Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 25th September: from Friday afternoon 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/batch502

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. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 502

Брэктроут

2025 - 2

November is a song of appreciation of this much maligned month. A song of embracing the melancholy and grey days, lighting candles to light our way into the cold darkness of winter. The longing for summers past, but the inevitable trajectory into the future.

The song is in its essence a painting of November, with its moodswings and tumultous nature.

Thanks for listening.

Ahoy! Side B

November

Starlight

Inspired by those who may have been described as ‘spirited’ or ‘lively’ as children! Halfway There is a song of unconditional love and is close to Ellie’s heart.

Lyrics~

dont you hear my angels callin?
girl don’t take my heart away
i feel like we due something big
so is it you or I?
off a script i’m poppin 539s
until i’m dozing off
she call my phone
i bag the hoe
she dancing like an animal
2x

i feel like im taking off
but this time there’s gone b a cost
maybe whatchu needed was someone
who always say he wrong
u just want somebody u could push around
and so do i
baby ima player from the stars
they say im borderline

cannot say im manic tho
did i miss my antidote?
stuck in this lil episode
doctors say im handsome tho
fuck it ima cannibal
i treat these beats like hannibal
psychedelic dreams
i’m off a thizz, my money indigo

i’m sauced up
baby do you get the picture?
he washed up
we all play wit different figures
i bossed up
colored money, fancy dinners
a tom tux
perfect way to hide a sinner

dont you hear my angels callin?
girl don’t take my heart away
i feel like we due something big
so is it you or I?
off a script i’m poppin 539s
until i’m dozing off
she call my phone
i bag the hoe
she dancing like an animal
2x

I tried and tried
You lied again
Last piece had of me died again
Most of these remedies I never did
Talk to myself because life is a bitch
Sit the on the curb and I think about how could this happen to me which
Way should I be taking thats good for me
But smoke in the mirrors is all I see

I admit it shit was unexpected who gives a fuck
Im the only one who end up on that bed when time is up
Me, myself, and I thats everything that I will ever trust
Detached from the fucking facts adjusting yeah I had enough

Blinded by the lies
Love at first sight
Covered all the signs
And part of my mind
Thought about giving it time
And giving it time to change
Yeah that was a waste
You stuck in yo ways
The end of the day
And nothing will change
U bounded by faith
U thinking u right
You outta yo mind
Im wishing you well and hoping you fine

Angels been calling my name
The end of the day my body breakdown
Start a decay inside of my grave
Unsettling images I potray inside of yo brain

Time ticking got me going insane
Blackout got me skipping the day
All red I guess Im seeing the way
Got me fucked up I cannot be saved

dont you hear my angels callin?
girl don’t take my heart away
i feel like we due something big
so is it you or I?
off a script i’m poppin 539s
until i’m dozing off
she call my phone
i bag the hoe
she dancing like an animal
2x

Lyrics:

Here I go again
Every now and then I need a way to decompress
Desensitised, every time I feel a little less
Searching for a new sensation so I do it in excess
Guess I never learned my lesson, it's hard to admit 
Old coping mechanisms I'm trying to resist
Weighing heavy on my conscience I should probably quit
But right now it's the only thing that's taking me away from it

Fix me for today
I'll pay for it tomorrow 
Consequences of my actions are a bitter pill to swallow 
With a half empty glass, knock it back until I'm hollow
Probably best you don't follow

Running from my problems, I never needed a
chaser
Wake up in the afternoon and wonder where the day went
I'm not doing well and you can tell from my behaviour
I know that I should ask for help but that's not in my nature, nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature

Over and over again
Can't break the habit, no matter the damage I know that I'll only regret
Goes hand in hand with helping me manage the memories I wanna forget
Never gets easier, seems like the further I come, the harder it gets
Always appealing when I'm at my lowest, I know that it does me no good
Mistaking the feeling for something that's real, never stop when I know that I should
Cause I never learn, I'm far too concerned with escaping until I feel numb
I know in the morning I'm gonna be wishing to take it all back if I could

Fix me for today
I'll pay for it tomorrow 
Consequences of my actions are a bitter pill to swallow 
With a half empty glass, knock it back, until I'm hollow
Probably best you don't follow

Running from my problems I never needed a
chaser
Wake up in the afternoon and wonder where the day went
I'm not doing well and you can tell from my behaviour
I know that I should ask for help but that's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
