Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 11th March: from midday on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch318

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

ALICE BOMAN - Waiting (PAL remix)

I saw your face
I could illustrate that smile from memory
I saw your eyes
With their kindness blind
I felt your warmth in my hands

I could’ve sworn you were fabricated
My imaginary friend
I could’ve sworn you were fabricated
A character I made up for my health

But here you are
Here you are

I heard your voice in a glass roofed dock
and stopped and stared for a while 
Have I known you from some place before?
Another realm, another life cycle?


I could’ve sworn you were fabricated
My imaginary friend
I could’ve sworn you were fabricated
A character I made up for my health

But here you are
Here you are

You’re standing right in front of me 
Saying everything I want to hear 
I so badly want to believe in you
Sitting straight across from me 
Saying everything I want to hear 
I need to believe in you 

‘Cause here you are
Here you are 

Someone’s watching over me
Looking out for me beyond belief
Am I as lucky as one can be?
Making fantasies reality 

Here you are
Here you are
Here you are
Here you are

Here You Are

It's your fault
What you did to me
And all the shit that happened after that
In the aftermath
Manipulated, my legs were coiled on the ropes that we swung on as kids
I couldn't break free

So, I lied to hide the twisted truth
I attacked to defend my youth

(Walk alone through a pitch black year)
I was nineteen before I found my feet
(Walk alone to find your feet)
I walked alone

I lost two best friends that night
Such a storm of terrible decisions 
Pulled the rug from under my heart 
On a park bench swallowed by stars
The same song, 12 hours on repeat

Say what you need to say
But it would always have been too late

(Walk alone through a pitch black year)
I was nineteen before I found my feet
(Walk alone to find your feet)
I walked alone
(Walk alone through a pitch black year)
I was nineteen before I found my feet
(Walk alone to find your feet)
I walked alone

My body was your ammo
But our lips never touched
My body was your ammo
But our lips never touched

Would you believe it?
If I told you the truth?
You didn't know my strength
When you killed it.

Walk Alone

Give Me A Little More Time (Gabrielle Cover)

A song for Jamie.

"About Love"
This is just too sad
It’s best not to talk about it
Unimaginable,
No words can really capture it

I’ll do one like you would do
I’ll try to

You were singing about love
Always singing about love
You were singing about love
Always singing about love

There’s a feeling I can’t shake
Like you’re writing this instead of me
You’d want it to sound happier 
I’m trying 

To do one like you used to
But it won’t come as naturally 

You were singing about love
Always singing about love
You were singing about love
Always singing about love

If you can, I hope you hear this
It won’t bring or give you any justice
But I’m at a loss of what to do

I’ll keep singing about love
Always singing about love for you
I’ll keep singing about love 
Always singing about love for you
I’ll keep singing about love 
Always singing about love
I’ll keep singing about love 
Always singing about love

About Love

At the bottom of the pile
Not the first, won't be the last time
I’ve forgotten what was mine,
Taken you for granted
When I flourish
You fade

I cherish those moments
Cannot strip those away

Don’t let me fall out your mind
Don’t let me fall out your mind 
Don’t let me fall out your mind
Don’t let me fall out your mind 

Seems I have been ostracized 
When the company expects, I shrink
Cast in your shade
You used to be fascinated 
I am still enchanting 

I cherish those moments
Cannot strip those away

Don’t let me fall out your mind
Don’t let me fall out your mind 
Don’t let me fall out your mind
Don’t let me fall out your mind 

Can you handle every version 
Can I accept what I’ve become

Don’t let me fall out your mind
Don’t let me fall out your mind 
Don’t let me fall out your mind
Don’t let me fall out your mind

A beautiful track fusing together blues, soul, funk and acid Jazz with Emma's raw and soulful vocals with pure delicate tones leaves the listener well and truly blissed.  Emma says 'I wrote this song at a very challenging but magical time of my life.  The lyrics came to me so clearly and they represented a life i was longing for at the time.  It bought good fortune as I met my partner because of this song who helped me craft it. It never ceases to lift my spirits when i hear it.  This song helped me fall in love with life. I hope it does the same for you' Written by Emma Linney with support from Jonathan Bannister.  Vocals: Emma Linney, Drums: Nick Whitcher, guitar: Matt Smith, Bass: Jonathan Bannister. Produced by Ryan Pinson.

Citrus Kisses

'Less Alone' is a melancholic tale of returning home to Yorkshire after 18 months travelling abroad and trying to adapt back to the life she had before her adventures. After her thriving success with debut EP 'Elusive Yusef' (‘leftfield pop and soul’), Clare Kelly’s new material delves even deeper and delivers raw and gritty memories of the past. 

LESS ALONE
Take me back over limitless oceans
My vision was clear over the deep blue
Take me back to New York
Without him there, I'd have been in my element

And I was less alone
Surrounded by no one I know
It seems strange, I know
It seems strange, I know

What are we doing here?
We grind our minds, just to make something of this life
Well, what is it that's in a career?
A nine to five
I don't know what I'm doing here
Take me back California
I loved and lost, at no cost

I was less alone
Surrounded by no one I know
It seems strange, I know
It seems strange, I know

I'm with the fishes in Fiji
I'm in a bar in Sydney
I'm on a mountain top on a motorbike 
I'm not here

I am here
I am here
I am here
I am here

I was less alone 
Surrounded by no one I know.
