A song specially written for you?
Let me introduce myself, I am a singer/songwriter and have written over 65 songs over the past 3 decades. You can read more information and listen to some rough recordings of my material on this website.
Most of my songs are basically short stories relating to events that I or people near me have experienced. However I have also have written songs about stories that I´ve picked up from strangers, or via newspaper articles or even fictitious stories.
My motivation for this project is that I would like to expand my song catalog and I feel that there may be some really good material out there to use.
If you have an interesting and gripping story that you would like to submit as input for a song. Then please accept my invitation and the terms described below. I can’t promise that every story will result in a song, but as long as I can relate to it then I will do my best and you will receive a copy of the lyrics and a MP3 rough recording, if I get that far!
What does it cost? Absolutely nothing, it´s free of charge.
What will you receive?
A document with the lyrics
A simple MP3 rough and ready recording of the song
My consent to distribute it to your friends under specific terms and conditions stipulating what you can and can not do with the material.
What will you not receive?
The copyright for music and lyrics
Royalties
Any other form of payment
Please send your story together with some information about yourself to the email address shown on this website. christopher.john.james@gmail.com
I will not reveal the full identity of people in my songs unless they are public figures. Further I will not process any material that is intended to insult or otherwise cause damage or distress to others.
Best regards, Chris
