Screener 253, this song didn't get a foward

[jchitty]

I am finally going to post a link to one of my songs.... it didn't get a foward. The title of it is "Stumble On Through This World." The main reason it didn't get a foward was, 'it was not close enough to the intended market, and it was felt that a bridge was needed break up some of the harmonic structure. ' The song was also considered too 'down' for a country listing which prefers more upbeat stuff. I submitted this a Dixie Chicks listing, at least, that was one of the artists they specified. I knew it wouldn't get a foward, but I wanted a critique anyway. I really don't know which market I'd pitch this song too, might have a hard time finding a home. I also got some good marks on the song, eights on the music and lyrics...with comments like, "good music in chorus" and 'the hook is well defined." Anyway, this is not my usual fare...my songs sound much more country because I have them demoed in Nashville, but I thought I'd post this one anyway. I am singing on the demo. My voice isn't stellar, but it's adequate I guess. I co-wrote this with my guitar teacher, and he engineered the demo and is playing the guitar throughout the demo. One day, I'll post some of Beaird's Demoes, so you can see the contrast between some of my more Nashville sounding songs (Larry does a really good job) and this one here. I like my song, think it's pretty good, but I am always open to even the most brutal critiques, hehe. BTW, I agree with all of screener 253's comments, even though I'm fond of my song. It could use some work. I've written better stuff too. I'm learnin' Any critiques would be welcomed if y'all have the time. Another TAXI member has already done so via e-mail. Hope this link works. www.geocities.com/songwriter_205/Chitty-Stumble_on.mp3

JD, if you only knew the extent of my technical expertise concerning mp3s and the internet....yes, I'm THAT challenged. My husband had to make this mp3 for me...what seems so easy for others is a learning process for me. But I'll consider your suggestion...just will have to do it later.Anyways..

I don't know why they come down so hard on people in the radio biz like that.... for cryin out freakin loud, the guy's job is to talk all day and make it entertaining..... If he screws up once in a while.... what's the big deal, who hasn't..?? Like haven't we all at one time or another said something we wish we didn't.....? I can recall at least a couple dozen posts I've made here that I later thought about and said "damn, I hope I don't piss off Michael and the screeners..... " I probably shouldn't even post now.... shut my big mouth .....(fingers...)..... but I can't help myself.... I'm not a perfectly pure virgin athlete who's never been drunk...... and I don't have tats either..... They really taking Imus to task... you know.... get over it.... And in a totally different line of thought.... Wow chits... more eights on your critiques..... !!!!! I really wish those links were working...... I wanna hear your songs ....... damnit........

Here ya go, AJ. I found a way to get the link to work. I will list it again of course, but instead of clicking it on, if you type the link (addy) in yourself exactly as it appears, (dots, dashes, etc.) then it will work. www.geocities.com/songwriter_205/Chitty-Stumble_on.mp3
