For your girlfriend
You're not a speech person. She knows that. That's why a song with her name in it will undo her.
An anniversary song for your girlfriend
If you are not much of a speech person, a song about your first year does the talking. Tell it about the night you met, the thing she does that you love, and how long it has been.
Hear the second a name lands
Oh Joaquin, you make my whole world bright.
You wrote“Still texts me good morning from the kitchen when I am upstairs.”
The song singsYou text me good morning while I'm still upstairs.
From a real song made here: “Good Morning, Joaquin”, for Joaquin, from what his wife typed.
The moment you give it
She reads it in the line at the coffee shop and puts one earbud in. By the chorus she has let two people go ahead of her, and the reply comes back with a photo of her crying into a latte.
Anniversary morning, while she gets coffee

An anniversary song sung to her
Our sample is a husband to his wife at ten years; the same approach works for a first dating anniversary.

What to tell the song
- The first gift you ever gave her, and how she reacted.
- The night you met, and the first thing she said to you.
- The moment you knew you were in trouble, in the good way.
- A habit of hers you have already memorized.
- A place that is now yours: a diner booth, a bench, a trail.
- A plan you have made together for the next year.
For example
A boyfriend writing for one year might type:
- We met at a trivia night in Denver when she corrected my answer about Saturn.
- She keeps a list of every taco place we have tried and ranks them.
- Next summer we are driving to Yellowstone in her old Subaru.
Style and voice
A male voice makes it sound like it comes from you. Acoustic pop is the safe choice; indie folk suits a couple who would rather hike than go to a club.
Ways to give it
- Leave it queued on her speaker so it plays when she gets home.
- Play it on the drive to wherever you are celebrating.
- Send the MP3 first thing in the morning with a short message.
- Play it at the place from your third line, if you can get there.
