Hello everyone,
Please note I am only looking for a rough price as I need to save first before choosing someone. So this may be cancelled later on.
I have a lyric and other lyrics that I am saving to make into songs. I have the basic melody played on the piano for the lyric of what a singer would roughly sing and how I want it to roughly sound like. I would like to know whether any singers are interesting in collaborating with me and an arranger (which I am saving for) to make this lyric into a powerful song - both male and females welcome (All countries welcome as along as you can speak english). Also need to be comfortable with singing different song types. 2 lyrics below for example
I plan to place this in the International Songwriting Contest and the Great American Song Contest at my cost and I am willing place the name of the singer on the song and if it were to be selected I would share any winnings between all participating persons (I know what it is like to be scammed so I am serious about this) I received an evaluation from the Great American contest and they said I had potential so I want to pursue it further.
I have a youtube link below of the piano and the lyric sample is just the first verse, pre chorus and chorus at the moment. The lyrics are below. Please note that the lyrics may not match the music as I am still learning piano and there is an intro section before the actually melody. This is just to give you an idea.
Lyrics are below.
Magnificent
Your memory blows through the cracks of my life
Like a presence that won't fade
Like a scar I can't erase now
Your essence lingers on my broken tears
A farewell gift left by you
After unforgettable years
You took to your wings
And with it took my heart
And I keep wondering
How did we get this far
'Cause remember when we were magnificent
Our beating hearts were entwined as one
We were supposed to last forever
But forever became just one
It reads out like a love story
A rollercoaster ride of memories
So remember when we last kissed
I want to go back to when we were magnificent

Please let me know on a rough price of your services and how much this would cost. The song consists of a Verse/PreChorus/Chorus x 2 then bridge/chorus. I have to save the money so I may not choose anyone I just want an estimate so I can save.
Please add samples if you want of your skills, you can also add a small sample of this lyric if you wish to give me an idea but it is not necessary. For this song I am looking for a powerful singer, although I am interested in all singers.
Here is the link to my youtube profile, the name of the clip is magnificent that you have to listen to with the piano backdrop.

So again a rough estimate of what this will cost so I can start saving. If it is below the 250 mark please specify in your bid. If you are willing to do it for free as well please let me know. I can send evaulations of the song to you after the competitions end if you want feedback of your singing from professionals. Other lyric sample of different types I write for a person to sing for an idea if you want to bid-
Even Men Cry
VERSE 1
There's an old man standing by an old oak tree
He says "Hey there kid were you looking for me?"
He has tear stained cheeks from a time gone by
If you ask him was he crying, he'll just deny
PRE CHORUS
'Cause there's a side of him he protects the most
He lets no one in, he's too proud to hurt
But behind closed doors, away from prying eyes
He sits on his bed, hangs his head and cries
CHORUS
Even men cry
When the world gets too big
Their expected to do almost anything
A shield of armour before the storm
But when the rain stops, their feelings show
Even men cry
With their brave face showing
But they won't tell you, don't want you knowing
A painted picture, painted oh so well
To perfectly painted so no-one tells
Even men cry
Even men cry
Even men cry sometimes
Thanks
