Social Awareness Anyone????

[mrsunshine]

...did anyone go for the 'Social Awareness' cover listing?? Here it is:COVER SONGS THAT RAISE SOCIAL AWARENESS and/or make subtle political statements are needed by a Music Publisher who has signed dozens of TAXI songs/writers. These songs are for a Compilation CD designed to raise social awareness through music and it will be distributed by a Major Retailer, in addition to being utilized for non profit causes. The President of this company will be screening these submissions himself. He's referred to "Stand By Me" or Blind Faith - "Can't Find My Way Home" as great examples of songs that touch on society/war/politics without using an overt or overly persuasive approach. He's really looking for very creative song choices and excellent arrangements, preferably contemporary and unique in the production value/performance. He'd like to have some "hip" versions of songs that signify an important time in America's history, whether from the past or related to current events. He is not interested in an "in your face" lyric that shoves a viewpoint down the listener's throat, but rather a subtle yet emotional relating of a human experience that might revolve around politics/war/homelessness/poverty/abuse/etc. The bottom line for this one is a "real story" told by the common person experiencing life on a very raw, tangible level. You can get creative in terms of style and just about every contemporary/current genre and approach will be considered. No originals for this one, please. Recordings must be at Master quality - excellent home demos should be just fine. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received by October 20, 2008.
