All comments welcomed. Thanks in advance!

LULLABY-Style INSTRUMENTAL COVERS of JAMES BOND THEME SONGS are needed by a very busy Music Library with a great track record of placements in Films and TV shows!

This company is looking for Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references. Please note, the following 3 references are NOT on the list of Covers that this Library requested – so please use them as a starting point to get in the general stylistic ballpark regarding tone, tempo, and style needed, but do NOT cover them.

"A Piece of Heaven Lullaby" by Brickman Lullabies (DO NOT COVER)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrFCOkS0InU

"Here Comes The Sun" by Julian Byrd (DO NOT COVER)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpqW4F49zD0

"... Baby One More Time" by Dr. Sleepy Time (DO NOT COVER)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVTZst32C6Y

This Library is open to Instrumental Covers of any James Bond Movie Theme Song, including (but not limited to) the ones specifically mentioned by the Library listed below:

"James Bond Theme" by Monty Norman
"Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey
"Nobody Does it Better" by Carly Simon
"The Living Daylights" by A-ha
"A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran
"Live and Let Die" by Wings
"For Your Eyes Only" by Sheena Easton
"The Man With The Golden Gun" by Lulu
"License To Kill" by Gladys Knight
Please submit well-composed, soothing Lullaby Instrumental Covers of James Bond Theme Songs with soft, sparse, and delicate arrangements in the general ballpark of the references. Lullaby-friendly instrumentation such as solo piano, toy piano, strings, acoustic guitar, etc, will likely work best for this request. Please be sure your production is polished and any virtual instruments or sounds you use are high-quality and not dated sounding. If you have covers that could lull a baby to sleep, send them in!

TAXI Tip: We recommend sticking as close as possible to the original melodies/motifs of the pieces you cover so they're more instantly recognizable.

Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers a 3-Year EXCLUSIVE Digital Distribution and licensing deal. You’ll split any sync fees and/or net income amounts received by the company (after 3rd party commissions, liability insurance, and web hosting fees, if applicable) 50/50 with the company. You must own or control your Master to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Thursday, November 10th, 2022. TAXI # S221110JB

I like the arrangement, John. Soothing, chill, very lullaby-ish. Nice work!
One thing I noticed is that the volume ducks at about 1:48 and it sounds a bit unusual to my ears. Was that intentional? I can't hear a reason for that.

Good call. You're right on, and I fixed it as well as added a new lead instrument that I like even better. See what you think. Thanks much for your valued comments.
