Do you know a good song for a contemporary dance?
I am a guy, im looking for a song for a contemporary solo.
i have a couple ideas in mind. i either want one about a love story, whether that be me loving a girl, then her leaving me, or loving a girl that doesnt even know i exist. another idea is a dance about me being put down so much by others that i start to forget who i really am. really anything will work at this point i really need to find a song. i just really want the message to be "rip your heart out" powerful and moving. id prefer for it to start slow and then pick up with strong and powerful beats. i know this is very specific im sorry, but anything you have that could help would be REALLY helpful thank you!
Update:i forgot to mention, but id prefer if the song was sung by a guy, i think it would be more appropriate that way. as if its me singing the song from my heart and through my movement.

Since you requested male vocals I will edit out the females (unless a duet)...if you want more or instrumentals you can email me and I'll help as much as I can.

Contemporary pieces rarely use commercial music, you might want to mix some sound affects and vocal singing/speaking yourself.
