Cheers Elina, thank you so much for listening ☀️

Sounds like it could have been penned by Gary Lightbody. Much enjoyed.

what a beautiful emotive song.  heartfelt vocal.  lovely pop song.

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 30th November: 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/batch388

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Christmas tracks are set aside for our annual Christmas track roundup playlist which will be posted on Christmas week.

Just Human After All

Written by G.K. Gavan "The Galway Poet" for the English music hall performer Harry Clifton in the 19th century, Rocky Road to Dublin is a 9/8 slip jig. Time has changed the lyrics and has abbreviated the verses. It is now a standard for many Irish bands and performers. This is my own arrangement with percussion played on the face of the guitar.

Engineering and Mastering: John Lawrence, Nant Y Benglong

Rocky Road To Dublin

A rough mix from my recent studio session at Blue Moon Studios, near Banbury. This is Hi the Cuckoo, a song about transformation and rebirth.

Mountains And Sea

Foreign Fields  

Word is you've gone missing, another sketchy plan
Clothes that you were wearing, cash you had on hand
You've left behind a lover to try and understand  
Why you'd trade love for a foreign land.

Chorus 
Now you're out walking in foreign fields
Forsaking loyal lovers with missionary zeal  
Your guardian angel making sure your heart is safe and sealed
From the heartaches in those foreign fields

You like the anonymity of foreign fields
Foreign eyes aren't trained to see the sins that you conceal
You're drawn to other wanderers and how they make you feel
When you lay down in your foreign fields

Chorus 
You've been out walking in foreign fields
Searching the horizon with missionary zeal 
Your guardian angel making sure your heart is safe and sealed
From the heartaches in those foreign fields

You're somewhere in Antalya now, penniless again
The truth is out about you, and yet you still pretend
To hold all of the high cards when all that's in your hand
Is a heartache from a foreign land

Chorus 
You've been out walking in foreign fields
Searching for the answers with missionary zeal 
But it's your guardian angel missing now   and the vacancy reveals	
Just a foreigner in foreign fields
Your just a foreigner in foreign fields

Foreign Fields
