Thankful for a forward after a long day... :) I've got to thank Pedro Costa for so many forwards on this - I'm sure your mix made it happen!

Acoustic-based, Down-to-Mid-Tempo SONGS about LOVE are needed by a Hollywood Music Supervisor for a Hit TV show. They're actively searching for Songs with Male OR Female vocals that sound like they could be heard on the same playlist as artists like Joshua Radin, Ed Sheeran, Pricilla Ahn, etc. Please check out the following songs to hear the general stylistic ballpark that could work for this show: “My Love” by Joshua Radin “Give Me Love” Ed Sheeran “I Don’t Have Time To Be In Love” by Pricilla Ahn Your Songs should have a stripped-down, earthy feel, and can range from the typical Indie/Alt Singer/Songwriter sound to a more commercial Top-40 feel. Introspective songs with a heartfelt sense of yearning and desire should help you set the mood for romantic scenes and storylines on this show. Please don’t submit anything that’s too upbeat or aggressive. Avoid submitting songs that sound dated, stiff, or MIDI-driven. Give them sweet melody lines with simple and direct lyrics about LOVE. It’s really important that your song has universal lyrics for this one. Please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, profanity, etc. Your vocal performance should be warm, engaging, and strong enough to carry the emotion of your lyrics in an honest and convincing way. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. The estimated license fee for this use is $500. This is a Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you'll keep 100% of your Publishing and Master rights, plus you'll also keep 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control 100% of the Copyright and Master to pitch for this opportunity. All Songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a person hand-picked by the Music Supervisor. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Songs no later than THURSDAY, July 17th, 2014, by 5pm (PDT). TAXI #U140717LS

Congratulations. Really great example of how a simple acoustic song can be so powerful when it's sung and performed so well.

I got another forward on this song yesterday for the following listing:

U140819SS

ACOUSTIC-BASED ALTERNATIVE SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS with Male OR Female vocals are needed by a Music Supervisor working on a new TV Series. He’s on the hunt for Mid-Tempo Songs that could be heard on the same playlist as artists like Ben Howard, Gabrielle Alpine, Ed Sheeran, etc., etc. Please listen to the following songs to hear the tone, tempo, and feel that could work for this pitch: “Keep Your Head Up” by Ben Howard “Home” by Gabrielle Alpine “The A Team” by Ed Sheeran Note: The Supervisor is not looking for sound-alikes for this pitch. If you’ve got songs that sound like they’d be on the same radio station as the referenced artists, send them in! Give him heartfelt, introspective, and nostalgic Singer/Songwriter songs with natural, organic, acoustic-based instrumentation. Make sure your songs are well crafted with interesting melodic hooks and an uplifting dynamic arc. Songs that are supported by sparse, mellow-sounding instruments like bass, drums, ambient electric guitar, strings, etc., could help to add the emotional lift that this Music Supervisor is looking for. Please make sure that your instrumentation is not to loud, chaotic, or bombastic. Songs with lyrics themes about family, nostalgia, love, home, growing pains, etc., could all hit the mark relating to this show’s storyline. Universal lyrics will work best. Please steer clear of references to specific names, places, times, dates, brands, etc. Your vocal performance should be compelling and Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. The estimated license fee for this use is $500 - $1,000. This is a Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% of your Publishing and Master rights, plus you’ll also keep 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control 100% of the Copyright and Master to pitch for this opportunity. All Songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a person hand-picked by the Music Supervisor. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Songs no later than TUESDAY, AUGUST 19th, 2014 by 5:00pm (PDT). TAXI #U140819SS

Woohoo! :D Now to get it placed! ;)
