Original English Song – Simple Emotional Ballad (Music Needed)

I’m looking for a composer / producer to create a melody and musical arrangement for an original English ballad.
All lyrics are complete and provided below.

I want something simple, warm, emotional, and intimate.
No heavy production. Think piano or guitar with subtle support.
Nothing experimental. Nothing over-mixed.
I’m looking for clean vocals and a heartfelt delivery.

Important notes:

I don� ... �t need mixing/mastering for other artists.

I don’t need ongoing production for multiple songs.

I don’t need complex instrumentation or full orchestration.

This project is ONLY for this one song and its arrangement.

Deliverables

• Full melody written over my lyrics
• Vocal recording (lead, light harmonies optional)
• Simple instrumental (piano or guitar preferred)
• Final mixed version (mp3 + wav)
• Stems (optional, not required)

Budget

Up to $200 total. Fixed.
(Please do not submit proposals above this amount.)

Lyrics (Copyright © Rey David Vidal, 2024)

“When the World Falls Out From Under You”

I
I’m not here with excuses,
I’m not here to pretend.
Sometimes we break ourselves
just trying not to bend.
And even though the road was long
and breathing felt like pain,
what I need to tell you now
I won’t hide it again.

Pre-Chorus
I’m not speaking from my pride,
or from the fears we used to share…
I’m speaking from the part of me
that never stopped being there.

Chorus
When the world falls out from under you,
when you can’t find air to breathe,
when the night feels heavier
than anything you carry…
I’m still in your memory,
that part doesn’t change.
I’m not your promised ending
or your forever story…
but if you call my name,
I’m still there.

II
I don’t know if it was distance,
I don’t know if it was pain.
All I know is that your name
still echoes in my voice again.
I didn’t come to open wounds,
or to bring back yesterday…
I just came to say in silence
what you already know anyway.

Pre-Chorus
Because even when life breaks us
into pieces now and then…
some bonds keep on breathing
even when we won’t admit them.

Chorus
When the world falls out from under you,
when you can’t find air to breathe,
when the night feels heavier
than anything you carry…
I’m still in your memory,
that part doesn’t change.
I’m not your promised ending
or your forever story…
but if you call my name,
I’m still there.

Bridge
This isn’t some empty promise,
or a way to pull you back…
it’s just that what we were
is stronger than the cracks.
And if someday you look behind
and find some light in me…
that light is yours,
it always was, you see.

Final Chorus
When the world falls out from under you,
when nothing seems enough,
when everything around you
tries to knock you off your feet…
no distance really matters,
you know who I’ve been.
I’m not asking you to come back…
just to remember
that I was there.
