Anyone writing on the: "Somewhere over the Rainbow"

[greatmoves]

Hey All,

I am looking to get with someone on the "Somewhere over the rainbow" listing? I would like to give a go at it with someone that can play the song.(guitar or piano(strings) My part would be of the creative nature, cause I don't have the song in my bag, thus could not do it justice, but would really like to throw around some Ideas for it, but would need quick version from you ASAP (should consist of different musicial ideas), being time is of the essence.

The SAME TOP-TIER NY AD AGENCY that recently ran a listing (TAXI Listing # Y110411SS) looking for original songs that could beat Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's popular ukulele version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is now asking for YOUR COVER VERSIONS of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to make sure they've got all bases covered (pun intended). Quoting NY, "ONE or TWO INSTRUMENTS capturing a warm, heartfelt, AUTHENTIC SINGER/SONGWRITER vibe with a GORGEOUS MALE, FEMALE, or DUET vocal should do the trick." It's all about evoking an UPLIFTING, POSITIVE EMOTION in the viewer with your cover version of the full-length song. (They're NOT looking for original songs in this listing!) They're NOT looking for sound-alikes, so avoid that urge. Give them your ORIGINAL ARRANGEMENT of this timeless classic and make sure you put a lump in their throats when they hear it--but DO NOT get overdramatic or sappy. While a cover version may not pay as well as an original, this should still be a REALLY juicy payday with a nice, long run on TV. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No Full Critiques from TAXI. THE COMPANY WILL NOTIFY US OF ANY MEMBERS WHO CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY, AND YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. YOU MUST OWN or CONTROL 100% OF THE MASTER RECORDING. If your music is selected, the agency will contact you directly. Submissions must be received no later than Wednesday, April 13th at 9:30 am. TAXI Listing #Y110413CS
