*Please forward this email to any artists or bands you may know who may fit this description*
 
**Note:  Due to the volume of emails and songs we receive, If you do not read and follow these instructions, we will not pitch your song.**
 
**Only submit music for this project if it meets *exactly* the style we are looking for.  (If you think "I'm not sure if this song will work, but I'll send it anyway" it probably won't and will just be a waste of time for us to listen to.  Please note that there are thousands of artists on this email list and we receive so many mp3s for each music request.  It's incredibly time consuming to listen to songs that clearly don't fit the criteria, so please be respectful and only send appropriate songs. 
 
Also, DO NOT ask us to "check out track 3" on your CD (or send us a web site link for the song).  We have hundreds (thousands) of CDs here and there is never time to do that.  Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.)  Future music needs will be sent soon.**
*******
Directions - MUST BE READ & FOLLOWED OR WE WILL DELETE YOUR SONG & will take you off our list:
1)  Only submit a song if you own and can clear your master & publishing within 24 hours.  Do not submit unless you are available within 24 hours for the next 1-3 weeks to clear this song. 
 
2)  With the mp3, you MUST answers these questions (cut questions and paste with reply):
     a) Name of artist:
     b) Name of song:
     c) What is your relationship to the artist?
     d) Who wrote the song?
     e) Do you personally own 100% of the master?
     f) Do you personally own 100% of the publishing? 
     g) Can you clear both within 24 hours?  (If not, who can)?
     h)  Is this song registered with ASCAP or BMI?
     i) Do you authorize True Talent to sign off on a license on your behalf?
     j) Are there any co-writers?
     k) Is this a cover song?
     l) Are any samples used?
     m) Your full name, cell # (or where you are reachable 24/7):
     n)  Do you agree to give EXCLUSIVE publishing on this song (if placed)?     (We'd probably need to rename and re-register the song with ASCAP or BMI to do this) - or, alternatively, we'd take a one year exclusive licensing agreement in lieu of this.
     o) Do you want my feedback or constructive criticism on this song?
 
Note:  I take 50% of any placement fee (master & sync) as well as exclusive publishing (ONLY if the song is placed) so you are agreeing to this if you submit music.  READ THIS!!!!!!!!  With the information above and your mp3, YOU MUST include a note in the email stating "I certify that the above information is 100% accurate and agree to pay True Talent Management 50% of the master/sync fee if this song is licensed as well as exclusive publishing for any song that gets licensed".  Without this WE WILL NOT LISTEN TO OR PITCH YOUR SONG.  Alternatively, we'd also consider taking 75% of the master/sync fee, you keep ALL publishing, the choice is up to you.
  
If you do not own both your master & publishing, please state who does i.e. name of indie record company and/or publisher. 
 
Note:  If the song is a co-write, you MUST list any other songwriters and note if they must sign off on the publishing license or if you control 100% of the publishing.
 
3)  Only send your closest pitches - i.e. "less is more"  - if you don't have anything like this, do not submit it. 
 
4)  Send ONLY ONE MP3 per music request - if you send multiple songs, we will not listen to them, and you will be deleted from the list.
 
5)  Do not send a song in an iTunes format.  Do not send an "mp4" or zipped audio file.  Do not send me anything using "yousendit".
 
6)  Only send a CD if we request the song on CD. 
 
7)  Please do not call with questions about this request - a quick email is best.
 
8)  Keep the original subject line (from above) when you submit your mp3.
 
9)  Your mp3 should be named as the song title only
i.e. "happydays.mp3". 
 
Do not include your band name when you name the mp3 file.
*****

1)  Need a replacement song for U2’s “Beautiful Day”.  Musically the song you submit should start off slow and build into a big chorus.  The mp3 you submit must have lyrics about coming home - this is crucial (the scene is troops coming home from the war).

You are receiving this email because you have either sent us music in the past or are an artist or band that we've heard great things about (or are otherwise involved in the music business as a manager, attorney, A&R, etc).
To unsubscribe from future event notifications, please email: unsubscribe@truetalentmgmt.com and specify if you'd like to unsubscribe from True Talent's database entirely or just from our music requests.  We certainly can't imagine why you'd leave though since we've placed now over 45 songs in film/tv, including "Sex and the City" and "The OC".  Major labels, artists and managers have asked to be added to the list.

I was thinking about sending this one, but if the theme is 'Bring the troops home yesterday," this one probably won't work.  It's about determination to remain in the throes of battle.

Send the song, what do you have to loose?

It looks like I missed the deadline.  Oh, well, you snooze, you lose, or, I should say, I snooze, I lose.
