Pat..you're right on. It depends what (or who) the song is being created for as to how it's arranged. Writing for TV/Movies etc. they usually only use about 30-60 seconds of the song anyway, and they specifically ask for music that would not conflict with a voiceover. We have another listing on here, "Leaving Tonight" that's done in this same fashion and it WAS chosen by TAXI.com over a lot of competition to be promoted to LA TV/Movie music directors. Only 6% of submissions get forwarded by TAXI to TV/Movie execs.

If I were to put this song on an album I would add other instruments and probably write a bridge. Might even modulate to a new key for the last verse and chorus. But for this particular listing they wouldn't even hear it...or care. In some cases monotony is beautiful...especially when it PAYS. Haha.

Thanks for listening,
Bob



excellent points, Bob... without hearing that from a pro like you, I would never have observed what you just said on my own. Thanks for all the tips you freely share with the rest of us who are trying to learn the tricks of the masters.
