i am no longer doing subterranean homesick blues as all covers i found online didnt really suit my vision. however i am happy because i have sent an email to a signed band from south africa called the dirty skirts asking permission to use one of their songs. they are quite popular out there and have emailed me back surprisingly quickly. the song i am using is called feeling the pressure. but i accidentally typed under pressure because i was listening to bowie haha :/. anyway surprisingly they still said i could use there song and even offered to send me a free mp3:). anyway here is the email and the reply.

Hi i am an A-level media student currently attending framwellgate school durham in the uk and our task has been set to create a music video for a band however the copyrighted music or cover versions of music i like is poor and does not really meet the standards I require and this is a band I have followed for a couple of years who aren't really massive in the UK so the song fits the criteria. i was wondering if i can get permission to use the song ''under pressure'' for my project. i will be happy to sent the finished product to you if you want or if you have any other requirements.

sincerely rob cansino

Hi there. I assume you mean our song "Feeling the pressure". You have our permission. We'd like to see the end product. But for the purposes of your project, please go ahead.
Do you need us to email you through an MP3?
Thanks,
Jeremy
