The moment they hear their own name in a song

Mum heard her name and stopped
Eyes closed for the whole chorus
Grandad's first song at 82What people are saying
He went completely quiet
“Ten years married and I never know what to get him. I wrote about the pub quiz where we met and lost every round. The preview had the quiz in the chorus. He listened twice in the car before he could speak, then asked me to send it to his mum.”
Claire H.Primary school teacher, LeedsBetter than another jumper
“For Graham's 70th I put in our caravan holidays in Tenby and the way he still calls me 'trouble'. I heard the free preview first, then bought it. We played it at his party and the whole room went quiet. He's had it on in the shed all week.”
Pauline D.Retired nurse, SwanseaSaid what I never could
“Dad and I don't really do soppy. For Father's Day I told them about his Sunday car boot trips and the terrible jokes he tells my kids. I listened to the preview on my break and had to hide in the staff room. He sent it to all his brothers.”
Aisha K.A&E nurse, BirminghamIt sounded like us
“We'd been long distance for a year, so for his birthday I added our late-night video calls and the Edinburgh train platform. I worried it would be cheesy, but it just sounded like us. He played it on speaker for his flatmates and rang me in tears.”
