I submitted these tracks to two feel-good listings. The listing that got the forwards is below.
On Sunny Day, the screener who returned them suggested I replace the bass with another bass patch that's not so up-front, and replace the guitar with a ukelele.
I actually like that idea — anyone out there play a uke?
His comment on Lighthearted was — Needs simpler, more melodic content.
So yeah, I was surprised when they were both forwarded this week.
The screener who forwarded them had no comment on either piece. But hey, I'll take the forwards.

FEEL-GOOD INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a NON-Exclusive Music Licensing Company that's owned by a Music Supervisor. Give him well-crafted, contemporary, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues in a wide range of styles such as: Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Acoustic Singer/Songwriter, EDM, Country, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Indie Folk, etc., etc., etc. Quoting the source: "We want Cues that can give a feeling of inspiration, optimism, and positivity. There are tons of requests for this style, so we need tons of great material." Give them Cues that would work well for a fun, lighthearted TV commercial or transitions between scenes in Reality TV Shows. Please submit bright, positive, emotionally upbeat Instrumental Cues that sound legit and authentic to the genre you choose. Hybrid Cues that combine elements from different genres could work for this pitch, but don't make your combos so out there that they're hard to use. Submissions should be approximately 30 seconds to 2.5 minutes in length. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This Company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE 50/50 deal. You'll split any sync fees 50/50. You'll keep 100% of your Writer's share, and the Company will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Please submit one to three Instrumental Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Company - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than Tuesday, June 2, 2015. TAXI #Y150602IC
