SmithTunes™ and SmithSongs™
-- Personalized Songs Written For You
One of the coolest gifts you can give someone
is one most people don't even think of: a song, personalized or even written
expressly for them. Now TSO makes it easy and fun!
There are two types of personalized song: the
SmithTune™, basically a song "template" to which you add
information, and the truly personalized SmithSong™, written
from scratch by me just for you.
SmithTunes™
This one's a piece of cake. Simply select
one of the song templates (new ones are added all the time), fill in the
information, and complete your order. I will sing your personalized lyrics
and send you an audio CD-R with your song!
SmithTunes have several things going for them:
- An unforgettable gift -- flowers fade, tchotchkes
get lost or broken, books are shelved... but a song lasts forever!
- Written and performed by Tom Smith, award-winning
singer-songwriter (heard on NPR and Dr. Demento)
- Speedy completion and delivery -- most songs
will be completed and sent out within two days
- Jewel case with professionally designed
label, tray card, insert, and lyrics included
- Low price of $69.95 (incl. shipping)
If you've reached this page without having
heard my work before, well, I'm not merely a "professional singer/songwriter"
that no one has ever heard of. Check out my
press kit for my bona fides and some audio samples. I work in every
genre, and I write songs the old-fashioned way: to last. SmithTunes
get the same care, craft, and passion from start to finish that I put
into anything going onto my next album. I am determined to not merely
enter the market, but conquer it, one song at a time.
To get started, pick a song from the drop-down
menu below.
SmithSongs™
Okay, it's kind of a dumb name. But what it
is is an original song, written and recorded by me, just for you.
This isn't slack work, either. Exhibit A of
what I've done on commission is "A
Dragon's Lullaby". (If you've reached this page without having
heard my music before, check out my
press kit for my credentials and some audio samples.) Here are others
I've done recently:
The base price for a single song is $349. Writing
it will take some time -- even if I nail the idea and write the initial
lyrics within minutes, we'll likely interact for some fine-tuning (e-mail,
although phone contact is also possible) -- but it should be reasonably
timely, within six weeks or so and usually within a month. (Rush jobs
are doable; contact me for particulars.) I retain the rights the song,
and may use it how I see fit (although you will always receive credit
for the idea).
If you're paying for a song, especially as
a gift, you want it to be good. I don't want to take your money
for hack work -- my pride, skill, and reputation are on the line. And
you want a song that touches your heart, makes you laugh, makes you cry,
makes things special -- a song you'll want to listen to and sing again
and again.
