[rrheinsmith]

Much like others I am attaching my first review. My songs are loaded under my profile and they are public. I am learning this market and I am truely way off the mark and would like to understand so I can Improve!

What I like most about this song
Very sweet and timely subject matter! Great story and message!
I think you could improve this song by
Cool tune Richard! I love your story and the timely message it sends, however I wish it were a little more dynamic. I think with a little work and a better presentation this song could be huge!
I returned or forwarded this song because
I am returning this song because it needs some work and will not fit this listing as is. Good luck to you Richard!

What are they looking for when they ask for more dynamic? Presentation?


Additional things I noticed...
(The comments below are just helpful suggestions and NOT necessarily the reason this music was forwarded or returned. Look at the top, right-hand dialog box that says, “I returned or forward this submission because” to see the reason for the Forward or Return.)
Style
• Style/Genre is off target with the listing request. " What I heard in the attached songs were similar to what I submitted" I do not know what was wrong?

• Mood is off target with the listing request "I felt this was a mid tempo piece" Am I off?

• Not contemporary as requested. Somehow I missed contemporary in the write up but, what does that really mean when dealing with Music Supervisors and why is this off?
Composition
• Melody could be stronger. What is meant by this? A greater range of notes, a different key, I mean I see the melody as a melody, what strengthens one?

• Chorus doesn't stand out enough. More flair, More voices, more harmony??

• Lyrics need improvement. This really is confusing, in the above write up it says ery sweet and timely subject matter! Great story and message! What needs improvement? I do not understand.

• Lyrics off target for this request - I go back to what I listened to and what I submitted sound very much in the same catagory.

• Hook(s) requested in Listing not present - I did not see specific requirements for Hooks in the request. What is it I missed?

• Instrumentation not engaging enough - I understand this I think. a subtle change in the instruments at every verse and within the Chorus.

Please provide direct links rather than expecting people to search out your profile and guess at which songs they should be listening to .

I would also suggest starting your own thread for this rather than tacking in at the bottom of this one as you'll probably get more folks interest.

CosmicDolphin,

I appreciate the feedback. https://www.taxi.com/members/6tEUZBqqQW ... ryan-smith
I have started a new thread asking for assistance in the General Hangout forum. You are very much in the know from my perspective so, if you could check things out that would be great. If time is at a premium I understand.

Respectfully,

Rick
