Listened to some heavily downloaded tracks on Pond5 and quickly realized that I can easily do much of what I heard. For pieces in the Pop Rock genre they're mostly instrumental imitations of popular bands/songs, or original compositions influenced by such. In the area of film scoring that was a little more complicated, although I don't think that stuff gets sold as much, so I should probably focus on the areas where I can make some kind of money.
This piece isn't quite as "commercial" as it could be. I had already started it before listening to the above mentioned works, but it could still be in something.

Day 157: No Story, Just Music
So, I don't delve into the world on pop very often, but sometimes you just go where the music takes you. Today it took me to, what I can only think of as Pop World™! This super-pop piece was working with several very high quality loops from Nine Volt Audio and high quality instruments (Propellerhead creations - Bass and Drums specifically). I thought it came out decent. The lyrics on the other hand....
Lyrics:
You and I only have one day left.
We just have tonight.
You are the one,
It's oh so true,
You hold my heart,
When I'm next to you.
I don't know if I can say goodbye.
You in your overcoat,
Click of heels on the street,
As we walk hand in hand into the light.
You leap commitments in a single bound,
Don't let your feet touch the ground
Our future's nearly out of sight.
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
REFRAIN
You thought the challenge would be the future,
Turned out all the obstacles were in the past.
I was the first, but I know you won't be last.
You'll never be the last.

Day 90: Here We Go
House is not a genre that really calls to me (unless it's made by Daft Punk), but today you will hear the rare house track, made by yours truly. EDIT: I was informed this is an *electro* track. My bad! It all sounds the same to old people like me and I'm crap with genres.
Lyrics:
Hold on to your hat, cause here we go.
I hope you're ready for the show.
You know you're my friend and I love you.
We've got to get together too.

Day 89: Buy One, Get One Free
Just a bit of fun with some synth silliness, followed buy a bit of weirdness with some bit-crushing and piano.
Lyrics:
You are so good, you are a super-shopper.
You have all the love in the world.
Slow down Margaret,
You're going way too fast.
We've only got one thing left.
You're going way too fast.
Slow down Margaret.
You're going way too fast.
We've only got one minute left
You're going way too fast.
You've got to slow down Margaret.

Slow down Margaret.
You're going way too fast.
We've only got one minute left
You're going way too fast.
You've got to slow down Margaret.
