Birthday Songs

1.
Dee, that rhymes with gee, that rhymes with red tent, it’s no accident. The kids that you teach all though your life Out in the world, they’ll be inspired but the things you say and do The kids that you teach all through your life, out in the world They’ll be inspired by the things you say and do You stay up all night with the shamen get up at 5 an do your praying Opa loves you. Dee, you’re such a cunt, you like it blunt, you won’t mind me saying it. You’re looking at me like I’m your tribe, bringing me crisps like it’s a bribe You know it’s where our weakness lies. You’re giving up cheese, giving up dairy, giving up gluten not the Virgin Mary though, you love her so. Dee, you’re such a ride. My hands are tied, cause you’re Richie’s bride. We’re pees in a pod and you deserve the best in life You little perv, you little saint, Saint of Paint
2.
Silky sweet sour stewed-plum Fireworks and apple cinnamon The crispy cold air, the fire in your hair Your drawings and the king of oyster Lydia, Lydia Lydia Lydia, Lydia Lydia You’re just so full of surprises Cherries and peaches, no gluten So long as we don’t talk about Putin The little bets we make The spongey cakes you bake So long as you don’t cook me steak Lydia, Lydia Lydia Lydia, Lydia Lydia You’re just so full of surprises Chinese fried rice We’re picking out lice You’re walking me from school You’re so styleee and so cool Lydia, Lydia Lydia Lydia, Lydia Lydia You’re just so full of surprises

Eilo rides her bike ‘round Berlin Perfect nails Born to dance in Summer skin Wild as sin, understand She sings so sad She likes it with the lights all on She’s so bad She feels it with her latin latin latin latin heart Eilo Eilo ,She knows her pop and her hip hop Cool as fuck Born to sing and do her thing She’s all bling bling, understand She sings so sad She likes it with the lights all on She’s so bad She feels it with her latin latin latin heart Eilo Eilo, she’s funnier than you She’s funnier than me She’s telling you the truth She’s one of the girls who gets the shit done on the bus for everyone She sings so sad She likes it with the lights all on She’s so bad She feels it with her latin latin latin heart Eilo

Aoifs, my danish pastry I feel you Johanna, my Anna Karenina, my little burgerkinga. Look at you sitting there making a dent in my couch in between your traveling with your sausage in your batch, you’re doing some research for your literary adventures Her Chic Chic Chic Chic Chic Chic Chamomile streaks I need to get you drinking so we can hear you singing Nothing compares to you Incredibly dramatic, an absolute romantic in all your languages She’s pottering about the top of her game She’s taking on the world and its Pointless fame With her Chic Chic Chic Chic Chic Chic Chamomile streaks I’ll never cut you hair again And nothing will compare again to you and Smiggy, looking like a pixie being oh so witty, We all know she’s not as sweet as as she seems but she’s Queen equality Her Chic Chic Chic Chic Chic Chic Chamomile streaks Aoifs

about

A couple of years ago, I decided that instead of buying something for a friend's birthday, I would do something special and write a song about her. Something she could keep, that would make her feel smile and feel loved.

It was a big hit at her party and people said they would love one too.
So encouraged by friends, I thought I would offer this as a service, for birthdays or any celebrations.

These songs are very personal to each person who they are about. You can click on each one to read the lyrics. Dee's and Eileen's both use swear words so don't listen to them if you have a problem with that.

You can buy a personal song from me.
The way it works is I send you a questionnaire for me to find out about the person who the song is about and I write it based upon your answers.

You can choose between acoustic(like Dee's or Lydia's) or produced with electronic toys(like Eileen's). I can also write a song on the piano if you like.
The two acoustic songs here were both recorded on my phone but I would record your song in my proper studio like The 'Funnier than you' song, whether acoustic or electronic.

Nina Hynes Berlin, Germany

I have been releasing records since 1999. The internet has freed things up considerably. I do like it for that.
