Long distance
You know their time zone better than your own. Every goodbye at the airport gets a little harder, not easier.
A long distance relationship song about the two of you
When you cannot be in the same room, a song that names your time zones, your airport goodbyes and the next visit says more than another goodnight text. Tell us the details and send them something to play on the nights you are apart.
Hear the second a name lands
Theo, you are my favorite place to go
You wrote“This February we finally move into our first apartment together.”
The song singsThis February we pack up the very last box
From a real song made here: “Our First Key”, for Theo, from what his girlfriend typed.
The moment you give it
You're falling asleep while their day starts. They listen on the train with the countdown in the second verse, and you wake up to a photo of a fogged-up window with a heart drawn in it.
Your 11 pm, their 8 am
for your commute. 47 days until I see you

Details that make a long distance song yours
- A photo you both keep as your phone background.
- The two cities, and how many hours apart your clocks are.
- The call you never skip, and the time it happens on each side.
- The airport or station where you keep saying goodbye.
- Something of theirs you keep at your place: a hoodie, a mug, a note.
- The date of the next visit, or the day the distance ends.
- A thing you do together over the phone, like cooking the same dinner or watching the same show.
For example
Three lines that would give the song a real shape:
- Maya is in Seattle and I'm in Atlanta, three hours behind her every night.
- We fall asleep on the phone and she always says goodnight twice.
- I land at Sea-Tac on March 3rd and I'm counting the days on her calendar.
When to send it
- The night before a visit, so they play it on the way to the airport.
- After a hard goodbye, when the apartment feels too quiet.
- On an anniversary you are spending apart.
- The day you finally set a date to close the distance.
Style and voice
Acoustic pop and indie folk carry the ache of distance without getting heavy. Choose R&B / soul if your calls are late-night ones and the song should feel close and warm.
