  Subject: Nashville Song Service Lyric Acceptance
  
  Gina,
  
  The review staff has looked over your material and forwarded your
  submission to Jim Cristaldi, and Jim has asked me to contact you
  concerning it. This is a fine lyric one of the first we've seen that
  talks about capturing Saddam. We would love to work with you on this
  fine patriotic material.
  Please look over the following material and get back with us as soon as
  you have a chance. Thanks!
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Steve Bennett

  ****************************************************************
  ! Hello. Yes, you guessed it; you have received a form email.
  Unfortunately there is too much information that we need to tell you for
  me to individually type it out. If you are interested in working with us
  we will give you all the individual attention needed to move you along
  the path of a successful music career. Be assured of two things  1) we
  have personally reviewed your submission 2) we only send this acceptance
  letter to a very small number of writers  those who we feel possess the
  talent to make it in the music industry. Enough said  lets get on with
  this form email.
  ****************************************************************
  
  Congratulations! We had a chance to review your lyrics and thought they
  were very strong and marketable in Nashville. We get a lot of
  submissions and only a select few are chosen. Your writing has been
  selected by our team of reviewers and we are interested in working with you.
  
  I'm sure you had! a chance to check out our website and know a bit about
  what we do. In short we co-write music and melody, do professional
  recordings of the songs, and promote them to established country artists
  in Nashville. We have had several cuts to date and placed numerous songs
  on the radio all over the world. We have helped our writers, just like
  you, take the next step into a world of professionalism that would be
  virtually impossible to attain on your own.
  
  One of the most commonly asked questions we hear is Ive written lyrics
  but I dont know where to go from here. I was in your position once.I
  felt I had great material but had no idea how to market my work to the
  music industry and make money. Furthermore, everyone I talked to and
  everything I read had conflicting opinions on how to achieve success. I
  was confused, frustrated, and worried that I was going to get ripped off
  if I decided to do anything with my songs.
  
  It is our goal at Nash! ville Song Service to work with and develop
  unsigned writers and take the confusion out of songwriting and marketing
  your songs. We are a reputable company with many happy clients - you can
  read their testimonials on our website. Unlike most songwriting
  companies, we have several points of contact and talk to you in person,
  answering any and all questions about songwriting, the music business,
  and offer advice on how to improve your craft. Once we decide on a
  recording package, we work with you to develop your song and encourage
  your input on the production of the demo. If you have ever worked with
  any other songwriting company you know that this is not the case and you
  have very little input into how your song will turn out.
  
  Let me take a minute and discuss the way the music business works and
  how songs are cut by major recording artists. First, a melody and music
  must be written to your lyrics. Second, a professional demo must be
  pr! oduced in order to pitch the song. Third, a song must have
  professional representation in order to get through industry doors.
  Fourth, once a song is cut by an artist, royalties are generated by the
  sale of the CD and radio airplay. Thats how songwriters make money. And
  this can be big money if the song is a hit!
  
  Let me dispell a few myths. You will never be paid up front for your
  song. You cannot pitch a song as lyrics only. You cannot pitch a song
  with a home recording. We would be glad to listen to your home demo to
  help us assess the value of the melody. But we prefer not to make it a
  practice to pitch a variety of such presentations to our contacts, as
  over time we have developed a reputation for the highest quality demos
  in Nashville. They are consistently the best, and when someone listens
  to a demo in Nashville with Nashville Song Service listed as a producer
  and/or co-writer, they know they're about to hear the best available
  ma! terial created with the highest production standards.
  
  Nashville has the best musicians and singers in the world. Your demo
  needs to sound like the songs on the radio and the best way to achieve
  this is by using Nashville Song Service studio musicians and singers.
  
  Believe me when I tell you that the music industry is a highly
  competitive business and the only way to successfully market your work
  is to have professionally crafted songs and awesome productions!
  Nashville Song Service is connected to all aspects of the music business
  from creating great melodies to producing professional demos that get cut.
  
  I hope this gives you a better understanding of how the music industry
  works. Now lets get to the point of this email.
  
  We are interested in working with you and your song. There is a contract
  we sign with our writers and a small fee for recording the demo. All the
  info you need to start the process is at the following URL:
  http://www.nashvillesongservice.com/contracts.htm
  
  If your lyrics do not have a melody and/or music you will need to sign
  the songwriting contract. If you have a melody and/or music to your
  lyrics you will need to sign the publishing contract and send us a tape
  of the melody (boom box recordings are fine). We publish under both
  contracts and are a registered publishing company which you can find at
  BMI.com - search for Nashville Song Service Publishing.
  
  You should have all the info you need to get started with us but if you
  have any questions you can reply to this email or call us at
  (615)498-1175 weekday afternoons USA Central time. Once we receive thesigned contract and payment we will contact you to discuss the
  production of your song. Good job on your writing and I hope to be
  working with you in the near future.

"Can't Have Love Without Emotion"

1st Verse:
Against my better judgement
He was standing at my door
With flowers and a hurried glance...
He took me out to dinner
But I wanted something more
I knew it was'nt going to last...

Bridge:
He did'nt even open up my car door
Or ask me much of anything...
He ate my lobster...cold as ice
Was so bored...
I Would of settled for Burger King
Cause darlin' I know one thing...

Chorus:
Can't have love without emotion
No...No...No...
A romance with no steam...
Can't have love without emotion
It won't go
So maybe you should leave!!!
I want someone with taste...
Someone who waits...
Someone that want's to please...
Can't have love without emotion
Oh...No...No...
So babe you can't have me!!!

Instrumental Break:

Repeat Bridge:

Repeat Chorus:

Tag Ending:
Someone with taste...
Someone who waits...
Someone that want's to please...
Can't have love without emotion.

Fade out.
