Everyman Songwriting

A song written just for you

Custom songs for weddings, anniversaries, memorials, birthdays, and personal gifts. Written from your story and recorded by me, a real songwriter. Not a template, and never AI.

A songwriting notebook and coffee

More than a gift

This isn’t just a song. It’s a way to capture a story, a relationship, or a moment in time and turn it into something you can come back to forever.

Every song is written from scratch around your story, your people, and what matters most to you.

And unlike automated services, it’s personal from start to finish. You work directly with the person writing and recording your song.

How it works

You don’t need to know how to write a song. That’s my job.

  1. You share your story

    A simple questionnaire about the person, the moment, and what you want the song to capture.

  2. I write your song

    Chords, melody, and lyrics built from the ground up. You hear a first version and give feedback until it’s right.

  3. I record it

    Real vocals and real instruments, recorded and produced in my studio. No templates, no shortcuts.

  4. You keep it forever

    A finished recording and lyric sheet, plus any add-ons you choose. Live performance is available for some occasions.

What you get

  • A fully written custom song
  • Real vocals and acoustic instrumentation
  • Professional recording and production
  • Final audio file and a keepsake lyric sheet
  • Optional lyric video or live performance

Investment

Every song is built around your story, so pricing depends on scope and add-ons. Most projects fall between:

$250–$500

Songs I’ve written

Every project is personal. Here are a few songs written to honor incredible people.

“Melody of Love” · Written for Emily & Alex

A song telling how Emily and Alex met, how Alex painted their love story as a way to propose, and the happily ever after they’re living now.

“Checking In” · Written for the family of John Albino

“Colin has truly captured the heart and soul of our family in the most incredible way. This song brings tears to my eyes, yet reminds me of the most beautiful memories we had. My father’s essence is perfectly captured in this touching song, and I am forever grateful for such a precious tribute.”
Dana Albino-Muntz

The first listen · “Checking In”

“My grandfather, a prisoner of war and Purple Heart recipient from World War II, and my father, also a veteran, have greatly influenced my understanding and appreciation of this day. It was the perfect opportunity to debut a song Colin Roberts wrote in remembrance of my dad.”
DeAnna Busby-Rast

“That’s How You Know” · Written for Ed Thomas

“Colin created a beautiful song to commemorate the life of Ed Thomas, who is a veteran who grew up in Kansas City, worked for the railroad, and now spends his free time target shooting.”

“Coffee in the Driveway” · Written for Tom Roberts

“Colin created a beautiful song remembering the simple conversations and time spent together while sentimentally aching over his father’s passing.”

Written for BisonHeartGroup Networking

“When we were launching BisonHeartGroup Networking, I knew Colin was the perfect choice to capture the essence, emotions, and raw feelings of our community and mission. He delivered beyond expectations! I assure you, if you choose Colin to tell your story through song, the result will be a cherished treasure.”

After you fill out the form, I’ll send a short questionnaire. I write a first draft, then we schedule a time for me to play it for you, and we adjust as needed. Your finished song has at least two verses and a chorus (usually more), plus a keepsake lyric sheet as a PDF.
How long does it take?
Most songs are delivered within one week of confirming your order.
How much does a custom song cost?
Most projects fall between $250 and $500, depending on length, complexity, and add-ons. Every song includes a consultation, custom melody and lyrics, and a professionally produced recording. Reach out and I’ll give you a specific quote.
How will my song be delivered?
We’ll pick what works best for you:
  • An emailed download link you can share with anyone (included)
