Songwriter Michael Graetzer Visits The GingerNewYork TV Show in New York City

NEW YORK - Feb. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- Michael Graetzer: is not your typical songwriter. A Song Just for You, the business he started in 2007, has him creating personalized songs to commemorate life’s special events. The process starts with an in-person interview during which Graetzer picks up on details that make his subject’s story unique. He then writes lyrics that sets to music based on the client’s taste. The icing on the cake is that he will perform the song at the wedding or special event for which it was composed.

Graetzer, who has written 150 songs in his career and won an award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International, is often moved when hearing his clients’ stories. He takes pride in crafting the perfect lyrics to add a unique and lasting touch to memorable moments. “People are just so thrilled to hear very personal details set to music,” he said.

Michael Graetzer has been a songwriter for all of his life and went to Berklee College of Music as a songwriting major. He moved to Nashville for awhile and wrote songs there and then moved to New York City. Michael started working in advertising. In advertising, as a writer, he was always writing to very specific parameters. Michael then thought, “Why don’t I do this for other people, for their special events?”

Fifty percent of his songwriting work involves writing wedding songs for couples.

Michael Graetzer explains couples usually start off telling him about the big things about the relationship which are completely useless for a song, like, “I’m not happy unless she’s happy” or “I’m not happy unless he’s happy.” But then they’ll sneak in little things and don’t realize it. Like, “When we were picking apples…” They have these very unique, individual stories that totally make good songwriting material.

One story that sticks out in his head was where the truth made for the song:
This guy took his girlfriend up to Maine to where his family gathering was and they carved their initials in a heart on this tree. And then they went back the next year to the same place, but he snuck out early in the morning. And on the other side of the tree, he carved, “Will you marry me?” And then he brought her to the tree and they saw where they carved before and then he said, “Sometimes when you talk to a tree, the tree talks back.” And he took her around to the backside of the tree and she carved, “Yes.” It’s just so touching; you couldn’t make that up.
