Hey EthanI can't listento your track cus the internet connection where I am today is very very slow!However.. I can tell you (from experiene) that songs without the classic verse, chorus, bridge format aren't forwaded very often.. I've had loads of returns for that reason only. I'm beggining to realise that writing for Taxi is about sticking to the book.. they aren't looking for anything clever, or different.. just good songs that follow the tried and tested formula. You gotta think that, that's what the majority of people want... you got to keep peoples attention, not an easy task today and the use of a bridge is a tried and tested way to do this. I'm actually in the proccess now of writing new stuff specificaly for Taxi, now I feel like I'm getting a good idea of what they want.Sorry to reply without listening to your song, but your post called my attention and with this internet connection, it'll probably take 5 minutes just to post this text!!!Good look fellaD

Yeh sorry B Flat.. we've kinda hijacked your thread! hahaBut yeh Ethan.. On more than one occasion I've submitted the same 3 songs for 2 different listings... 1 screener returning them saying No, needs a bridge, or not commercial enough or whatever and the 2nd forwarding them saying they are great etc.It really is just luck/rather personal opinion.P.S., I managed to check your track and really liked it.. love the vocal layers.
