Family surprises dad on his 50th birthday with a special custom song that leaves him in tears

Sometimes all it takes to brighten somebody's day is a small, thoughtful act of love. It could be as simple as a flower, a helping hand or a heartfelt gesture from a loved one on a special occasion. For one dad, his 50th birthday became unforgettable when his wife played a customized song that mentioned his beloved truck, Snow White. The touching moment was shared in a video uploaded on Instagram by @Songfinch, a platform that collaborates with artists to create personalized songs for special occasions.

"This dad got the surprise of his life when his wife started playing a song that mentioned his beloved truck, Snow White, on his 50th birthday. P.S.: It can be tough to drive with tears in your eyes - that's why we recommend revealing your custom songs when parked," read the caption of the video. In the video, the dad is seen driving his truck while his wife plays the song in the background. Initially unaware, he jams to the tune, not realizing it was specially written and recorded for him. His surprise becomes evident when the lyrics mention his cherished truck, Snow White. He gasps as the song goes, "You're always there for us, like when you fixed up Jada's truck, there's nothing you couldn't do."

"What's this?" the dad asks, visibly surprised as the lyrics, "When you pull up in Snow White, you brighten up our lives," play in the background. Overcome with emotion, he shouts, "You got me," and removes his shades to wipe away his tears. He grows quiet, listening intently to the heartfelt song with tears in his eyes. The camera pans to the two kids in the backseat, joyfully jamming along to the tune. The heartwarming reaction sparked an outpouring of responses in the comment section, with the top comment coming from the artist who sang the song. "This is priceless!! Hope to write more songs for you all and make amazing memories like this!!!," wrote @trevormartinmusic. "Can you stop making us cry @songfinch?.... JK, please keep posting these tear-jerkers!" added @thestreetsofourlives. 

The post was later shared on Reddit by u/bigbusta where it again received a lot of love from netizens. "'I don’t want anything' but then cries when they get something perfect," wrote u/lakegimmer252. "Good dads are so freaking precious. I think they don't get nearly enough praise. We should all let our dads know how much we appreciate them more often," added u/Watnleven. "I knew what was coming and thought he was well prepared with the sunglasses on. Didn't expect him to take them off. Great guy and dad!" wrote u/maryisdead. Another comment highlighted the significance of making someone feel appreciated, emphasizing how small, thoughtful gestures like this can leave a lasting impact. "That's all a man wants. To feel appreciated," read a comment by u/Hefty-Perspective654.
