emotion, longing, soaring payoff - but - adult contemporary?

Here is the listing:

INDIE MUSIC PUBLISHING COMPANY specializing in Film/TV placements needs ADULT CONTEMPORARY SONGS and INSTRUMENTALS in the wide range of Celine Dion, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, etc. They'll be looking for songs that have TONS of EMOTIONAL impact that can capture the listeners attention from START to FINISH. If you submit a song, be sure your lyric themes are UNIVERSAL and touch on emotions such as LOVE and LONGING. Be sure your chorus provides a perfect SOARING PAY-OFF to the listener. Vocal performances needed to be STRONG and sung with conviction. If you submit an instrumental be sure it can maintain interest throughout. MALE and/or FEMALE vocals are BOTH OK. A good sounding demo will work here; the focus is on the EMOTION of the song or instrumental. Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent home recordings are fine). You must own or control 100% of your composition and master recording. Please submit one to three songs and/or instrumentals online or per CD, include lyrics (if applicable). All submissions will be screened by the OWNER of the company on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Monday, January 7, 2013.

I just recorded a song called Don't Smile at Me which I wrote a couple years ago. The idea was to do an 'intimate singersongwriter' style thing for film/tv. Well, as I realized from posting this in Peer to Peer, the harp stuff is probably too busy for a typical understory placement, (maybe as a standalone placement it might be ok), so I remixed it.

Anyway, I saw this listing today and I'm not sure if this song qualifies as 'adult contemporary' but i do think the song has the emotion, longing, and a soaring payoff the listing asks for.

Does anyone think it would work for this listing, and if so, which mix?
