Write/Record Original, Romantic Song (Lyrics provided)

This job needs to be completed within 2 days. If you need a day or two more, I can work with you, but close to two days is preferable.

Please read entire description. I know it is a tad detailed, but it's all necessary. Thanks. Suggested Lyrics at the bottom. I am 100% open to different, custom lyrics.

WHO: An amazingly talented musician (both melody composer and great voice, plays an instrument)

WHAT: Write a 3 minute ORIGINAL AND HIGH QUALITY song that is reflectively romantic and personalized. I'm giving it to my wife. Must be native English speaker or sound like one. Record it in a high quality format for me to access easily and make it from the lyrics provided. It has to evoke emotion. It must be emotional, if the lyrics need to change - so be it.

OR you may improve upon lyrics if you'd rather, but don't have to.

OR you could write your own. I would give you a couple "must haves" for lyrics and a little about our story.

As long as it is personalized, I'm good. I'm open but looking mostly for one of the following genres: Indie Pop, Country Acoustic/Folk, Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic Pop, Pop Rock. Multi-instrument sound, or solo guitar or solo piano. You know the sound of a song I really like: Ben Folds' "The Luckiest." If you can hit that tone - that is the sweet spot - reflective, almost sad but actually happy.

*Note on rights: You RETAIN full copyright and can use the song how you wish with commercial use rights, IF you write your own lyrics, repurpose what I provide. OR like I say above, I can write you my story in a paragraph and you can use it to write the lyrics.

However, if you use my lyrics close to verbatim and don't rewrite them, then you do not have commercial use of the song, only personal use or you can use it in your portfolio.

Either way, I get full personal use rights, claim no copyright or commercial use rights. I have the right to do anything with the song I wish as long as I: 1. do not make money off of it and 2. attribute it to you if it is played in a group or online.

WHEN: 2 days. I have reasons for this, it goes with another customized gift. If you need more please let me know and I will see what I can do.

WHY: I want to give a beautiful song to my wife for Christmas. I had a song turn out terrible and I'm trying again. I want something that evokes emotion.

HOW: Please submit samples of your songs, high preference for romantic songs that you have written and performed. If it doesn't evoke emotion - I won't go for it.

*IF you read to this point: write "Lyrics Below" in your cover letter.

Song title: Forever and Ever
Lyrics: I still remember our first date like yesterday
You told me to kiss you, so I pulled over and did right away
You told your mother you'd found the one, had no doubt I found the same
That burning love we once had, it didn't fade, it only changed
Though it gets hard sometimes, I won't run
Losing our step but we'll always get up
I'll be standing by your side for all my days
Loving you more than the moment before
Putting our faith and trust in the Lord
We've come this far 'cause He's led us all the way
That fateful night in Venice on our honeymoon
We danced, I clasped your hand, I didn't want this to end ever soon
Your black hair flowing in the night air, lovely how you moved
Our love would last forever, this is when I knew
Though it gets hard sometimes, I won't run
Losing our step but we'll always get up
I'll be standing by your side for all my days
Loving you more than the moment before
Putting our faith and trust in the Lord
We've come this far 'cause He's led us all the way
And even when we're called to heaven, we will share a dance again
Forever and ever, Amen
How we've changed since having our children, the love that we pour out
And how we've grown since the day that we first met, learning all about love
everyday
Cara, my sweet Cara, loving you for life
And the future that's ahead is looking bright
Though it gets hard sometimes, I won't run
Losing our step but we'll always get up
I'll be standing by your side for all my days
Loving you more than the moment before
Putting our faith and trust in the Lord
We've come this far 'cause He's led us all the way
And even when we're called to heaven, we will share a dance again
Forever and ever, Amen

Thanks.
