It's been a while since I've been here, so it's nice to be able to say that I got a forward for my song " I'm Going Back Home ", sung beautifully by Drew Middleton. Got my fingers crossed for this one. If anyone is interested in hearing it. It is on my Taxi page. And now it's back to " write, submit, repeat "

Emotional POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a $3,500, NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor Montage Placement in a Pilot for a new TV series on a Major Broadcast Network. They’re searching for Down-to-Mid-Tempo Songs that would fall in the broad stylistic wheelhouse as the references below: “Photograph” by Ed Sheeran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSDgHBxUbVQ “I Will Remember You” by Sarah Mclachlan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSz16ngdsG0 “7 Years” by Lukas Graham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHCob76kigA Please submit well-crafted songs that have an intimate, introspective vibe that will emotionally connect with an audience. Instrumentation can be as simple as an acoustic guitar/vocal or piano/vocal, or you can go bigger and land somewhere in the middle lane. Your vocal performance should be heartfelt, honest, and hopeful. Lyric themes should focus on topics like remembering, memories, and/or keeping people close to your heart, etc.. Please steer clear of submitting anything that’s too sad or dramatic. Keep it touching and positive, or maybe a tad bittersweet, but not sad. Avoiding references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity will probably work best for this pitch. Please do NOT copy the referenced acts/artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fee for this placement is (up-to) $3,500, 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. All Submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Songs online or per CD no later than 11:59PM (PDT), Wednesday, July 19th, 2017. TAXI #Y170719PS

Congratulations Tom! Great song - could totally see this in a montage. Best of luck with it

Beautiful song Tom. And that vocal by Drew is really outstanding. Great guitar playing, and super interesting chords in the intro that immediately catch your attention. Great job, good luck with the forward.

Thank you Trisha for your kind words. I am very happy with the way Drew sang and produced the song. It's nice when you find someone who can do a song just the way you hear it in your mind and more.

All the best to you too
