We recently asked one of our customers, Sam D., if we could share his heartwarming story.
Sam just had a grandson - baby Dexter. He wanted to get a personalized song for Dexter's first birthday! As he grows up, he wants Dexter to know how much his family loves and supports him.
Sam included lots of details in his order, like how Dexter has his daddy's heart & momma's smile, how excited he is to watch him grow up, and be able to "run and play" soon.
The result? A song that can be cherished by the whole family for years to come.
Sam ordered a three-minute song with the "happy" mood. We think the artist nailed it!
Lyrics
VERSE 1
It's a brand new world that you're stepping into
It's a brand new life with a different view
I'm a proud grandpa that will watch you grow
I can't wait to teach you everything I know
When life gets you down
Remember that I am around
CHORUS
I know you'll grow up to be big and strong
I'll always love you with open arms
I hope you find you're right where you belong (where you belong)
And if you need me, you can always call
Through the highs and lows through it all
VERSE 2
You've got your daddy's heart and your mommas smile
And in the blink of an eye you'll be running wild
You've got so much love in you I hope one day you'll see
What a gift you are to the world and why you are unique
When life gets you down
Remember that I am around
CHORUS
I know you'll grow up to be big and strong
I'll always love you with open arms
I hope you find you're right where you belong (where you belong)
And if you need me, you can always call
Through the highs and lows through it all
CHORUS REPEATED
I know you'll grow up to be big and strong
I'll always love you with open arms
I hope you find you're right where you belong (where you belong)
I know you'll grow up to be big and strong
I'll always love you with open arms
I hope you find you're right where you belong (where you belong)
And if you need me, you can always call
Through the highs and lows through it all
About the Artist
Dustin Belt has been a touring musician for the last 15 years, playing alongside artists such as Big Time Rush, Andy Grammer, Heffron Drive, Selena Gomez, Cody Simpson, Victoria Justice and more. He is a multiple Billboard charting producer and songwriter, who has performed in over 30 countries and on multiple TV shows such as The Today Show, Good Morning America, Ellen, Live with Kelly and Michael, The View and countless others. As a songwriter, he says "I love a good challenge, but my major influences are in country and pop." Based in Los Angeles, California, Dustin's style is often compared to The 1975, Journey, Lauv, Kygo, and Illenium.
As a Songlorious artist, Dustin says, "Songwriting is like a muscle that has to be constantly worked and flexed. A "happy birthday" or anniversary song isn't something that would normally come down the pipeline, so it works as a great tool to use a part of that muscle that might not normally get worked on. It's a fun challenge to try and incorporate as many unique attributes into a song as possible, whether it be phrases, words or ideas. My goal is for the end receiver to hear my track and be 100% confident that they made the right decision."
