Valentine’s Day

You remember what she ordered on the first date. She has no idea. Let the song be the one to tell her.

A Valentine’s song for your girlfriend, written from your first date on

Flowers on February 14 are expected. A song that remembers what she ordered on your first date is not. Tell us three things about the two of you and hear how her song opens before you pay.

Free to hear: the first 60 seconds in about two minutes. $12.99 only if you keep the full song.

A Valentine’s song for your girlfriend, written from your first date on

Hear the second a name lands

Theo, you are my favorite place to go

You wrote“Our first date was a picnic in a thunderstorm, and we ate soggy sandwiches in his car.”

The song singsEating soggy sandwiches, Theo, with you

From a real song made here: “Our First Key”, for Theo, from what his girlfriend typed.

The moment you give it

She picks up the coffee you made and finds a tag on the handle. The song brings up a detail from your first date she forgot she told you, and the coffee goes cold.

February 14, tied to her coffee cup

Valentine’s lines for a girlfriend

  • The first date: where, what went wrong, what you noticed.
  • The moment you knew you liked her more than you were letting on.
  • A song, a show or a joke that is only yours.
  • The small thing she does that makes an ordinary day better.
  • Something you want to do together before next February.
  • The text you sent her that she still teases you about.

Romantic without overreaching

Valentine’s Day invites big words, but a girlfriend song works best when it stays honest about where you are. Say what you love now and what you are looking forward to, and keep the bigger promises for when you mean them.

Style, voice and the evening

R&B / soul and acoustic pop with a male voice are the classic Valentine’s sound. Play it after dinner rather than at the restaurant, so she can react without an audience, and keep the MP3 on your phone in case the signal drops.

For example

For example: our first date was at a bowling alley and she bowled a strike in the wrong lane; she sends me photos of every dog she meets; this summer we are finally taking the trip to the coast we keep postponing. Funny, ordinary, hopeful: that order works well for a Valentine’s song because it ends looking forward.
