Just for fun... I always loved the piano in the TV series Incredible Hulk; And the theme song to The Six Million Dollar Man LOL. I also loved the music in the movie Last Of The Mohicans

That music is paid for through Synchronization Licensing, a lucrative market of global proportions. When the world was young we had three TV stations; 3, 8, and 13. There was ABC, CBS, and NBC. Now, according to Bruce Springsteen, there are "Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on." And all the channels have 'content'. Situation comedies, dramas, documentaries, two-hour movies, half-hour shows. And commercial advertising to pay for it all. Jingles, like "You deserve a break today, at McDonald's!" got into our heads and stayed there, memorable, ear-worm-y. And sold product. That made the jingle worth money to the seller. Brief. Not a 3:30 'Song', just a six second, or 15 second, or 30 second 'composition', something with 'Hook Factor', able to 'Hook' listeners' auditory attention while the sales pitch was made, visually. Commercial ads pay for radio too, all auditory, but the same elements; sounds that get your attention while words sell you on buying the product. Name recognition. Repetition. Repetition. And concepts. Somehow the music and words make us think we'd be happy or happier if we ate that, wore this, drove one of those. It works, and music can be a major element in making it work. So it's worth money to them to 'use' it. In a Synchronization License you 'license' a 'use' of your Master Recording and your Copyright for a specified period of time. You continue to own your Master Recording and Copyright. At the end of the License period, all rights return to you and you can market your Intellectual Property again for any other 'use'. Listen to the old TV shows, "Andy of Mayberry", that whistling tune. Others. "Gunsmoke". "The Beverly Hillbillies" is more complete as a Song. Jingles, brief, memorable, beginning, middle, end. There are six second ads on the internet, 15 second ads, with music 'Licensed' for 'use' in the background. There was a show called "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" and someone was wailing amazing guitar riffs in the background of scenes. Someone got paid. If you're producing 'broadcast ready' recordings, and own the Master and control the Copyright, you could market them to Music Supervisors who have a budget to pay for the 'use' of your music in other media through Synchronization Licensing.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

Ha! How could I forget Andy Griffith and The Beverly Hillbillies! I suppose the question is, how do you get these "Music Supervisors" attention...? Sure would be nice to know when they're shopping for a particular piece of music

The theme to the film "Somewhere in Time" https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4ue1c9 . A beautiful theme. Of course, it was composed by John Barry. You can Google to find all his theme credits. He composed the soundtracks for 11 of the James Bond films. John
