What I like most about this song
This has fun, vintage drum/synth machine elements.
I think you could improve this song by:
In general, this cue does most things well. I would have liked to hear a slightly tighter (shorter) arrangement, but as is, it does work.
I returned or forwarded this song because:
This is an interesting cue with strong retro Synthwave vibes - nice job!
Listing: Lots of RETRO SYNTHWAVE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a highly successful Music Licensing company with an impressive track record of sync placements in hit TV shows!
This Company is on the hunt for Instrumentals that could fit on a playlist with the following examples:
"Droid Rage" by OGRE Sound
"Stranger Things" by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein
"Wave" by iamMANOLIS
Please submit original Synthwave Instrumentals dripping with retro vibes! Your submissions should have engaging synth-driven melodies and motifs, solid rhythms, throwback style production, great musicianship, and arrangements with a forward-developing arc. Whether your piece's approach leans more dreamy and nostalgic or dark and driving, the groove, tone, and arrangement should feel cohesive and emotionally evocative. Instrumentation in the general stylistic wheelhouse of references will suit your submissions best (think lush analog synthesizers, pulsing drum machines, bass synths, gated reverb-heavy snares, shimmering arpeggiators or sequencers, etc.). If you're using virtual instruments or samples, they must be high-quality, realistic, and genre-appropriate.
All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are strongly recommended. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of ANY other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This company can't accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. You'll keep 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization for this company to include your music in their catalog. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, August 18th, 2025. TAXI # S250818YY

First - congrats on the forward - good luck with a good placement to follow with the rewards.
Funny coincidence, listening to this - I recently dug up Madonna's "Live To Tell" song -
for the sake of the great synth and pristine tones of the percussion tracks - a favorite of mine.
Good work; Cheers,
Peter
