The story behind the song
I’m making this for my older sister’s thirtieth birthday. We used hairbrushes as microphones in the hallway after school and burned our first batch of birthday cupcakes. She still sends me a voice message at sunrise on my birthday. As her younger brother, I want to celebrate her courage and make her laugh before the cake arrives.
The song began with these details:
- Hairbrush microphones for childhood hallway dance routines
- Burning the first batch of birthday cupcakes
- A sunrise voice message every birthday
- Turning thirty and choosing a brave new year
