Finished Works / Please help! Credits for Curtis Downey's Music
« Last post by MorseKode on February 21, 2022, 04:11:50 PM »
Hello,

You may or may not have heard of me (probably not), but I collaborated quite a lot, about 10-15 years ago. I wrote an album called Implicit Lyrics and Curtis sung on every track. I re-released it last year.

Curtis has some more music and his family has asked me to get it out there on Spotify, iTunes and so on, but I'm aware that he co-wrote many of the songs and I'd like to get permission from the authors before I upload all the tracks.

Here is his playlist on SoundClick - did you play on any of these songs, and/or write or co-write them?

Also if you have high-quality WAVs that I can use (instead of my mp3s) of the finished songs it would be most appreciated if you could send them over!

Thanks very much,
David

Finished Works / If You Think That's Better (2022 Remix)

Redid the bass for the tune, and Frank rustled up a super remix! The rest are the  original excellent performances way back in 2013.

If You Think That's Better (c) Andy Gupta 2013, 2022

                                       
When you sent me that letter
Saying you wouldn't come and call;
You thought it better
If you weren't here at all
                                         
Well if you think that's better
                               
If you think that's better......

You could have told me
What you felt was wrong;
Did you think we'd lost it
Or did we come on strong
Oh you could've told me
You could've told me......

F                             C
Yesterday was a dream away
           F                                 Am
I was in your sights I was on your mind
F                                C                                           G
Now today you've gone and thrown it all away;
        Am Am/G#           Am7/G                             D
Oh you-                why can't you see what you do
                   C          F      (harmony fill gtr C and F)
You do to me
                              C    F  G
Yeah you do to me
                                          C
Well if you think that's better.......

Solo

When the dust will settle
Everything will fall in place;
And if I were to see you
You'd be another human face
Oh yes the dust will settle
The dust will settle..........

Repeat bridge then outro

If you think that's better.....

Also... a lack of computers involved in the recording. Maybe that is related!

I wonder if the world will ever again experience something as simple yet fun as the spirit of 60’s-70’s rock and roll. But I suppose every generation feels as strongly about their own music.

Enjoying it immensely.  8)

Sorry to hear the payout is so slow. otoh, way to go getting to the 100 mark! It's cool that you set these goals and exceed them, plays no small part in your success, I think.

6 months -  time for another update !

My July royalty payout from PRS was a very poor £87 which I gotta admit bummed me out a little. Although there were 25 tracks that paid something out there are still a bunch of international royalties missing , and I've had to raise online queries with my PRO in an attempt to get them sorted.  Because of Covid response times to these emails are about 3 months so it is taking forever to get to the bottom of it.  My case has been sent over to the International Dept now but I can't see it being sorted out by Octobers payout. Some of these TV placements are 3 years old now and I still haven't been paid properly.  i.e. getting £3 instead of £100 - 200

On the plus side this year has been the best yet in terms of TV placements.  So far it's 54 for the year ( I was hoping for one each week so I've exceeded my goal )  with the majority of them being on German TV shows.  I've had one track played repeatedly on the Bundesliga ( soccer ) coverage on the main channel in Germany so I'm hopeful of some decent royalties when they start coming through.

My all time total placements has now exceeded 100 and I'm hoping to complete at least 100 new tracks this year for the libraries I am working with.

The next royalty distribution is in about a month so I will drop by once I know the figures and share.
