Lista Przebojów Programu Trzeciego

Hello,

My name is Pedro Costa I am an independent / unsigned singer-songwriter-producer from Canada
Someone I met on Last.fm pitched my song "The Light" to the list and got me in.
I feel so blessed my song has gone this far. The response from fans has been amazing.
It gives me great pleasure to hear that people enjoy what I do

I would like your help in two ways:
1. Please vote for my song this week
2. Please tell your friends to vote too

Also feel free to listen to and download my music at: http://music.pedrocosta.com

Thanks very much,

I quite like the song.
I would say that it is better than most of the songs on the voting list.

Not bad, not bad . It sounds a bit homemade, but noone says that's bad. That's also something interesting.
"I need The Light (db Remix)" is the best for me. Even though it's remix. Specially first part has interesting climate, but also part with the beat is good. Song sounds a bit like Depeche Mode. Only the ending not so well (probably because it's remix).

For your information - i've just noticed, that yesterday they played it (I mean "The Light") at Trojka in the morning program. O here it is: http://www.polskieradio.pl/trojka/tubaron/?d=20090325

Cool thanks a lot.
Yes it is homemade. I do it all myself at home with very little equipment.
The "I need the light remix" is by a friend of mine. I'll let him know you liked it.
If you are interested in more of his music here's his music page: http://dbplays.bandcamp.com/

Thanks

I know it's homemade, 'cause it can be heard . I know sth about that, I remember what problems we've got with my friends recording drums (we had only mics for vocal).

I wasn't listening too carefully but I think Piotr Baron mentioned Vancouver radio and perhaps even talked to someone from there before playing the song.
Now I wish I had paid more attention then.

Do you know the name of the radio station in Vancouver that would be connected with the Polish community.
I'd love to get in touch with them and see if they can promote my song there too.
Thanks Robinson

Potwierdzam - było też się nie wsłuchiwałam, ale pamiętam
I confirm - it was played yesterday morning.
BTW, Pedro, is there a hit list in your country with such a long tradition as this one?
And how are your songs received in your country?

Hi nemo,

No I don't think there is.
North America is very controlled by the big labels.
I couldn't even get a station in my small town to play one of my songs because they are owned by big companies that tell them what music to play.
The internet is great though, people all over the world can enjoy my music.

that's the great advantage of the internet broadcast

This list has given me a bit of push in confidence.
It's hard when you do it all yourself. Very easy to get down and discouraged.

Last night I wrote a bunch of new things. My creative energy is increasing.
Thank you for that.

I like the song in Portugese (or Spanish?) - A beira da estrada.
What is it about?
Is the author of the cover the person who told you about this forum? His surname suggests he is from Poland.

Thanks nemo. It's in Portuguese.
The song is about a drug addict sitting at the side of the road wondering if she will be able to make it another day.
It is from a true experience. There was a woman that sat by the road all day close to the office I work at and she seemed to be doing drugs.
So I wrote a song about what her experience may be and how she might feel.

No I just looked for a picture of a lady sitting on the side of the road. I found that picture that was free to use and it was perfect. I have wanted to thank the person for the picture but I can't find an email address for him.

Oh I see.
Did you consider recording the English version of this song?
And as far as the author of the photo is concerned, he'll find you himself, once you're fameous thanks to our hit list

Actually a few people have asked to do that. I think it would be a good idea. I just need to write lyrics in English for it and re-record the vocals.
I have a lot of other ideas on the go right now for the new album. I shortlisted 19 ideas to work on. I've been putting in a few hours before bed at night so it might be a while

Who knows, maybe someday you'll sing something in Polish.

I do know how to say cześć
But that's it

That's already something to start with
You've probably noticed that each time the hit list is accompanied by a separate thread, where the listeners meet to comment on the songs and their expectations concerning the TOP 50. This time it will be called "Notowanie 1417". Why don't you come and join in as well?

Thanks nemo,

Perhaps i will try to use the Google translator, and people will say no, no, no you are making no sense LOL

Don't worry! Just write in English and I'm sure there will be some who will write in English occasionally.
Join in during our commentary!

Sounds good. I'll try to keep up

Hello all.
I noticed that on my listing it now says I am on the list
http://lp3.polskieradio.pl/utwor/artykul8537,2644.aspx
Does this mean I may have made the top 50 this week???
Thanks,

Actually, it's new site, and we still don't know how it works. Probably you're right, but sometimes it changes between morning and evening.

I guess we will find out soon enough. Just thought it was different because last week it didn't show anything.

Just 1 and a half hours before we find out.
