Some of you likely have seen this video already when I posted it over a year ago on youtube. It is a video of me singing a song I wrote to my wife on our wedding day. I don't even sing in the shower so I do sound like a dying cow (trust me). It's the song and lyrics themselves I care about, not my singing since I know I can't sing to save my life.
Though I have never pursued anything with my music ever, months ago an incredible opportunity came my way because of a producer seeing it on youtube. Anyway, I can't really get into the specific details (not sure I'm allowed to), but basically at this very moment I have a two time grammy award winning 3 time nominated composer working on my song and recomposing it (I'm a simple keyboard player and my music is really simplistic. He will be making the song much more complex). After that, there is a good possibility that I will have a celebrity singing my song. I'm talking about Josh Grobin, John Meyer, etc. Not someone like them, literally possibly one of them. It's really exciting to me especially because of my wife's passing away last year and how much this song meant to her.
Problem is, this is all still beyond surreal to me. I like what I write musically, but it's always been just a personal "in the dark corner of the room" type thing for me. I never play in front of people, barely share my songs to anybody, and have never pursued anything. I enjoy my songs, but really have never felt them to really be all that good. So what I really appreciate if some of you would do for me, is to listen to the song and let me know your REAL opinion as to if if was recomposed and recorded by a real singer, could you see it really being a good song? I just have such low confidence in it, yet the reality is I have a grammy award winning composer working on it right now and the good possibility of a John Meyer or Josh Grobin singing it. Your opinions will mean a lot to me as to what you really think of the song or its potential.
Also, I very well may have my CHOICE of what celebrity I want to sing it. After you've listened to it, tell me your opinion on who you think the BEST singer would be to sing my song. It could be anybody!
Thanks everybody!
