Just send us the details that make her unique, and we'll turn them into verses.

    Twenty years after the shop shut, the friendship still thrives.

  4. Why she matters

    Everyone should have a Sarah: a friend who remembers and cares.

A worked example

Meet Sarah, our example friend

Sarah isn't real, but friends like her are everywhere. Here's the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it. Your song would be built from your own memories.

Sarah

Mates since the worst job, memory queen, twenty years beyond the shop.

  • Survived the worst shop together
  • Remembers the thing you said once and asks later
  • Friends say everyone should have a Sarah
  • Twenty years of friendship after the shop closed

What her friend told us

It's my friend's birthday. We've been mates since we worked the worst job either of us ever had, and the friendship outlived the shop by twenty years. She's the one who remembers the thing you mentioned once and asks about it later. Everyone should have a Sarah. A song for mine, on her day.

The sort of thing a mate might send us

Read the lyrics: Sarah's Memory LanePop · Female vocals · Birthday

Verse 1

We met behind that counter, worst job either of us had,Clock-watching through the shifts, half laughing, half gone mad,That shop is long since boarded up, the sign came down for good,But twenty years have come and gone, and we're still standing where we stood.

Pre-Chorus

You were never just a workmate,You were the one who stayed,Through every year that shop forgot,You remembered anyway.

Chorus

Everyone should have a Sarah,Someone who remembers what you said,That one small thing back in September,Still living rent-free in your head.Happy birthday to my Sarah,The kind of friend that doesn't fade,Here's to the years we've had already,And every one that's still to be made.

Verse 2

I'll mention something once, half joking, just in passing talk,And weeks go by, and there you are, still asking how that walked out,Nobody else remembers like you do, it's just your way,A small thing kept, a quiet gift, given every single day.

Pre-Chorus

You were never just a workmate,You were the one who stayed,Through every year that shop forgot,You remembered anyway.

Chorus

Everyone should have a Sarah,Someone who remembers what you said,That one small thing back in September,Still living rent-free in your head.Happy birthday to my Sarah,The kind of friend that doesn't fade,Here's to the years we've had already,And every one that's still to be made.

Bridge

That job is gone, the building's gone,But you and I are still here on,So blow the candles, make a wish,I already got mine, it's this.

Chorus

Everyone should have a Sarah,Someone who remembers what you said,That one small thing back in September,Still living rent-free in your head.Happy birthday to my Sarah,The kind of friend that doesn't fade,Here's to the years we've had already,And every one that's still to be made.

Outro

Everyone should have a Sarah,Lucky me, I've got mine still.Happy birthday, dear old friend,Here's to every year we will.

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Sarah's came from a bad job, a closed shop and a memory that never fades. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.
