Tom Jensen is a 47-year-old lyricist with 34 albums of original material — 433 songs, 120 recorded, the rest waiting for music and singers. He is building a live, collaborative songwriting venue and online platform where musicians, fans, and dreamers co-create new music in real time and share in the profits. The catalog is finished. The legal framework is in place. The rating system (G to X) makes the work accessible to every audience. The strategy — free lyrics with mandatory attribution, then a premium commission — is designed to spread the name ubiquitously before cashing in. No other lyricist is running this play. The model: release all 433 songs free with attribution. Build ubiquity. Then sell Album 35 — a bespoke commission for the right partner — for serious money. In between: a live venue, a revenue-share app, online competitions, merch, sync licenses, and a community of contributors who all have a stake in the outcome. The Ask A business-minded partner with contacts, vision, and resources. A guaranteed weekly salary. Basic health coverage. A chunk of funk up front.

29 Yrs Writing 433 Songs 34 Albums 120 Recorded G–X Rating Stack A · Business Plan 5 Pages · ~8 Min Read Table of Contents Who Tom Is What Collaborhythm Is The Catalog The Business Model The Ask Section I Who Tom Is Tom Jensen. 47. Lyricist. 29 years of writing. Salem, MA. Tom Jensen has been writing songs and poems since his early 20s. Over nearly three decades he has built a catalog of 433 original works — 120 recorded, the rest ready for music and singers. His work spans every emotional register: tender love songs, political commentary, addiction and recovery, humor, grief, spirituality, and explicit personal narrative. The catalog is rated G through X, giving every collaborator and audience a clear map of what they are getting into before they begin. He is the creator of the Bisexual Anthem . He preserved the music of Lady Weaver , a founding collaborator who passed away. He has worked with musicians across the United States and internationally — every collaborator verified, every right established, every name in the chain. He built collabtunes.com — a 170-page website housing the full catalog, business plans, lyric use certificates, video content, and navigation guides — largely on his own, with AI assistance, over months of sustained effort. The site is days away from launch. Section II What Collaborhythm Is Collaborhythm / Collabtunes is a live, interactive songwriting venue and online platform. In person: musicians perform and create original songs in real time. Online: a live moderator relays audience input directly to the stage. An app registers contributors, logs their creative participation, and automates revenue sharing — contributors receive 3–10% of earnings per song they helped create. Every session produces original music. Every contributor has a verifiable stake. Every song has a chain of credit that extends backward to Tom's lyrics and forward to whoever adds music, vocals, arrangements, or translations. The chain is the product. The chain is also the legal protection. Strip a name from it and you lose permission to use the materials. Live Venue In-person songwriting. Audience participates. Real-time creation. Revenue share from ticket sales, merch, and café. Online Platform Streamed globally. App registers contributors. Automated credit and revenue split. Tournament formats available. Section III The Catalog 34 albums. 433 songs. 24 Set Lists and 10 Song Lists. 120 songs fully recorded with verified musicians. The remaining 313 are complete as lyrics — waiting for the right collaborators to bring them to life. G / PG ~120 songs. Safe for all ages. Full collections of devotion, romance, and spiritual depth. PG-13 ~200 songs. Addiction, politics, mental health, war. Serious craft and wide commercial range. R / X ~175 songs. Explicit, intense, unfiltered. The edge of the catalog — filtered for serious audiences. The G/PG tier alone is five full albums of commercially viable, family-friendly material. This is not a niche shock catalog. It is a complete body of work with something for every audience, every market, and every collaborator. Section IV The Business Model Three moves. Executed in sequence. 1 — Free Release All 433 lyrics free with mandatory attribution. Non-exclusive. Permanent. Name spreads. Chain compounds. Commercial value proven by market action. 2 — Live + App Venue opens. App tracks contributors. Revenue share runs automatically. Every session creates new songs and new stakeholders. 3 — Album 35 Once the name is ubiquitous, sell Album 35 — a bespoke commission — for $500k or more. Exclusive first use. All rights retained. Free catalog stays free forever. Revenue streams are phased: Day One (admissions, merch, café, lyric books, Patreon); YouTube launch (ad revenue, sponsorships, streaming royalties); App launch (in-app purchases, subscriptions); Club vs. Club competitions (multi-venue battles, live streaming); and eventually: sync licensing, publishing deals, Broadway, and global franchise expansion. Section V — The Ask Tom Jensen has taken this as far as one person with a pen, a notebook, and a phone can go. The catalog is done. The site is built. The strategy is clear. What is missing is the team, the space, and the resources to launch. A guaranteed weekly salary — enough to pay bills and focus on the work Basic health coverage A sign-on bonus as a show of good faith A percentage of all revenue generated A partner with contacts, organizational skills, and vision Contact: (978) 595-3497 · collaborhythmtom@gmail.com · collabtunes.com

29 Yrs Writing 433 Songs 34 Albums 120 Recorded G–X Rating Stack A · Business Plan 10 Pages · ~15 Min Read Table of Contents Executive Overview The Artist The Catalog — 34 Albums Business Model — Three Moves Legal & Licensing Framework Revenue Streams — All Phases The Team Needed Why Now The Ask Executive Overview Why This Is Different Most songwriters have a handful of albums and a hope. Tom Jensen has 34 albums, 433 songs, a legal framework that is already working, a fully built website, and a strategy that no one else is running — because it took 29 years to build the catalog that makes it possible. The Collaborhythm strategy is not built on hope. It is built on a chain. A chain of verified contributors, established rights, and compounding attribution. Every person who uses Tom's lyrics becomes part of that chain. Every cover of a cover extends it. Every translation, remix, or reinterpretation adds a link. The chain cannot be bought, captured, or closed by any corporate entity — because it was designed that way from the start. This document is the 10-page overview. It covers the artist, the catalog, the model, the legal structure, the revenue projections, and the ask. It is written for a serious collaborator, manager, or professional who wants to understand the full architecture before committing time or resources. Section I The Artist — Tom Jensen Name: Tom Jensen · Age: 47 · Location: Salem, MA · Role: Lyricist / Founder Tom Jensen has been writing songs and poems since his early 20s. Over 29 years he accumulated 433 original works — 120 recorded with verified musicians, the rest ready for music and singers. He built the entire collabtunes.com website over months of sustained effort, largely alone. He is the creator of the Bisexual Anthem. He preserved the music of Lady Weaver, a founding collaborator and muse who passed away. He has collaborated with musicians in the US, China, Denmark, and beyond. Tom does not need to be famous. The strategy does not require it. What it requires is that the name Collaborhythm becomes ubiquitous — that thousands of musicians around the world are building on these lyrics, crediting the source, and making Tom's chain longer and more valuable with every project they complete. Fame is optional. Attribution is mandatory. That distinction is the engine of the entire model. Key Collaborators (Verified Chain) Lady Weaver (vocalist, founding muse, deceased) · Justin Justice · Klaus Bluetner · Tyler Thompson · Bryan Magsayo · Lai Youttitham · Rebekah Ann Curtis · William Elmore · Tiffany Anne · Jon Jacobs · Justin Osowiecki · Big Suna Section II The Catalog — 34 Albums 34 collections. 24 Set Lists and 10 Song Lists. 433 total songs. G through X. Song Lists 1–10 Standalone thematic collections. Titles: The Last Man Singing, Sheila Tequila, A Day at the Office, A Traveler in the Distance, Love Without a Doubt, Undertows and Afterglows, High Tides and Landslides, A Knight for a Lady, Between Us and Love, One Piece Missing. Set Lists 1–24 Full-length albums with unified themes. From Glass Half Something (debut) through Bi Ride or Die (final). Every emotional register represented. Clear trigger warnings on each. The G/PG tier — five complete clean collections totaling approximately 120 songs — is the commercial foundation. These are not isolated safe tracks buried in explicit albums. They are complete collections of devotion, romance, and spiritual depth that can be presented to any audience, any platform, any sponsor without modification. The catalog is structured so that any collaborator can find exactly what they need by rating, by theme, by mood, or by track — using the 10+ reference and index pages on collabtunes.com. Section III The Business Model — Three Moves The model is sequential. Each phase funds the next. Each phase makes the next phase more valuable. Move 1 — Free Catalog Release All 433 lyrics released free with one condition: mandatory attribution. Non-exclusive licenses only. Commercial use is permitted and encouraged. The lyricist waives mechanical royalty collection on lyrics. Musicians retain full rights to their own melodies, arrangements, and recordings. The chain grows with every use. The name compounds with every cover. Move 2 — Live Venue + Community App A physical space hosting real-time collaborative songwriting. A live moderator relays online audience input to the stage. An app registers contributors and automates revenue sharing: 3–10% per song per verified contributor. Every session creates new songs, new stakeholders, and new marketing content. The venue is the proof-of-concept. The app is the scalability engine. Move 3 — The Payday (Album 35) Once the name is ubiquitous and commercial value is demonstrated by market action, announce that new lyrics will be exclusive and paid. Sell a new album of 10–12 songs for $500,000 or more, exclusive first use only. All copyrights retained. The free catalog remains free forever. This is the bidding war phase — and it is only possible because of the 29 years that came before it. Section IV Legal & Licensing Framework The Lyric Use Certificate is a 3–4 page document governing use of all lyrics. It is live at collabtunes.com/terms. It covers: contributor information, song titles used, type of contribution, optional open music opt-in, and attribution agreement. Signing grants permission. Violating terms revokes it. All copyrights registered Non-exclusive licenses only — corporate capture structurally blocked Mandatory attribution — the chain is the enforcement mechanism Verified contributor chain — 120 musicians already in the system Neutral third-party dispute resolution Platform monetization claims: lyricist will never claim YouTube earnings on music someone else created Live performances covered by venue licensing — play anywhere The legal structure is intentionally transparent. The goal is a framework that serious collaborators can trust and bad actors cannot game. The chain is public. The rules are clear. The enforcement is community-based and legally backed. Section V Revenue Streams — All Phases Revenue is organized into five phases tied to operational milestones: Day One Admissions · Ticket sales · Café / bar / food · Lyric books · CDs · Merch · Patreon · Co-creation credits · Donations · Pop-up shows YouTube Launch Ad revenue (lyric videos, live streams, finished songs) · Channel sponsorships · Streaming royalties (Spotify, Apple, etc.) · 24/7 programming App Launch In-app purchases · Premium subscriptions · Ad revenue · User insights licensing (ethical) Competition Phase Club vs. Club battles · Pay-to-vote · Sponsor deals · Streaming ad revenue · All-Star seasons · Festival touring Massive Scale Broadway / rock opera · Record label · Major sync deals · Celebrity collabs · Global franchise · AI voice licensing · Publishing royalties (ASCAP/BMI) Section VI The Team Needed Tom is the catalog and the strategy. What he needs is the execution layer: a partner who can build the team, manage the operations, and interface with the world Tom has not yet reached. What Tom Brings 29 years of material · 433 songs ready · Legal framework in place · Full website built · Strategy designed · Chain established · G to X range for every audience What the Partner Brings CEO-level organizational capacity · Contacts in music, venue, tech, or investment · Vision for the larger potential · Resources to fund the launch phase Section VII Why Now The site is built. The catalog is ready. The legal framework is live. The launch window is open. The only question is whether the right partner exists and whether they recognize what they are looking at. Tom has taken this as far as one person can. The catalog is 29 years old. The moment is now. Every month of delay is a month of compounding that does not happen — a month of covers, credits, and connections that do not get made. 433 songs. 34 albums. G to X. A licensing model designed to stay open. A chain that cannot be bought, closed, or captured. A strategy that required 29 years to build. The rest starts now. The Ask Tom Jensen is looking for a benefactor or business-minded partner who will: Provide a guaranteed weekly salary — enough to pay bills and focus full-time on this Provide basic health coverage Provide a sign-on bonus as a show of good faith Share in the revenue generated across all streams Bring contacts, organizational capacity, and vision to the launch (978) 595-3497 · collaborhythmtom@gmail.com · collabtunes.com

29 Yrs Writing 433 Songs 34 Albums 120 Recorded G–X Rating Stack A · Business Plan 25 Pages · ~35 Min Read Table of Contents Executive Summary The Artist — Full Profile The Catalog — 34 Albums in Full The Business Model Legal Framework & Lyric Use Certificate Revenue Streams — All Phases The Covering Songs Framework Verified Collaborators What This Has That Others Don't The Canonical Pitch Team & Partner Requirements Launch Timeline The Ask — Full Terms Executive Summary The Complete Case Collaborhythm / Collabtunes is a 29-year creative project that has produced 433 original songs across 34 albums — and a business strategy designed to make the catalog's free release the engine of its commercial success. The lyricist is Tom Jensen, 47, of Salem, MA. The catalog covers every emotional register from G to X. 120 songs are fully recorded. The remaining 313 exist as complete lyrics waiting for music and singers. A fully built 170-page website (collabtunes.com) houses everything: the catalog, the legal framework, the business plan, the reference guides, and the navigation tools. The strategy: release all 433 lyrics free with mandatory attribution. Let the chain compound. Let the commercial value be proven by market action. Then sell Album 35 — a bespoke commission — for serious money. In between: a live venue, a revenue-share app, streaming royalties, sync deals, competitions, and a community of contributors who all have a stake in what gets built. This document is the 25-page partner packet. It is written for a business-minded person who wants to understand the full architecture before deciding whether to step in. Section I The Artist — Full Profile Tom Jensen is a 47-year-old lyricist, poet, and founder of Collaborhythm / Collabtunes. He has been writing songs and poems since his early 20s — 29 years of continuous output, organized and documented across 34 albums. He is the creator of the Bisexual Anthem , a politically and culturally significant work in the catalog. He preserved and honored the music of Lady Weaver — a founding collaborator, vocalist, and primary muse who passed away — including her work across multiple songs in the Collaborhythm chain. He has collaborated with musicians in the United States (multiple), China (live performance with Bryan Magsayo), Denmark, and internationally. Every collaboration is verified. Every contributor is named. Every right is established. He built collabtunes.com largely on his own, with AI assistance, over months of sustained work. The site contains 170 pages of content including the full lyric catalog, 34 All-In-One collection pages, six origin story versions, business documents, legal documents, reference indexes, video content links, and navigation guides. He does not need to be famous. The model does not require it. What it requires is attribution — and attribution compounds without limit. Professional Identity Lyricist / Founder / Collaborhythm Creator · Salem, MA · (978) 595-3497 · collaborhythmtom@gmail.com · collabtunes.com Section II The Catalog — 34 Albums in Full The catalog is organized into two tiers: 10 Song Lists (thematic standalone collections) and 24 Set Lists (full-length concept albums). Together they constitute 34 albums and 433 songs. Song Lists 1–10: The Last Man Singing · Sheila Tequila · A Day at the Office · A Traveler in the Distance · Love Without a Doubt · Undertows and Afterglows · High Tides and Landslides · A Knight for a Lady · Between Us and Love · One Piece Missing. Set Lists 1–24: Glass Half Something · Plurality · Self in the Mirror · Partnered to the Crime · Living a la Mode · Definitely NOT Love · Train Off the Tracks · Boss Logic · Thralls of the Flame · Go Ask Gramm · Noise, Lies and Longing · Wounded Masculinity (Silhouettes of Pride) · Power Shields · 6,000KM to DK · Liminal State · Kneel, Heal and Rise · Smirks, Swears, Moans and Cries · Corrugation Row · Della of Troy · The Cost of Light · A Cold Plate · Inherent Absence · Zionation · Bi Ride or Die. Every album has a detailed thematic description, rating, trigger warning, mood analysis, Rolling Stone-style review, sentence-length summary, and four-word track descriptions — all available on collabtunes.com. The catalog is fully documented and navigable. G / PG — ~120 songs Five full albums of clean, family-safe material. Romantic, devotional, spiritual. Commercially safe for any platform, sponsor, or audience. PG-13 — ~200 songs The center of gravity. Addiction, politics, mental health, war, relationships. Serious craft and wide commercial range. R / X — ~113 songs Explicit personal narrative, dark themes, adult content. Clearly labeled. The filter that ensures only serious audiences stay. Section III The Business Model — Full Architecture The model is built on three sequential moves and five revenue phases. Each phase is designed to make the next phase more valuable. Move 1 — Free Catalog Release Release all 433 lyrics free with mandatory attribution. Non-exclusive licenses only. Mechanical royalties on lyrics waived. Musicians keep full rights to their own music. The chain grows with every use. The name compounds with every cover. Commercial value is proven by market action — not by the lyricist's claims. Move 2 — Live Venue + Community App Open a physical venue offering live collaborative songwriting. A live moderator relays online audience input to the stage. An app registers contributors, logs participation timestamps, and automates revenue sharing: 3–10% per song per verified contributor. Club vs. Club competition formats add competitive engagement and streaming revenue. Every session creates new music, new stakeholders, and new content. Move 3 — Album 35 (The Payday) After the catalog is globally ubiquitous and commercial value is demonstrated, announce that new lyrics will be exclusive and paid. Sell Album 35 — 10–12 songs written specifically for one client — for $500,000 or more. Exclusive first use only. All copyrights retained. The free catalog stays free forever. This is the bidding war. It is only possible because of everything that came before it. The three moves create a self-reinforcing loop: free catalog builds name, name builds venue audience, venue audience drives app engagement, app engagement creates contributors, contributors become advocates, advocates spread the catalog further. The loop is designed to accelerate without external advertising spend. Section IV Legal Framework & Lyric Use Certificate The Lyric Use Certificate is a 3–4 page legal document governing use of all Collaborhythm lyrics. It is live at collabtunes.com/terms. It is among the strongest operational documents in the catalog according to external review. The Certificate covers: (a) Contributor information; (b) Song titles used; (c) Type of contribution or use (12 categories including lyrics-only, cover, translation, parody, production-only, and full original version); (d) Optional open music opt-in; (e) Attribution agreement with full legal terms. All copyrights registered Non-exclusive licenses only — no corporate capture possible Mandatory attribution — 'Lyrics by Collaborhythm Collabtunes' Tom Jensen' Verified contributor chain — 120 musicians already in the system Neutral third-party dispute resolution Lyricist will never claim YouTube monetization on music others created Live performance covered by venue licensing Failure to attribute = permission revoked The legal structure is transparent, fair, and enforceable. It protects the lyricist, the musicians, and the contributors simultaneously. The attribution requirement is the enforcement mechanism — it is community-based, self-policing, and legally backed. Section V Revenue Streams — Full Phase Breakdown Revenue is organized into five phases corresponding to operational milestones. Earlier phases are already achievable. Later phases require investment, team, and platform growth. Phase 1 — Day One Admissions · Ticket sales · Café, bar, coffee, food · Lyric books · CDs · T-shirts, stickers, merch bundles · Donations and tips · Patreon (bonus content) · Subscription memberships · Co-creation credits (paid song slots) · Touring / pop-up shows Phase 2 — YouTube Launch Ad revenue from lyric videos, live streams, finished-song videos · Channel sponsorships · Streaming royalties (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) · 24-hour nonstop original programming · Social media ad deals and brand partnerships Phase 3 — App Launch In-app purchases · Premium subscriptions · Ad revenue from app traffic · User insight licensing (ethical, opt-in only) Phase 4 — Competition Phase Club vs. Club live battle tickets · Pay-to-vote premium access · Local brand sponsorships · Merch tied to winning teams/lyrics/cities · Competition song licensing · All-Star seasons across cities · Festival and touring versions Phase 5 — Massive Scale Broadway musical or rock opera development · Starting a record company · Major sync deals (film, TV, games, ads) · Celebrity collaborations and AI duets · Global franchise expansion · Publishing royalties through ASCAP/BMI · Digital lyric licensing (Genius, Musixmatch) · NFT releases and blockchain royalty splits Section VI The Covering Songs Framework — Legal Basis Covering songs is legally structured and well-understood in the music industry. Once a song has been officially released, anyone can cover it without asking the songwriter — this is the compulsory license under the Copyright Act of 1976. What Collaborhythm does is take that framework and improve on it deliberately. Rule 1: Once released, you can cover without permission. All 120 Collaborhythm songs are officially released. Permission is already granted for the remaining 313 lyrics in this document and at collabtunes.com. Rule 2: You must pay mechanical royalties to the songwriter. Tom waives this on lyrics. Musicians keep their own mechanical rights. Rule 3: You can extend, rework, translate, or build on any lyric — permission is granted in the License. Rule 4: Video sync: Tom will never claim monetization on music someone else created. Rule 5: Live performance is covered by venue licensing. Play anywhere. Rule 6: Attribution is mandatory. Strip a name from the chain and permission is revoked. This framework turns copyright law into a marketing engine. Every cover is legal. Every cover is free. Every cover requires attribution. Every attribution spreads the name. Section VII Verified Collaborators — The Chain The following musicians and vocalists have contributed to songs built from Tom's lyrics. Their rights are established. Their names are in the chain. This is not a plan waiting to be tested — it is already working. Lady Weaver — Vocalist / songwriter — primary muse and founding collaborator (deceased) Justin Justice — Musician / vocalist — co-writer on multiple songs including 'Fresco' Klaus Bluetner — Musician — international collaborator Tyler Thompson — Musician / vocalist Bryan Magsayo — Vocalist — performed live in China Lai Youttitham — Musician Rebekah Ann Curtis — Vocalist William Elmore — Musician Tiffany Anne — Vocalist Jon Jacobs — Musician Justin Osowiecki — Musician Big Suna — Musician Section VIII What This Project Has That Most Artists Don't 29 Years of Work Not a debut. Not a hope. A life's work. 433 songs. 34 albums. Documented, rated, and organized. Legal Framework Ready Lyric Use Certificate live. Terms clear. Attribution chain established. Copyrights registered. 120 Recorded Songs Proof of concept already demonstrated. 120 songs exist as finished recordings with verified musicians. Verified Contributor Chain 12 musicians already in the system. Rights established. Names documented. The chain is real. G to X Range Every rating, every audience, every market. Five clean albums alone are commercially viable without the rest. The Bisexual Anthem A culturally significant work with built-in community relevance and press potential. Album 35 Premium Strategy The payday is designed in. Not an afterthought. The entire free catalog is the setup for this punchline. Site Already Built 170 pages. Live. Functional. Documented. All that remains is the launch team and the funding. Section IX The Canonical Pitch Tony's Canonical Framing (external assessment) "I spent decades building a modern American songbook and gave it away to the world so that artists and fans could benefit. Along the way, I preserved the music of Lady Weaver and created a platform designed to help everyone involved succeed. If you want my next great work written specifically for you — that is Album 35." External assessment of this pitch: "That is a compelling and highly marketable story." The pitch works because it is true, it is specific, it is generous, and it has a clear commercial endpoint. The generosity of the first 34 albums creates the credibility and goodwill that make Album 35 extraordinarily valuable. The story sells itself once the catalog proves the quality. Section X Team & Partner Requirements Tom needs an operator. He is the catalog, the strategy, and the creative engine. He is not the CEO, the fundraiser, or the logistics manager. The right partner brings what he does not have: CEO / Operator Organizational capacity to build and manage a team. Can interface with venues, investors, press, and platform partners. Funding / Resources Capital for launch phase: venue rental / buildout, app development, initial staff, marketing. Contacts Music industry, venue management, tech development, investment, or entertainment law. Vision Understands that this is not a vanity project. This is a platform with structural advantages that compound over time. Section XI Launch Timeline Current status: Site built. Catalog documented. Legal framework live. Launch window open. Immediate: Partner secured. Salary and healthcare in place. Launch preparation begins. Phase 1: Venue identified and opened. App development begins. First live sessions. Phase 2: YouTube channel launched. Video content begins uploading. Streaming royalties begin. Phase 3: App live. Contributor registration active. Revenue sharing automated. Phase 4: Club vs. Club competition format launched. Multi-venue expansion begins. Phase 5: Album 35 announced. Bidding begins. The payday. The Ask — Full Terms Tom Jensen is seeking a benefactor or business-minded partner to help launch Collaborhythm / Collabtunes. Personal requirements: A guaranteed weekly salary — enough to pay bills and focus full-time on the work Basic health coverage A sign-on bonus as a show of good faith and seriousness A negotiated percentage of all revenue generated from this venture across all streams Business requirements: CEO-level organizational skills and the ability to build and manage a team Contacts in music, venue management, tech development, or investment Vision for the larger potential Resources to fund the launch phase Contact: (978) 595-3497 · collaborhythmtom@gmail.com · collabtunes.com

Strategic Business Plan & Project Overview

Tom Jensen — Lyricist / Founder

29 Years. ~495 Songs. G to X. A Strategy No One Else Is Running.

Version 19 — Working Draft

I. Project Overview

The Artist

Name: Tom Jensen

Years of Work: 29 years

Catalog: 34 collections (24 Set Lists + 10 Song Lists)

Total Songs: ~495 (120 recorded, ~375 awaiting music and voices)

Website: collabtunes.com

Notable Achievement: Creator of the Bisexual Anthem

The Work

A massive, multi-thematic body of work spanning nearly three decades. This is not a collection of songs. It is a life's work — a document of survival, evolution, grief, rage, tenderness, addiction, recovery, love, loss, politics, parody, and the relentless pursuit of truth through rhyme. The catalog spans G to X:

Tender romance and devotion (G/PG)

Addiction narratives and recovery (PG-13)

Political critique — genocide, state violence, imperialism (PG-13/R)

Explicit sexual content and transgressive satire (R/X)

Spiritual reflection and existential philosophy (G/PG)

Social commentary and class critique (PG-13)

War trauma and survivor's guilt (PG-13)

Mental health, depression, suicide narratives (PG-13/R)

Parody and humor (R/X)

Key Collaborators

The following musicians and vocalists have already contributed to songs built from these lyrics. Their names are in the chain. Their rights are already established. This is not a plan waiting to be tested. It is already working.

Lady Weaver — Vocalist / songwriter — primary muse and founding collaborator (deceased)

Justin Justice — Musician / vocalist — co-writer on multiple songs including 'Fresco'

Klaus Bluetner — Musician — international collaborator

Tyler Thompson — Musician / vocalist

Bryan Magsayo — Vocalist — performed live in China

Lai Youttitham — Musician

Rebekah Ann Curtis — Vocalist

William Elmore — Musician

Tiffany Anne — Vocalist

Jon Jacobs — Musician

Justin Osowiecki — Musician

Big Suna — Musician

Sandy, Lynette, and others — Vocalists and contributors

120 songs have been completed and released using this model. Every contributor is verified. The chain already exists. Anyone who builds on these songs is building on a foundation that already has proof of concept.

II. The Rating System

The catalog is rated G through X. This is not a marketing gimmick — it is a navigation tool. Every collection is preceded by a detailed trigger warning. The rating system allows musicians, audiences, and collaborators to find exactly what they are looking for without wading through content they did not want.

G — Inoffensive / Loving. Safe for all ages. Wholesome, spiritual, or universally positive themes. No profanity, no sexual content, no violence.

PG — Mild themes. Rare mild profanity ('hell,' 'damn'), romantic themes without explicit detail, no drug glorification.

PG-13 — Moderate explicit content. Frequent mild profanity or occasional strong profanity, implied sexual situations, drug/alcohol references with anti-messaging, serious themes handled with artistic intent.

R — Strong explicit content. First-person narrator committing crimes, explicit sexual content, shock with artistic framing.

X — Hardcore. Pornographic intent, degradation as primary purpose, shock without artistic framing.

Catalog Breakdown by Song Count

G / PG — ~25% — ~120 songs

PG-13 — ~40% — ~200 songs

R — ~25% — ~125 songs

X — ~10% — ~50 songs

TOTAL — 100% — ~495 songs

Key Insight: The center of gravity is PG-13 — serious themes, real craft, artistic intent. The G/PG material (~120 songs across 5 entire clean collections) is the foundation of tenderness and trust-building. The R material is significant and intentional. The X material (~50 songs) is a small but strategic edge that filters audiences and establishes that this project does not play by industry rules.

III. G/PG Collections — The Foundation

There are entire collections that are G or PG throughout. These are not isolated clean songs buried in otherwise explicit albums. These are complete collections of tenderness, devotion, romance, and spiritual depth. They prove the range of the catalog and serve as the entry point for audiences who need to trust the work before they are ready for the edge.

Set List 14 — Lady Weaver trilogy — healing, romance, spirituality — pure heart

Set List 19 — Lady Weaver trilogy — romance, devotion, nostalgia — tender

Song List 5 — Lady Weaver trilogy — hopeful romance — warm, accessible

Song List 8 — Devotion, purpose — inspiring

Song List 9 — Spiritual, connection — meditative

These 5 collections alone represent approximately 60 songs that are clean entry points for any audience. An additional ~60 G/PG songs appear throughout other collections, bringing the total to approximately 120 G/PG songs.

The first three G/PG collections — Set List 14, Set List 19, and Song List 5 — were written specifically about and for Lady Weaver, the vocalist and collaborator who passed away from cancer. They are a memorial to her. They are the most tender work in the catalog. They are where the project begins.

IV. Artistic Philosophy: The Anti-Disney / Reverse Mossad Strategy

The Disney Model — What This Project Undoes

The music industry has a well-worn playbook for managing artists. It is designed to extract maximum profit while leaving the artist exposed, controlled, and ultimately disposable.

1. Create innocent, polished, marketable child star.

2. Audience falls in love with the innocence.

3. Child star breaks free and becomes hypersexual or provocative.

4. Media feasts on the corruption narrative.

5. Profit from the whiplash.

The dynamic: Lure with innocence. Betray it. Profit from the fallout. The artist is a product. The audience is the mark.

The Reverse Strategy — What This Project Does Instead

This project inverts the entire playbook. It leads with the edge, not the innocence. The filter comes first. The reward comes after. No one gets betrayed because no one was lied to.

1. Lead with the hardcore, the explicit, the transgressive. Filter hard.

2. Audience who stays has already proven they can handle the full range.

3. Reveal the beauty, tenderness, real craft, and serious political critique.

4. No one feels manipulated because the truth was always on the first page.

The dynamic: Filter first. Reward the survivors with depth. They earned access to the real work.

V. The 8 Mile Strategy — Pre-Empting Every Attack

In 8 Mile, Eminem's character Rabbit lists every insult his opponent could use against him before the opponent can say it. This catalog applies the same strategy. Every possible attack has already been pre-empted by the work itself.

'You're a pornographer' — The work went further than anyone would accuse.

'You're a radical' — The politically controversial content was written first, loudest.

'You're unstable' — The darkest material is on the page, owned completely.

'You're a bisexual slut' — The Bisexual Anthem was written. The sexuality is owned on the creator's terms.

'You're an asshole who doesn't collaborate' — Every musician in the world is invited to turn these 34 albums into their 34 albums.

'You're a hypocrite' — The catalog has loving G songs and hardcore X songs. Both are real. Both are owned.

The catalog is the defense. Everything that could be used as an attack is already inside the work, acknowledged louder and with more craft than any critic could deploy it.

VI. The Business Model — Two-Track Release

The business model has two primary tracks that work together and reinforce each other. Track 1 builds name recognition and proves commercial value. Track 2 turns that recognition into a sustainable revenue ecosystem and community. Both tracks feed into a third phase: the payday.

Track 1 — Free Lyric Licensing

All lyrics are made available for free use with one mandatory condition: attribution. Every use of any lyric by any musician, anywhere in the world, for any purpose, must credit: Lyrics by Collaborhythm Collabtunes' Tom Jensen.

This is not charity. This is strategy. Every version, every cover, every performance becomes an advertisement for the catalog.

What: License all ~495 lyrics for free use permanently.

Condition: Mandatory attribution on every use.

Terms: Non-exclusive only.

Commercial Use: Tracked. Musicians may profit from their versions.

Goal: Name ubiquity.

Scale: Cover of a cover of a cover — the chain compounds indefinitely.

Track 2 — Live Interactive Shows + Revenue-Share App

This is the physical and digital infrastructure layer. Live shows where musicians and audience members co-create songs in real time. An app that tracks who contributes what. Revenue sharing that turns passive listeners into active stakeholders.

Physical Venue: A bar, coffeehouse, or flexible space near public transportation where music is made live.

Online Component: A live moderator relays online audience input directly to performers on stage.

The App: Registers users, logs every contribution, and tracks timestamps as proof.

Revenue Share: Contributors get 3-10% of song revenue depending on contribution size.

Goal: Turn passive listeners into active collaborators.

The lottery ticket concept: Each of the ~495 songs is a lottery ticket that has not yet been scratched. The physical venue is the place where people come to scratch them.

The Covering Songs Framework — Legal Foundation

Rule 1: You can cover a song without permission once it has been officially released. All 120 existing songs are officially released.

Rule 2: You must pay mechanical royalties to the songwriter. The lyricist waives royalty collection on lyrics. Attribution is the cost of use.

Rule 3: You cannot change the song too much without permission. Permission to extend, rework, translate, or build on any lyric is granted in the license itself.

Rule 4: Video requires extra licenses. The lyricist will never claim monetization on a video that uses the lyrics with music someone else created.

Rule 5: Live performances are usually covered by venue licensing. Play these songs anywhere.

Rule 6: You cannot strip names from the chain. Strip a name from the chain and you lose permission to use the lyrics.

VII. The Payday — What Happens After the Catalog Is Free

The free catalog is the engine. The payday is the destination it builds toward. Once the name is ubiquitous, once thousands of versions exist across every platform, once the commercial value of the lyrics has been demonstrated by the market itself — the calculus changes for new work.

1. Free catalog builds the name.

2. Demand for new work skyrockets.

3. Announce that new lyrics will be exclusive and paid.

4. Artists, labels, and publishers come to the table.

5. Sell a new album of 10-12 songs for $500k or more. Exclusive first use only. Writer credit is always retained.

What is actually being sold: exclusive first use of new work backed by 29 years of proven material and a name that is already everywhere.

VIII. Legal and Business Protections

Every component of this model has been designed with legal protection in mind. The goal is a structure that cannot be bought, captured, or closed by any corporate entity.

Use non-exclusive licenses only.

Require mandatory attribution.

Use a terms of use agreement.

Track contributions through the app.

Maintain a verified contributor chain.

Use neutral third-party dispute resolution.

Rely on community enforcement.

Creator retains all rights.

Corporate capture is structurally blocked.

IX. What This Project Has That Most Artists Don't

29 years of work.

120 recorded songs already released.

Verified contributor chain.

G/PG foundation of approximately 120 songs.

A clear artistic identity.

A proven release strategy.

Legal structure in place.

Range across all ratings.

The Bisexual Anthem.

The 8 Mile defense.

A complete emotional arc.

X. The Emotional Arc — The Weight and the Why

29 years of writing. Starting at 16 on a bathroom wall. Continuing through every job, every city, every relationship, every loss.

Hearing Bob Dylan's 'Like a Rolling Stone' at 17 in the car with his father, driving to the laundromat in Danversport. Knowing in that moment what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.

10,000 YouTube subscribers. 120 songs made with musicians from around the world. A working model. Then stopping. Deleting the channels. Losing the passion.

Lady Weaver — the female John Lennon. The greatest singer he ever heard. Three years of messages, emails, Skype calls, phone calls. Going there for three months. It not working out. Coming back crushed.

15 years of being a dented can. Not making music. Not connecting. Just writing, refining, waiting.

An email from Lady Weaver's mother. She had died of cancer. She left behind a fiancé, a son, and young babies.

Coming back. Healing. Set List 22, 23, 24 — made in the last two years. Two of the definitive works. The cave finally opening.

The creator is not afraid. He has been strategic — even during the years when it did not look like strategy. The 15-year pause stopped him from releasing work before it was ready.

The catalog is not just 495 songs. It is a life that got shaped, compressed, and poured into words. And now it is ready to go.

XI. What Is Needed Now — A Call to Partners

The creator has taken this as far as one person with a pen, a notebook, and a phone can go. The catalog is done. The strategy is clear. The model is designed. What is missing is the team, the space, and the resources to launch.

The Personal Ask

A guaranteed weekly salary — enough to pay bills and focus on the work.

Basic health coverage.

A sign-on bonus as a show of good faith and seriousness.

A percentage of revenue generated from this venture across all streams.

The creator does not need to be famous. He does not need to be the frontman. He is better behind the scenes — making songs, generating ideas, serving as the strategic voice on key decisions.

What a Business Partner Brings

CEO-level organizational skills and the ability to build and manage a team.

Contacts in music, venue management, tech development, or investment.

Vision for the larger potential.

Resources to fund the launch phase.

The Physical Space

Flexible — capable of hosting live music creation, not just performance.

Hospitable — able to sell food, drinks, merch, and the experience itself.

Accessible — near public transportation.

Wired for streaming — so the online audience can participate in real time.

What This Gives Back to Artists

Ownership of what they make. Always.

Credit that travels with the work. Forever.

A share of revenue that cannot be legally stripped from them.

A dispute process that does not require a label deal or a retainer.

A community with a stake in protecting their contribution.

A system where the person who actually makes something is the person who gets paid for it.

XII. Summary — The Three Moves

1. Free Catalog Release

~495 lyrics released free with mandatory attribution. Non-exclusive. Permanent. Cover of a cover of a cover — the chain compounds. This builds name ubiquity and proves commercial value through market action.

2. Community App + Live Shows

Physical venue + online stream. Real-time song creation. App tracks contributions. Contributors get 3-10% of revenue auto-split. This turns passive listeners into active stakeholders.

3. The Payday

New exclusive album of 10-12 songs sold for $500k+. Exclusive first use only. All copyrights retained. Free catalog remains free forever. This monetizes the demand created by the first two moves.

This is the playbook. 29 years. ~495 songs. G to X. A licensing model designed to stay open. A chain that cannot be bought, closed, or captured. A strategy that no one else is running — because it required 29 years to build the catalog that makes it possible.

When you are ready, it is yours to drop.
