Are you a potential Agent? Join
Gozarks/ACH
"American Agent
Contest" and win BIG. Selling a song to the music business is
basically an impossibility to accomplish unless the song writer has
connections. Just look at the utter shit that's on the radio. If you know
someone that counts in Nashville or Hollywood, pitch this month's song to
them. If you become an Agent for a song, you must negotiate your own fees
with the publisher or Artist who owns and/or records it.

(YOU SOLD ME A) SIX PACK OF LIES -
LYRICS
I used to be a man
Who believed all he was told
An ignorant gullible male
Who used to have you to hold
But now I'm drinkin' alone
And at least I'm more the wise
You sold me a six pack of lies
You promised me the world
You said you'd never leave
But how was I to know
About that trick up your sleeve
I bought the whole darn story
Now you're seein' other guys
You sold me a six pack of lies.
Refrain:
You sold me a six pack of lies
In hopes that I would drive myself
to drink you off my mind.
And with each and every bottle
The more I realize
You sold me a six pack of lies
You sold me a six pack of lies.
Instrumental
I suppose I should forgive you
But on second thought I'll pass.
I'll toast you Miss Pinocchio
As I pour another glass.
I'm sore but I can't help it.
I believed your alibis.
You sold me a six pack of lies
Oh someday I may change my tune
and be your fool again
forget about your cheatin' heart
and every other sin
but I've falling off the wagon
and my patience is wearin' thin
so for now I'll just be sittin' here
with a brand new woman
and an ice cold beer.
You sold me a six pack of lies
In hopes that I would drive myself
to drink you off my mind.
And with each and every bottle
The more I realize
You sold me a six pack of lies
You sold me a six pack of lies.

EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT NOW --
LYRICS
Since I had a little change in my life
And that's you
Everything' s alright now
Its another kind of world
That spins in a whole new way
I'm swingin' on a happy star
As long as I can be where you where
Had a feelin we'd be goin far someday
Everything's alright now
Every day is like a walk in the park
In the summer time.
Everything's alright now
Got a different point of view
About the way life should be
Now you know what I've been goin' through
Just to get myself next to you.
Can't believe you really never knew
How I feel
Well, you could say I was a fool before
About the way I was livin'
But now with you
I found that secret door
Now I'm not foolish anymore
Instrumental
Everything's alright now,
Every day is like a walk in the park
In the summertime
Everything's alright now,
Everything's Alright Now
Since I had a little change in my life
And that's you
Everything' s alright now
It's another kind of world
That spins in a whole new way
I'm swingin' on a happy star
As long as I can be where you where
Had a feelin we'd be goin far someday
Everything's alright now
Everything's alright now
Everything's alright now
CONTEST
RULES (subject to revision)
Gozarks/ACH makes this forum available for Ozark folks first and any and
all aspiring singers, songwriters and musicians as well.
All talented musicians and songwriters are invited to submit original
songs for inclusion in our American Agent Contest.
Send original material (contact info
below) anyway you can as long as we can understand it. Include your lyrics
in written form and send the song in mp3 format if possibly or, better
still, point us to the URL (webpage address) where the song may be played online.
If you can't do any of that, send us a
demo tape or CD and Gozarks/ACH will convert to mp3 format for you if we
deem it a good song. Also, write a little bio about yourself and what the
song means to you.
All entries will be reviewed for content
and talent. Stick to any subject, love, loss, heartbreak, drinking, sex
(keep this one with a minimum of foul language) political dialogue and
even rap if you want.
There is only one exclusion -- No
religious music please. No gods of any sort. There is enough sectarianism
going on for our taste in this world as it is.
All songs should not be more than five
minutes long and should be original so we don't have hassles over
permission. If you are an exceptional singer, that could be the exception.
Gozarks/ACH makes clear a 3% commission is
agreed upon for us if Artist is awarded a recording contract as a result
of this promotion and by submitting your material you agree to these
terms. This fee is for posting the song only and Gozarks/ACH makes no
claim on Artist's copyright ownership.
For you potential Agents out there. If you
know anyone with power and clout (and that is the American way), call 'em
up and pitch a song if you like it. Don't take NO for an answer. No songs
on the radio ever get there any other way except via connections.
Gozarks/ACH makes no claim to having such
connections but does claim a knack with generating free publicity and thus
giving undiscovered Artists a small shot that is better and cheaper than
any Song Writers Guides in print or on the net (which are largely bullshit
anyway).
We will feature one or two good tunes per month
and then archive it at this site for future review. Are you picking up what we're laying down?
