Meet 84-year-old Liz and teens Kirsti and Larni—the trio behind the anthem Lizzy’s Life. 🎶 This song draws from Lizzy’s own journey, from her first job at the shoe shop 👠 to the daring moments of sneaking out at 17. It’s a celebration of authenticity, embracing every twist and turn of life, and always staying true to who you are. A reminder that no matter your age, it’s never too late to live with joy, spirit, and a smile. 💖

Songs For You culminates in the creation of cassette tapes, each one featuring the songs crafted throughout the program. 🎶
The cassette—an iconic piece of music technology from the past—perfectly symbolises the connection between older and younger generations. Positioned between eras, it bridges the gap, representing shared experiences and the timeless power of music. In a world of rapidly changing technology, the cassette serves as a beautiful reminder that music has the unique ability to unite us across generations. 🎵✨

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do! 18-year-old Nyamar surprised us with a stunning a ca****la rendition of the song she and fellow teen Blake co-wrote for their newfound older friend, Lyn. Inspired by Lyn’s beautiful 50-year relationship with her husband Ian, the teens poured their hearts into capturing the love, dedication, and commitment that define their story. With Blake on guitar and Nyamar's stunning voice, this track is a treat.

Did you know someone, who has found true love in a fish and chip line? Meet 82-year-old Graeme, whose rom-com-worthy meet-cute with his life-long love began right there. Inspired by this heartwarming tale, teens Duncan and Banjo created a song in Graeme's honour—complete with a chorus taking him right back there.
