Hi, I have a question about rights for music.
I would like to take some songs and still keep the original lyrics but arrange the melodies and harmonies to a more upbeat pop/rock feel. I'm pretty sure you can't do this without special permission or something...? And if so how would I get around this? IS there a specific place to ask or is there something I can do like change the words a little too so it could kind of be considered a 'different' song?

Thanks!

Definitely write to company that owns the rights of whatever song you plan on remixing. Don't mess around with rights, they can cause you a lot of trouble.
