Screener #332 on Y111225SS...

[realdoyle]

If screener #332 has a minute I would really appreciate his/her thoughts on the song I submitted for listing Y111225SS. I understand that it was a yes/no listing but this is a song that I wrote specifically for this listing and thought it was going to be a sure thing. Funny thing is that most of the time after a song has been returned I can go back see that it wasn't "quite" on target. However on this one I'm still puzzled.

I am confident that the song I submitted will get some forwards for other listings but I'm trying to improve my craft of writing songs specifically for Taxi listings. Thank you for your help.

The comments read: "Slightly off target from the particular feel and lyrics the ad agency is looking for regarding this spot."
I actually thought the "I found a simple love" lyrics where going to be perfect for any ad agency looking to sell a product. As in "I found an easy to use product I love." As for the feel, I took the tempo from the example Kindle youtube song provided and gave it a similar four-on-the-floor bass drum beat that it has in the second half of the Kindle commercial. All the instruments/sound used in this song were compared against sounds used in the youtube examples provided.

Screener #332, if you have a minute I'd really appreciate you helping me learn from what I did wrong on this listing.
