PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!!!!! People are posting songs that has nothing to do with what I asked for. No Rock or Metal.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!!!!!

R&B, Rap, Pop or Country That's it. I would prefer a Pink song. Or if any one knows the song Wale did a while about a gay female would be nice. It's for an LGBT project I am doing. I need something easy on the ears.

PLEASE LISTEN BEFORE POSTING!!!!!!
Example of the tempo I am looking for.

You might be better off finding a musical friend who can improvise a tune; if you use copyrighted material you might wind up with more trouble than it's worth.

Have you considered writing to Pink's agent and asking for permission to use a specific tune?

A lot of people never think about copyright or royalties at all. It is good to use something in the "public domain" so that you can avoid this issue: one reason people sometimes go for producing a Shakespeare play is because no royalties or permission is involved. Something you have probably never noticed--as most people do not--is how much classical music is used in everything from cartoons to nature films, background in ordinary movies, and so on. Woody Allen uses classical music very effectively in his movie "Scoop" and it is free to use a composition hundreds of years old like that. Also, importantly for your purpose, I find that most such projects try to "cram it all in" and pile on too much overlapping stuff, which becomes distracting: like you are trying to listen to a narrator speaking words about Lesbian issues while meanwhile a song is playing as "background" which has lyrics about Lesbians at the same time, and it is impossible to concentrate on either as a consequence of too much happening all at once. Some simple classical music--Woody Allen also used it in "Love and Death with Diane Keaton--does not distract one from what is being said as the narration.

Mary Lambert - She Keeps Me Warm
