Name That Song

31 Aug

Hi all,

I need your help! I wrote this song, i love it, i want to record it and make it my next single available exclusively on iTunes and with it’s own video clip and everything… but, it’s a bit hard to release a song when it doesn’t have a name.

So, the video explains it all but i’ve put a little checklist of what to do underneath, just to make it simple – please help me name my song!

1. Watch the video and marvel over my beauty and songwriting skills

2. Facebook, Tweet, YouTube or email me namethatsong@sambuckingham.com your song name ideas.

3. when i have a favourite 5 i’ll put them up here on my site for you to vote for YOUR favourite (I’ll let you know how to vote when the time comes)

The song name with the most votes wins and VOILA! you have named my song

PRIZES

if your song name makes it to the Top 5 you get

1. Signed Gravity CD

2. A poem specially written from me to you

3. and a nice little present just for you that shall remain a secret until you receive it in the mail

if your song name becomes THE song name you get

1. Signed Gravity CD

2. A poem specially written from me to you

3. The ONLY physical recording (on CD) of this song in a handmade sleeve with cover art made by me (yes, i do make VERY good CD covers with fabrics and puff paints and sparkles oh my! And yes, I will take artistic requests)

4. A framed & signed copy of the original lyrics sheet from when i wrote the song.. scribbles and all

5. and a nice little present just for you that shall remain a secret until you receive it in the mail

This is a fun game, yes? I think you should invite your friends to play! They’d want to hear the song i’m sure – and it will give you something to talk about next time you’re all getting your nails done.

Rules & Stuff

You can suggest as many song names as you want!

If i pick your song name, i will let you know! I’ll need your name & address so i can send you some prizes

If 2 or more people suggest the same name, i will take the first person who said it. If i notice a double up i will try to get back in touch with the double-er(s) to give you a chance to send through another song name but I am only one person so I might miss it. If you think i made a mistake please tell me, in a nice way, so i can do my best to make it right

Game is open to everyone, anywhere in the world!

The top 5 and how to vote for your favourite will be announced in a few weeks. Then, the winner will be announced when the song is released

All prizes will be sent once the song is released

That’s all the rules.. get typing!

Count My Blessings

17 Aug

Hello hello another new song! Wrote this one yesterday. It’s about growing up and moving on and being free to live your life the way you want to and knowing that you can. It’s also about a boy, but that comes second to it being about discovering yourself and how you want to live – for yourself…
