Genre?

[funsongs]

Wow. What luck. I just got an email with a request for a pop ballad. I'm pretty sure that's what this is supposed to be. If anybody thinks it's something different let me know like I said I haven't been very good at figuring out genres. Fingers crossed.

Pardon the rePete: but I just don't get 'ballad' out of this one;
but it might be to the ears of the screeners/client;
certainly worth going for it.

PS: worm food? sent you a PM about that.

How do you define a ballad?

More of a story song, IMHO - a tale - like the theme from The Beverly Hillbillies:
"The Ballad of Jed Clampett"

Ohhhhhhhhh.... Gotcha

So would this be considered just pop? For some reason I picture pop as being a faster tempo. So I thought a ballad would be pop at a slower tempo. This is my problem I can never get the genres right

Sorry that wasn't more helpful towards you deciding and dialing in where your song best 'fits'.
Hopefully others will chime in and point you in the right direction.
