A Custom Song for Your Long Distance Relationship

There is no address problem with this one. Nothing ships, nothing clears customs, nothing sits in a depot for eleven days two countries away. It lands in an inbox, and forty minutes later somebody is sitting on a bed in another time zone with headphones on, listening to it alone.

That is a different listening situation than a party, and the song should be written for it. Long distance has its own furniture. The call that starts when one of you has finished dinner and the other is making coffee. The shared note on the phone with flight numbers in it. The number written on the whiteboard that goes down by one every morning. The specific terminal door where the pickup always happens. The show you both start at the same second with the call still connected. Put those in and it stops being a love song in general and becomes a song about your two cities.

The hard days are not the anniversaries. They are the ordinary Tuesdays with nothing on the calendar and eleven weeks until the next flight. That is when this actually gets played.

You do not have to be a writer and you do not have to say the big thing out loud. Give us the two cities, the routine, the next date in the countdown, and one small thing they do on every call.

An original, studio-quality song made from your details, $19.99, in the inbox within 24 hours, wherever that inbox opens.

Start the order with your two cities and the date of the next flight.
