Hi folks, I have to say there's a distinct lack of drinks in this 'Bar'!
Never mind...point of posting, well last autumn I wrote a Christmas love song which has gone down very well with most listeners who've commented, although the song never appeared on this forum.
Its style is quite unlike my current stuff, not 'quirky' at all, but at the same time maybe has more commercial appeal. I would like to try and place it with a publisher with a view to a younger and hopefully popular artist recording it as a Christmas single. Maybe this is the time to pitch. I have tried emailing a few publishers, but never even get a reply.
Has anyone on here had any success placing a song, or at least know in theory how it is done? I've read about Taxi and the likes, but not convinced of their success rate from reviews. I am sure it helps if you have industry connections, but sadly I draw a blank there.
Most of the time I am just happy creating songs every few weeks as a hobby, with no particular strategy for getting a wider audience. But I think it would be good to get something enjoying a bit of success for once, and this is the song I want to try it with.
The song is here, by the way - and is called 'Two Hearts In The Snow'.
