Self Reflection Lyrics Forward

Post by AmandaJane » Fri Apr 20, 2018 12:33 pm

Never say never !
A song I co-wrote with the amazing Mr Gee (Steven Guiles :D ) in 2016 just got it's very first forward via Taxi :D :D :D :D Go Future Kings Of Denmark !

It has been licensed elsewhere, for overhead radio, but not for TV or film, and not via Taxi :) So we are happy bunnies 'cus one of our babies is growing up :) Thank you #19 :P

The listing was: U180315SR
SONGS with LYRICS ABOUT SELF-REFLECTION and Male Vocals are U-R-G-E-N-T-L-Y needed for several (up-to) $2,000, NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placements in a popular HBO TV Series. They’re on a quest to build a stash of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs (Contemporary or Vintage Recordings can both work) that have the general lyric concepts of these references we got from the Music Supervisor! “Funny Man” by Ray Stevens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaTDfgqUAmE “Any Dream Will Do” by Andrew Lloyd Webber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EwyCk-q178 “Beautiful Loser” by Bob Seger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xWVRE9FskQ NOTE: Although the references are stylistically dated, this Supervisor is not just looking for old, vintage recordings. Contemporary recordings and songs with lyrics about self-reflection can also work well for this pitch. Please send well-crafted songs that could poignantly enhance scenes with the show’s main character having moments of self-reflection as he tries to get his life and career on track. He’s often seen having quiet moments of alone time on the road. There might be scenes when a song like the Ray Stevens reference could add some comic juxtaposition. There are other times when a song that’s more like Beautiful Loser could tug at viewers’ heartstrings as they empathize. Got it? They’re not looking for songs that are just like the references. They’re looking for songs that have different perspectives on the problem this dude encounters nearly every day of his life: Wrestling between sticking with it, or seeing himself as a big, fat loser and throwing in the towel. Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places could make your song more appealing, but they’re not absolutely necessary. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for the lyric topic and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fees for placements in this TV Series are (up-to) $2,000, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the Master License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recording to pitch for this opportunity.

And the song is 'Beyond The Horizon' ft Future Kings Of Denmark
