So I'm feeling this FORWARD!!!!

Post by swdaze » Thu Aug 05, 2021 7:44 am

This was unexpected and greatly appreciated. Second ever but first for a tune done on home studio. 80's POP?ROCK, my wheelhouse!! :D Mike my singer was so excited he's suffered through all the returns with me.

A heartfelt thank you 347.

Any advice on what to expect/how to prepare (just in case) would be cool.

Thanks to all who have tried to help.

Here's the song, originally written 1989 but the final rewrite happened earlier this year. Enjoy!!

NOTHING I DO by SWD at TAXI

https://www.taxi.com/members/kFrx_Q6OQc ... thing-i-do







'80's-Style POP/ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for several (up to) $10,000, Direct-to-Music-Supervisor placements in a range of TV Shows on Major Networks.

This Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Songs in All Tempos in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references we got directly from them:

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper

"Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash

"Sweet Dream (Are Made Of This)" by Eurythmics

"We Got The Beat" by The Go-Go's

You can submit recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the references; or, if you’ve got any vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), the Music Supervisor would love to hear those as well!

Quoting the Music Supervisor: "I'm looking for throwback songs that can distinctively establish the '80's era. I need lyrics, concepts, and hooks that can drive the intent or tie in universally with various scenes and a range of emotions and settings from fun parties to emotionally sad moments."

Please submit great Pop/Rock Songs that could transport viewers to the 1980s! Your submissions should have great melodies, super-catchy choruses, and well-crafted lyrics, and of course, that '80's vibe this Music Supervisor is asking for! Confident, well-performed vocals with a healthy dose of '80's charm are a must for this pitch. Your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be era-appropriate and high-quality, as well.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity will make your Songs easier to place. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The estimated license fee for each placement is up to $10,000, depending on the ultimate use. These are Direct-to-Music Supervisor placements, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Master and Composition rights, plus you’ll also get 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, July 7th, 2021. TAXI # S210707PR

Thanks Casey!!

I did a classic comedic double take then shed a tear after reading the critique.

Unfortunately I had to send my laptop to Apple to replace a "swollen" battery. I'm itching to get back to work!!

Thanks again!!
