A worked example

Meet Tara, our example graduate

Tara isn't real, but many families have a first-in-the-family graduate. This shows the kind of details we turn into a song.

Tara

First in the family to university, commuter scholar, Saturday salon star.

  • Commuted on the bus, notes spread across her lap
  • Worked Saturdays at the local salon
  • Revised on the bus between stops
  • Nan arrived in a hat usually reserved for weddings

What her family told us

Our daughter Tara graduates in July: first in our whole extended family to go to university. She did it commuting from home, working Saturdays at the salon, and revising on the bus. Her nan is coming to the ceremony in a hat usually reserved for weddings. We want a song for the party after, about the girl who went first.

The sort of thing a proud parent might send us

Verse 1

Up before the sun on a Saturday shift,Shampoo and small talk, chasing every tip,Books in your bag on the number nine bus,Learning the whole world was written for us.

Pre-Chorus

Nobody showed you the way through the door,So you built it yourself, brick by brick, sure and sure,July's come calling, and look what it found,The girl who went first, standing tall on the ground.

Chorus

Tara, Tara, we're shouting your name,First in the family to carry the flame,From the salon chair to the lecture hall,You did it commuting, you did it for us all,Tara, Tara, the girl who went first,Turned every "can't" into "watch me" rehearsed.

Verse 2

Nan's got her wedding hat out of the box,Says this is bigger than any church clock,You revised in traffic, in the rain on the glass,Turned every red light into first class.

Pre-Chorus

Nobody showed you the way through the door,So you built it yourself, brick by brick, sure and sure,July's come calling, and look what it found,The girl who went first, standing tall on the ground.

Chorus

Tara, Tara, we're shouting your name,First in the family to carry the flame,From the salon chair to the lecture hall,You did it commuting, you did it for us all,Tara, Tara, the girl who went first,Turned every "can't" into "watch me" rehearsed.

Bridge

So pour the drinks and turn it up loud,Nan's in her hat, stood proud in the crowd,Every early morning, every long bus ride,Led you right here, to the top of your life.

Chorus

Tara, Tara, we're shouting your name,First in the family to carry the flame,From the salon

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Tara's came from bus rides, salon Saturdays and a special hat. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.
