Now the aspiring or established artiste can go straight to the source. Everything-But-The-Song and Mind4Joy Publishers is a comprehensive site for new and original songs. Everything-But-The-Song is ideal for performers and recording artistes looking for original material to improve their profile as live performances or their recording prospects. Everything-But-The-Song is also ideal for those artists and songwriters who are compiling a CD of wholly or partially original material. Everything-But-The-Song should also be the first port of call for choirs, musical theatre, buskers and even karaoke.
In former days a singer or performer looking for an original song would have to go to somewhere like Tin Pan Alley or the Brill Building in New York. It would be an expensive and time consuming business. Everything-But-The-Song and Mind4Joy Publishers cuts out the middle-man.
All songs are arranged for guitar and piano. There is the option to change keys and pitch to suit the individual style of singers and performer. The songs are ideal for further arrangements and re-arrangements for pop, soul, rock, jazz, country and western, dance, instrumentals and musicals. The songwriter is influenced by classic composers such as Lennon & McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone and Burt Bacharach.
The customer will receive an audio mp3 demo of the song, lyrics and chord sheets for £85. If songs need further arrangements to suit individual styles this can be done through email and telephone negotiations. Individual commissions and exclusive use can be arranged to the same way.
All singers, groups, performers must give notice how the songs will be used by email. Performers must say the prospective size of the audience. If the songs are to be recorded then the user must say when and where recorded material is likely to distributed. In any format - records, cds, downloads, advertisements, film etc - the songwriter, Michael J. Ellis, must be credited as the sole creator and Everything-But-The-Song and Mind 4Joy Publishers must be cited. Exclusive rights can be bought by prior negotiation. All songs are registered with the Performing Rights Society. Using the material without payment and notice will be subject to legal action.
Are you a singer, performer, recording artistes trying to stand out from the crowd? Would some great, original songs help you to do just that? Then you’ve come to the right place and it’s simple as 1-2-3.
