about

A tribute to all the hard working Music Supervisors out there!

lyrics

"Dear Music Supervisor"
Is not what I want to see on my subject line
"Dear Music Supervisor"
Tells me that you clearly haven't taken the time
To get to know where I'm coming from or what I do
All the lists and deadlines
I have to go through.....20, 000 F#$**#@* SONGS!!!
(Clean version please)

You don't know my name but you send me everything
(EVERYTHING!)
You keep trying to hit me up
Again, and again
("Um can you check your DM's please?!")

I know you think the song you sang at your neighbour’s 2nd cousin’s twice removed 3rd wedding will for sure as hell be hot damn exactly the thing I’m looking for for my production
("But it's so good!")

These details drive me crazy
And they keep on comin'
They go like..

“Dear music supervisor
I know exactly what it is you need
Dear music supervisor
The tarot cards said it was meant to be
Just send me the contract, so that, all I have to do is sign
So that placement is mine……"

Yeah, that's not quite how it works
Let me give you a few pointers
Don’t want no LARGE ATTACHMENTS
Polite persistence NOT HARASSMENT
Treat us like the human beings we are
And you will go far

Please clear All YOUR SAMPLES
Don’t send me, ALL YOUR DEMOS
If you pack your meta data
Like a pinata
Sweet things be comin’ atcha
(Contact info, PRO, Splits)

“Dear music supervisor”
Is not what I want to see on my subject line
Dear music supervisor…………….
Dear music supervisor

We are here for you
Please help make our job easy
Get your ducks in a row
Be concise
Be nice about it
Just send me one or two songs
And finally
No
I haven't read your email yet
But I will
If you're nice
