How We Turn Your Memories into Music

Every song begins with a story — and yours is at the heart of everything we create at Verse Things First. Whether it’s the way your dad tells the same joke every Sunday, the moment you met your partner, or the laugh you’d give anything to hear again, our job is to turn those memories into music that lasts forever.

It all starts when you share your story. Through a short questionnaire, we learn about the person, the moments that matter, and the feelings you want to capture. These aren’t just “details” to us — they’re lyrics waiting to be written.

On our website, you’ll find thoughtful prompts under each occasion — like For Mum, For Dad, Weddings, or Birthdays. Each prompt is designed to spark memories and help you think of the stories that matter most. And if we ever need a little more detail to bring your story to life, don’t worry — we’ll personally reach out via email to fill in the gaps before we start writing.

Once your story is complete, our songwriting team gets to work. We find the emotional heartbeat of what you’ve told us, crafting lyrics that feel honest, relatable, and deeply personal. From there, our producers build the music — selecting the perfect melody, tempo, and tone to match your story’s emotion.

You might want something cinematic and powerful for a wedding or anniversary, or gentle and acoustic for Mum or Dad, Every decision — every melody, every vocal — is chosen to make it sound like you.

Finally, your custom song is professionally produced, and delivered as an MP3 and lyric sheet — something tangible you can hold, frame, or replay forever. It’s the sound of love, laughter, and life captured in three minutes.

Turning memories into music isn’t just about writing songs — it’s about preserving stories. Years from now, you’ll still press play and feel it all over again.
