A song for a husband is the last conversation you didn't get to have, made into something you can keep. It is the room you built together, held still on a page. It is the inside joke nobody else gets, written down so the years can't take it.
What this kind of song holds
These songs hold the specific shape of the marriage — the kitchen at 6am, the side of the bed that's empty now, the way he laughed at his own joke before the punchline landed. They hold what only the two of you knew. The forge writes them with the discipline that the song is for HIM, not for the people who will hear it.
What to put in the intake
Give us the early years AND the late years. Give us the worst fight AND the best morning. Give us the song you danced to. Give us what you would tell him if you could be in the room with him one more time. We protect everything as private; only what you want surfaced will be in the lyric.
