If you are feeling down on your feet these days, allow tears to fall while listening to these songs from pop, rock, country, and R&B that are all about crying. We asked you, our readers, to tell us which songs made you feel bittersweet. Whatever that feeling is, there is a song out there for you - and we have got your covers.
A killer song is good, real country -- not to mention, an extremely catchy tune. Even folks who say they hate country music like this cheerful song about not taking the easy path out of LDR. As its name suggests, A Killer Song is all about how, when in love, you will remember every single detail, and how nothing, or nobody, comes close to someone you love.
It is one of those country songs about a long-distance relationship you could listen to again and not grow tired of. Aside from the juxtaposition between this numbers relatively cheerful music and bleak-as-hell lyrics, I like this songs structure, with the bouncy guitar intro and verses building into a chorus that goes from G major to a very, very E minor, and simply never quite settles.
When you listen to some songs, it makes you think of the other aspects of this friendship, this person, you truly love. Certain songs always remind you of that person, even as it becomes associated with other people in your life.
It is fairly common in music circles to come across people who spent literally decades trying to determine the identity of a little-known song from an old mixtape. The little-known song from an old mixtape. If that approach works, I would be interested to hear your stories of where and when you initially came across a song, where your research took you over time, and how you came up with a solution. Of course, my method is reliant on a few factors - not to mention some luck and gut feel - and it will not work every single time, but hopefully, it is a helpful tool that can get you closer to solving your mystery songs.
If a station knows who you are and knows your music, and you are trying to give them that music very upfront, yes. There are other great community stations that are doing incredible work, and you want to make sure that they are getting your music. More and more of the non-commercial stations are on-line and are great places to send your music to .
Commercial stations may be unwilling to listen to your music, much less have your music played on their stations. Honestly, if a commercial station did this, it really would not be that big a deal anymore, unless somehow you made it onto their small list of added music, meaning that you are going to get played about 50 times per week. But this is also the reason it is so difficult to listen to commercial stations...they are playing the same songs 50 times per week. Whether on dial or on line, if there is a real human being on the other end, chances are that they would like to listen to you, and might be willing to play you, so find out who that is, where it is, and get the music for them, anyway. Usually, you deal with sending promos to radio stations, and at the same time, tracking down where your releases are playing, calling up the Music Director every week and finding out where they are on the rotation, and how many plays it is getting each week.
This works especially well if you are calling shows that are focused on the type of music you are making. Radio is a modern medium, the song is likely to be released either 87 or 88; songs generally do not receive airplay years after they are released, unless they achieve a certain level of status. This method has helped me with half a dozen other mysterious songs that people have been puzzling over for over 25 years, and collectively, its a little bit of Artpop. Cry For You, also known as Cry For You on Hard2Beat, is a song by Swedish singer Petra Marklund, performed in the month of September.
