Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 18 May: from around 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/batch366

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 will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 366

At some point, a long time ago, I gave up on creating a "new" musical language. It was still possible, in the late nineteen eighties and early nineties when I came of age, for me to see music as a linear progression. In my early twenties I would compose pieces that I thought of as new jazz. Of course they weren't. Just very individual songs in older styles with some ideas for other styles. A dash of Duke Ellington arraignment, a snippet of Monk perhaps a teaspoon of Syd Barrett mixed with some rock and roll harmony. Eventually, after a long pause in playing at all, I came to make music, I see as, more in line with the pop artists like Warhol and, especially Lichtenstein. My own musical ideas are still there but slyly inserted into pieces that are consciously, imprecisely, modeled on other works or styles. Anyway I went to see the new version of West Side Story with my wife the other day. The original show made right before that "pop" era. It was so sincere. No irony with an honest attempt to bring musical theater "forward". I so enjoyed it even if it's a bit middle brow Americana. I'm writing this description in hopes of being equally sincere. The melody borrows a bit of "Somewhere" as a tip of the hat. I hope. My big musical ideas, besides that, are as follows. The key may sound a bit vague at times but floats between B major, E major and A major so that classic one four five, if somewhat buried. the time signature changes a few times, briefly, and syncopates when it doesn't. There's the Syd Barrett influence for those keeping score. There's also some willful changes from major to minor in the harmony that are classic rock ideas. Even if, in this context, they eventually become key changes. Well that's enough sincerity. Oh except for the photo. It's Miss Place. My wife maiden name and me back when I would have written something like this. ;)

The List

I got a trowel
And I got a towel
I got a lisp that means I struggle around my vowels
I know that…
I got some CDs
I've had two babies
I've got a dog and he ain’t ever contracted rabies 
So,

You may say that the worst is yet to come
That it’s a bomb every time that you hear a hum
If there’s a ticking, then it’s the ebbing of your life

I got a disease
And I’ve got two knees 
I’ve got a nose that makes a huge noise when I sneeze
you know?
I’ve got a garden
Sometimes a hard-on
I’ve got some habits, mean, I’m always saying pardon
I’ve got toothpaste 
a bin for the waste
I got chocolate cos I can’t get enough of the taste 

You ask for something
Please give you something 
Well boy you know here’s something you missed
Through all the pain
Oh I feel your pain
But boy I’m gonna write you a list
Yeah, boy, I’m going to write you a list 

But you say our time is near its end
When there’s a corner you say it’s too sharp a bend
You need to know it’s nothing you should fear.

I got a cock
And I gotta sock
I gotta nice mantelpiece with candles and a clock
I gotta cool sofa
I used to have a loafer 
I got a puppet that I think is Gordon the Gopher
I got a new phone
And I got a loan
I got a wife who never misses a chance moan
Well

You may say that our dreams are not enough
And the world will be kindest on the tough
But then you’d miss the beauty right under your nose

I'D REALLY LIKE TO MEET YOU MAN - Moonlight Parade

Into The Room

In My Prime was written and produced in lockdown, and reflects the frustration that many of us feel in not doing all the things we’d planned to do with our free time. But it’s also about being a twenty-something seeing those around you do great things while you’re stuck doing the same old same old, struggling to move forward with all the ambitions and plans you hoped to achieve long before now.

In My Prime

You can never see the sun
You can never see the days
You can never find a way of letting go
That's another day to waste
As the sun begins to fade
I've gotta find a way to let this go from me

Like a wrecking ball
I'm gonna lose it all
Until there's nothing in sight
I need a wake-up call
Or I lose it all
Until I've nothing inside

Let's start over just save me
I know that lately I've kept you waiting
Know that I can't stop wishing that maybe 
I could be changing
It's driving me crazy

Well I'm surrounded by the darkness
Not a hope or glimpse of light
With little voices saying 'you should disappear'
But I pretend that I can't hear them
I will never let them win
I've gotta find something to change the way I live

Like a wrecking ball
I'm gonna lose it all
Until there's nothing in sight
I need a wake-up call
Or I lose it all
Until I've nothing inside

Let's start over just save me
I know that lately I've kept you waiting
Know that I can't stop wishing that maybe 
I could be changing
It's driving me crazy

It's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy

Just Save Me
Just Save Me

Let's start over just save me
I know that lately I've kept you waiting
Know that I can't stop wishing that maybe 
I could be changing
It's driving me crazy

Let's start over just save me
I know that lately I've kept you waiting
Know that I can't stop wishing that maybe 
I could be changing
It's driving me crazy

It's driving me crazy (Just Save Me)
It's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy (Just Save Me)
It's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy (Just Save Me)
It's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy (Just Save Me)
It's driving me crazy

It's driving me crazy
Crazy crazy crazy crazy

Let's Start Over (SilverFox Remix)

Let's start Over (Remix)

Seun says of the track: 'The lyrics are literally 3am thoughts. A stream of ideas about the way things work and how we feel about them. At the end, you have to decide what truly matters to you, and the final words express this.'

This world is not what you think it is.
These towers of steel and glass that we as human beings use to impose order on nature, on ourselves,
they are a hollow beauty, empty desire, not fecund,
a testament to our impotence.
You clean, you wash, you fit a social straight-jacket over your tiny shoulders,
a harness on which to yoke the weight of the world.
You smile, you walk down these moving metal stairs into these concrete tombs,
rat-like tunnels that connect one soulless suburb to another.
You weep, in the privacy of your own home,
curtains drawn against the light that burns an illuminated soul.

When you die, the money that you amassed will be wasted 
on government taxes and luxury items by your ungrateful spawn.
When you die, the kids that you abandoned and spouse that you rejected 
will mourn the loss of what could have been.
Your son will never visit your grave, will never tell stories about his old man, 
about learning to swim, or riding a bike. Because you were not there.

My old man lived his life the best he could.
Made good friends, even better enemies.
He wasn’t perfect. At times he was barely good.
But he never told me a lie. 
His truths? They hurt, scar tissue around the soul that healed,
and made a stronger spirit.
He had my trust, respect, loyalty.
And if he asked, I would march to hell with a bucket of water, in my birthday suit
trusting that he had a good reason.
trusting that he had a good reason.
