The things you have never managed to say to his face, in a song he can play alone.

There is a conversation a lot of parents never have with their son. Not because the love is missing, but because it keeps coming out as advice, or a joke, or nothing at all. He is sixteen and answers in three words. He is thirty and you talk about the game.
A song sidesteps all of it. You are not standing in front of him waiting for a reaction, and he is not being asked to produce one. He gets to hear it alone, in the car, as many times as he wants, with nobody watching his face.
The thing you never said
The pride, the apology, the sentence that dies in your throat every time. Write it plainly in the brief and let the song carry it.
Who he was, who he is
The kid who would not sleep without the same story, and the man he turned into. The line between them is the song.
Your own shorthand
The nicknames, the running bit, the thing only the two of you find funny. It is proof the song came from you and nobody else.
Jake, I am not good at this in person, so La Ritournelle helped me write a song for my son instead. Listen to it when nobody else is around. Every word is true.
Name: Jake. Bond: son, from his dad. Occasion: No occasion. Tone: plainspoken and direct. Anecdote: two men who talk about the game instead, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: sent as a private link. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Name: Ethan. Bond: son, from his mom. Occasion: Twenty first birthday. Tone: quiet and nostalgic. Anecdote: the same bedtime story for four straight years, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: sent the morning of. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Name: Cole. Bond: son, from his stepdad. Occasion: Moving out. Tone: funny on the surface. Anecdote: a nickname from a road trip that never got explained to anyone else, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: played on the last night at home. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Share his name, your story together, and the one thing you have never managed to say.
We write the lyrics for your review, then produce a fully sung, studio quality track.
Send him the link and let him listen to it alone, which is usually the right way.
Ask for restraint in the brief and read the lyrics before anything is sung. A song that undersells the emotion and leaves room for him to feel it privately tends to land far better than one that spells everything out.
No, and a song with no occasion attached often hits harder. Nothing prompted it, which means he knows you simply meant it. If there is one and it is his birthday tomorrow, that works too, since the song is ready in minutes.
Yes. Plenty of the strongest ones are mostly a running joke with one honest line near the end. Tell us that is what you want and we hold the tone.
Yes. Tell us in the brief who is speaking and what the relationship actually is, and the song is written in that voice rather than a generic one.
Tell us the story, we handle the rest. Your song is ready in minutes.
