New Pop song " It's My Life "

Post by songmaster » Mon Oct 16, 2017 4:35 pm

Hey everyone, I just got this song completed and would like to know any ala's or any other comments are also welcome. The song was produced by Drew Middleton and I think he did an awesome job. I wrote it for film and TV and now I am wondering if I could also pitch it to artist related listings ? Anyway, the lyrics are below. Thanks in advance. The song is on my Taxi page.
I have now put a link to SoundCloud for this song. Hope it works :roll:

It's My Life

I can't run, from my DNA
I was born, a reckless renegade
There's a war, goin on and it's gonna rage
Deep inside, like a wild fire, in a hurricane

But it's my life
It's my life to live
It's my life, it's my life to live
Wrong or right, it's my fight
It's my life to live
It's my time, it's my life, to live
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

People stare, when I'm on the street
The cities vibe, is like music I can see
I just sing, with the lights turning red and green
Then I smile, a stupid smile, like I'm in a dream

Chorus

Bridge

I don't mind these times
When I'm all alone
And my pockets are empty again
Even out in the rain
I'm still in the zone
Cause I love being who I am

Chorus...end.

This has been an on-going glitch with the new Taxi format - supposedly they're trying to correct it.
+1 for the Soundcloud link posting; works best, and you can put the lyrics there instead of in the post here.
Hope that helps.

Sorry guys. This has been happening to me too. I will try and figure out how to post it on Soundcloud. Hopefully Taxi will get this figured out.

Hey Tom,

Green Day and Blink 182 would be good a las in my opinion.

Given those two a las I think pitching it to artists would be hard, as they generally write their own songs. Plus, I believe Taxi has way more success with film & tv placements than actual artists placements. Having said that, the songs is fully formed production wise and that is what artists look for. That's my two cents! Nice job.

Thanks John and Peter!

Yeah John, I can see the " Green Day " connection. I watched a bunch of Green Day videos last night. I wasn't very familiar with them ( must be my age ) lol. But I can see they would make a good ala for this song.

Glad you could connect Peter, I am a bit of a computer caveman when it comes to doing anything technical .

Thank you both for your input :)
