Anniversary · Pop

Babe, one year. We made it — that tiny place, the kitchen too small for two, the upstairs neighbor who apparently never sleeps. And you know what I'll remember? Not any of the annoying stuff. The laughing. How we turned every little disaster into a story we tell now. I didn't marry you for the easy days; I married you because you make the hard ones fun. I'd pick this — pick you — every single time. Happy anniversary. I love you.

Song story

Background

Jared is 29, and he and his wife Renee just got through their first year of marriage in a shoebox apartment where the kitchen barely fit two people and the upstairs neighbor never slept. They laughed their way through most of it. For their anniversary he wanted to celebrate how good they are at the small, unglamorous days, so he turned that first year into a bright pop song.
