White Rock Beach Idol? Some possible words for the “White Rock Beach Song”

We have had some responses to our idea of a song for White Rock Beach.

Below is our first revision shopping list of some possible words.

We are looking for a person or group that can produce a song where the vocals overpower the music (not the music washing out the words).

Rock, Folk, Ballad, Rap — if you can help make something we like – LETS TALK.

(NO MONEY INVOLVED – ONLY FREE PROMOTION – this is not a paying job)

We want to try and duplicate something similar to what we did for the Black Squirrels of London Song in 2003.

We supplied a shopping list of things to be included in the Black Squirrels of London song and the final product was amazing – click the RED button and judge for yourelf.downloader_r1_c2_f2[1]

We want something original, and not set to music already published. We do not want any copyright claims. The song will be offered for FREE ONLINE – NOT SOLD.  We can make a video with images of White Rock Beach postcards for YouTube. Ideally all we need is a high quality MP3 – we might see if a local recording studio wants to help – first we need a a song to record before asking. If you can get a booking to sing this song – you keep any performing fees. We have a Sea Festival coming up, Canada Day, and many more events.

We will create a feature page on WhiteRockBeach.ca / WhiteRockZone.com for you and your group and linked to your site or social media, etc. We want to have a say in the final product we use on our site. We want unlimted uses for our sites or broadcasting at NO CHARGE. We offer FREE promotion online and will help with some photography and other services for FREE.  Ric Wallace has been on many TV networks in Canada and the USA (seen by over 300 million viewers worldwide), and might be able to get you on TV.  He is working on pitching a followup show (in BC) where he was featured, along with others I helped get on TV.  We want to work with people not camera or TV shy- think of this as White Rock Beach Idol. – LOL   We want to make you famous.

See this posting: We need a SONG to help promote White Rock Beach

Anyone can create their own song NOT meeting our guidelines and place on Youtube without our permission, but you may not get the help of us to promote it.  If we like it we might give you a FREE plug in a posting at no charge. Help us produce what we envision, and we will try our best to get you lots of attention.

Some possible words for the song – not cast in stone or rock.

RED – would really like in the song.
