When they heard it
Someone in your life has a story like this one.

“But they're impossible to buy for.”
That is usually the point. Someone who already owns everything, or who insists on nothing, cannot be given another thing. But nobody already owns a song about their own life. It cannot be returned, outgrown, or found in a shop, and it can never be recreated for anyone else — it is built from what you alone know about them.
“I'm not a writer.”
You don't have to be. Derek answered a few questions, the way you would text a friend. Our songwriters turned those answers into the song you just heard.
“What if it misses?”
Then you tell us and we make it right. Every song carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so the risk of finding out is not yours to carry.
“Is it worth it?”
Custom songs typically cost $500 and up. This costs a fraction of that, arrives inside a week, and is theirs for the rest of their life.

[0:00] [typing] [0:00] My name's Derek Casper, and I I wrote this song for my granddaughter. [0:04] Um, her name's Casper Basinger. [0:08] Um, before I ordered, what made me hesitate was that I didn't know if I could say the right things or put it in the right way [0:16] that she would understand how special it meant to me. [0:20] Um, finally decided to do it. [0:22] [clears throat] [0:24] Um, it just was going to be the best thing I could give her for her baptism, [0:30] and so I figured it's worth the try, and I'd heard a lot of good things about uh about the service, about you, and so that's why I tried. [0:38] Um, what happened when they heard it? [0:41] [emotional] [0:42] I'm kind of a little emotional. [0:48] Her mom cried the most, my daughter, my granddaughter was just like, she going with her hands all the time through it. [0:55] But it was very special, it meant a lot, it was very, very nice. [1:00] What would I say to who's on the fence right now? Um, do it. [1:03] It's such an amazing thing because it's so personal and so special, [1:08] and it's just um it's something for a whole lifetime. [1:16] And I would do it again. [1:17] [typing]
The words they heard
[Verse 1] Five golden years I held you near, The best I’ve known, I still hold dear. A little girl who stole my heart, Creating magic from the start. From a whisper, soft and true, A name that made me part of you. [Chorus] Oh Casper, carrying my name, A heart of gold, a steady flame. You’d give your all to those in need, Your kindness lives in every deed. Today you choose with courage true, To walk with Christ in all you do. [Verse 2] Golden blonde and standing tall, Green eyes that seem to see it all. That beautiful and knowing smile, You called me Pada all the while. A friend first opened up the door, You chose to listen, then learn more. [Chorus] Oh Casper, carrying my name, A heart of gold, a steady flame. You’d give your all to those in need, Your kindness lives in every deed. Today you choose with courage true, To walk with Christ in all you do. [Bridge] Beneath the water, then you rise, A chosen promise in your eyes. Know this, sweet girl, how proud I am— You found your faith and took His hand. [Verse 3] Whatever storms may come your way, May His light guide you day by day. There’s so much life you’ve yet to know, Keep making beauty as you grow. The person you’re becoming, I see, Is one of life’s great gifts to me. [Chorus] Oh Casper, carrying my name, A heart of gold, a steady flame. You’d give your all to those in need, Your kindness lives in every deed. Today you choose with courage true, To walk with Christ in all you do. [Outro] Go on and shine, my darling girl, With faith and kindness through this world.
