The one day a year you say it out loud, in a song about your actual table.
Lyrics you review and approve · 7,99 € · ready in minutes
Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November and the one day of the year an American family sits down and says the thing out loud. Then somebody starts the going around the table part, everyone gets shy, it turns into a joke, and the moment passes. The gratitude was real and it never quite got said.
A custom Thanksgiving song says it for you. Not about turkey and not about pilgrims: about this table, this year, the drive they made, the chair that is empty, the cousin who finally came back. You play it once before anybody eats and the room goes quiet, which almost nothing else at Thanksgiving manages.
The people at the table
Everyone in the room, one detail each. Who cooks, who hides in the kitchen, who starts the argument by four o'clock.
The empty chair
The one who died this year, or the one who could not fly in. Thanksgiving is when the absence is loudest. A song can hold it.
What you would say out loud
The thanks nobody manages once it is their turn. Write it in the brief and let the song say it instead of you.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us. La Ritournelle turned this table, this year, and everyone at it into a song. Press play before anybody touches the food, and yes, Uncle Ray is in it.
Name: the Whitaker family. Bond: parents, four kids, two grandchildren. Occasion: Thanksgiving. Tone: funny and chaotic. Anecdote: Uncle Ray has arrived late and starved every year since 2011, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: played before anyone eats. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Name: Grandma Ruth. Bond: grandmother, gone this spring. Occasion: Thanksgiving. Tone: quiet and tender. Anecdote: she made the pie every year and left the recipe on an index card nobody can read, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: played at the table before the meal. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Name: the Delgado family. Bond: three siblings and their mother. Occasion: Thanksgiving. Tone: warm and grateful. Anecdote: she worked two jobs for a decade and has never once let anyone thank her for it, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: dropped in the family group chat Wednesday night. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Who is at the table, what this year held, who is missing, and the tone you want on the day.
We write the lyrics for your review, then produce a fully sung, studio quality track.
Play it before the meal, drop it in the family chat, or send it to the ones who could not come.
No. That is when most people think of it. Last minute is fine here: the song is ready in minutes once the brief is in, so write it tonight and it plays tomorrow before the meal.
Yes, and it is what these songs do best. Name them in the brief and say what you want said. A Thanksgiving song can carry an empty chair and still be warm. Pretending the year was fine is what makes those songs unbearable.
That is where it works best. Put every name and one detail each into the brief and it becomes the thing you all hear together, which is rare for a gift and very Thanksgiving.
Absolutely, and at a real table it often plays better. The oven disaster, the annual argument, the relative who arrives three hours late. We keep it affectionate rather than mean, and you read every line first.
Tell us the story, we handle the rest. Your song is ready in minutes.
