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 9th October: 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/batch504

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.

released for World Mental Health Day

written when I was at my lowest
released when I'm at the best I've been in as long as I can remember

mental health is a universal human right.
there is strength in vulnerability.
there is always someone to talk to.
you are worth talking about.

The Meaning

Like it or Not

We Used to Talk

Faint Line - Dorothy

Hospital Hat(e)

The original lyrical inspiration for 'The Weight' came from an old Public Information Film from 1975 that I remember watching as a child. It was produced to try and encourage children to brush their teeth with a hippopotamus talking to a tiger about Jeremy the lion who has a roaring toothache...

The Weight

Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy fears his heart may burst and break
Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy’s tired from carrying all of the weight

Jeremy dreams of a starlit sky
Jeremy sits and ponders the question: Why?
Pretends to his friends he has wings to enable him to fly
But crashes to the ground in a head spun nosedive

Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy fears his heart may burst and break
Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy’s tired from carrying all of the weight

Written, Produced and Mixed by Pete Guy.
