so special to say the least. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a special thoughtful gift.

From the very first contact Erik couldn't have been more helpful. He was very understanding of what I was trying to achieve and did everything he could to facilitate it. My sister and I were both very moved by the song we ended up with and can't wait to give it to our dad on his 90th birthday.
