tunes for soldiers/family listing

[keithl]

Just wrapped up these two tonight. Thought you guys might take a listen.Not sure if they are fiitting the "pop" singer/songwriter, but I am proud of the tunes and content.Hopefully they get a forward, but if not, I am still glad I completed them.IF I FALLhttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=106550&stream=1CAN YOU TELL ME WHYhttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=1065 ... WRITER-POP SONGS (Male or Female) are wanted by a well-established Music Supervisor for a cable network TV series. This show tackles the issues and experiences that the families of soldiers might face. Lyrically, the possibilities are broad but you may want to focus on material that talks about family life/love and loyalty/long-distance relationships/heartbreak/”missing you”/life vs. death/etc. to stay along the lines of the show concept. They are looking for all tempos, but would like a more “pop” sound sonically. They are definitely open to both male and female vocals for this one. This is a broadcast quality listing, so be sure the recording sounds excellent! Please submit 2-3 songs online or per CD, include lyrics. As usual, you will be notified by email if you were Forwarded or Returned. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Noon PST on Monday, Mar. 3, 2008. TAXI #D080303SS

Flat,Good songs dude! Not quite sure if they fit the pop category. But if not, I'm sure they'll work for some other listings. Good luck to ya'.ibanez468

Hey B FlatOutstanding songs. IMHO Both are really excellent. restrained yet powerful. I enjoyed these imensely. I agree with Ibanez when he says that they may not fit this catagory. But I'm sure there is a place for these. Great work.Derek

thanks guys,...yes...with the lyrical content, I found a struggle to make a pop song, but felt real strong about how they came out. Hopefully, somebody can connect with them at some point or maybe they can use it elsewhere for the series.

THe vocals are very good with a *slight* Dylan-esq sound (on the endings of words) but still very unique. Unfortunately, I think the first song is not going to work simply because it is sort of about "Death", which the listing explicitly recommends staying away from that subject. I gotta figure they have a good reason for saying that.The second one also has references to saying goodbye (life disappearing, we ain't come home today, etc) so again, might run into the same problem. Definitely quality material though, so perhaps they would allow it. However, seems unlikely given the notation in the listing about subject matter. Excellent job, I just think a different listing might give them a better chance at getting the forward.

Hey Questor,The way I read it, I think they are catagories:love and loyaltylong-distance relationshipsheartbreakmissing youlife vs deathHopefully that is the case...thanks for taking a listen!

I listened to both of these songs and I like them. I posted my song in the Dispatch listing. I only did piano/ voice...totally ignoring the pop sound they asked for so I'll probably get returned I hope all of us get forwarded.Charlie
