YOUR LIFE IN SONG
Every life has a soundtrack. This one is yours.
Twenty-five songs, five chapters, and the reason each one stayed with you, gathered into a keepsake with your own playlist and a song written about you.
Or ring Petra on 0490 957 265 and do it together instead.
The idea
Most of us can name the song that was playing the night we met someone, and the record that carried us through a hard year, and the tune our mother hummed at the kitchen sink. Those songs are a map of a life, and almost nobody ever writes them down.
Your Life in Song is a memoir through music. Your life falls into five chapters, from childhood through to now, with five songs in each and the reason each one belongs there. What comes back to you is a certificate you can frame, a playlist of the whole thing that opens by scanning the code on it, and a souvenir song written about nobody in the world but you.
See both sides
Side one
Side two
Twenty five songs. Five chapters. The story behind them.
Do it yourself, or do it with me
Both end up with exactly the same keepsake. The only difference is who asks the questions.

Work through them whenever you feel like it.
You can stop and come back as often as you like, and there is no wrong answer anywhere in it. If you would rather print the questions and write on paper, there is a version for that too.

Have a listen
Scan to hear the playlist
Your Spotify playlist of every song, opened by scanning the code on the certificate.
Why music does this
A few bars of an old song can bring back a kitchen, a car, a dance floor, or a face, often more clearly than a photograph can.
As a gift
A life in song makes a present that is really about the person receiving it. You can buy a gift certificate and they fill in the questions themselves, or with Petra.
For a printed keepsake under the tree, order by Friday 13 November. Gift certificates can be bought any time right up to Christmas.
