Kevin:
And that is the main point. You had better be spot on to the listing.
Also note that what you submit to be a potential artist had best be a cut above, what you need
to be a song provider or (if you've ever heard some of the tracks for HOUSE on Youtube) a cut above spots for TV and Film. As for advertising . . . . you'd best have the best of the best in equipment.
Still I can hum and haw about all of these things, but if I'm not being proactive . . . nothing changes, and I sit wishfully thinking, but learning zilch.
You don't have any fun and you just remain a legend in your mind as the song goes.
Kevin I'm not leveling this minor tirade at you. You give some good advice and perspective on songwriting.
But I see a lot of nay-saying on this forum. Yes - there are always negative reasons for not doing something - and I've been on that side.
If anyone out there has ever had ONE dream of placing a song, then they should be being proactive. Since the Industry rarely takes unsolicited songs from unknowns, then you might as well have an agent like Taxi to open whatever doors they can - doors that your average songwriter can't locate, nor has the time to track down.
See ya later - Ian
