People keep asking why I let Neon Jungle put my song "Waiting Game" on their album when my album has yet to come out. The answer is I was never asked. I was as shocked as you to see this song made up of my own heartbeats on their album. A song that was born from my real life, my real heartache, my real fingertips when I was at one of the most confusing times in my life.
How strange it is to see it used on someone else's album before it even comes out on mine.
It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Like my own thoughts were stolen from me and sold as someone elses. I am a new artist and new to this business and I am told it is legal. But it feels really icky. I guess I can only hope Waiting Game means as much to Neon Jungle as it did to me when I wrote it....... BANKS

Even if it's a cover, you still have to buy the copyrights/inform the original artist right?

And the word "cover" is usually used for famous songs, in this case it's a brand new song from a new/unknown artist. Can i just go on the Internet, search for 10 indie songs, put it in my album and call it "covers"???
