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 19th September 2022: 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/batch459

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 459

Second single from my new album'Something Good Will Come'.
Out on 21/02/2022

A Little Bit Hurt

i don't need a lobster

"Disappear" by Palma Louca

Palma Louca: www.facebook.com/PalmaLoucaMusic

Lyrics:
Thrones, were always made for the chosen,
The kid was born to be golden, now, his heart's made of stone. 
Homes, were never made to be broken,
It's not the life he was hoping for, he's never felt so alone.

And he's building a wall now, of insecurities, he's not the sweet kid that he used to be, he doesn't care anymore.
And he's taking it all now, it helps him with his poetry, spending his days in a woken sleep, he paints his words on the floor.

When it feels likes, there's no meaning, he takes a second to remind himself that he's still got you. 
It's a steel spike, then it feels like, it's all going to disappear. 

There's nothing left that he owns, 
His pockets are empty, he used to think he'd be wealthy now, but he couldn't have known. 
That'd he'd taken it all, now,
He needs it more than food to eat, he needs it every night so he can sleep, he makes his bed on the floor. 

When it feels likes, there's no meaning, he takes a second to remind himself that he's still got you. 
It's a steel spike, then it feels like, it's all going to disappear. 

If it don't make a dollar then it don't make sense,
Live by the mantra 'til you've got no friends,
Live by the mantra 'til you're almost dead,
Live by the mantra 'til it all turns red.

And it seems like he's trying not to lose his mind, now, it feels like he's dying, he just needs a sign in here.

If it don't take you higher then it don't make sense,
Live by the mantra 'til you've got no friends,
Live by the mantra 'til you're almost dead,
Live by the mantra 'til it all turns red.

Now he's feeling so tired that he lying down and he needs peace and quiet so don't make a sound in here.

Life Is Such A Beautiful Thing

Born in the basement of our shop front converted flat 477 AKA BEACH HQ, Zebras Flying is a freshly baked loaf of indie rock served up from our gentle hands to your kind earmouths. It is as direct as it is abstract, as simple as it is nonsensical and above all, the sound of two friends rocking out in their living room and singing about zebras flying and geese turning into handheld devices. Finished last week and released this week, this track has something for the whole family to enjoy! Preach the Beach xxx

Zebras Flying Across The Beach

I Like People (Demo)

DREAMS THAT YOU DISCARDED

LYRICS:
Once upon another age
We were shadows on the wall
Write our story on the page
Cite the cruelty of it all

I had nothing but my name
When you met me in the hall
Your face burning like a flame
My heart learning how to fall

I've seen your fear
Love could prevail
But I dream too, dear
We both are frail

You'll find me dancing in the demimonde
I cast my heart upon the sea
You told me love would always carry on
But love is not enough for me

Foolishly, we were enthralled
Everything began to gleam
All this haste to see me fall
Would you waste another scene

Wretched hours of the night
They belong to us alone
I won't plead to make this right
We don't need to make it home

I know your fear
Love could prevail
I'll show you, here
We both are frail

I have seen the light again
It faded in your eyes
If you stay until the end
Then I will keep your lies

And the crystal that you shatter
Would shine brightly in a ring
Could you tell me that I matter
Even after everything

You'll find me dancing in the demimonde
I cast my heart upon the sea
Then told my lover he could sail upon
The tide that turns away from me

What is left to fill your cup
Bittersweet this shade of green
Take your grief and drink it up
Find relief there in a dream

If I pass you in the street
Or you see me on the stage
Lay your flowers at my feet
Press our hours in a page

I've seen your fear
Love could prevail
But I dream too, dear
We both are frail

When we were dancers in the demimonde
There was a moment I was free
Now I wonder at the days long gone
And if you still remember me

I will be dancing in the demimonde
Until the night falls on the sea
Without an answer I will carry on
Some things are never meant to be

NOTES:
Demimonde:
French, literally ‘half-world’. (in 19th-century France)
The class of women considered to be of doubtful morality and social standing. A group of people considered to be on the fringes of respectable society.

Alexandre Dumas coined.
He wrote La Dame aux Camélias, (the basis for the movie Moulin Rouge)inspired by Marie Duplessis.

They also talk about the demimonde in Penny Dreadful (the tv show that quotes poetry). 

Anyway this song has a whole narrative thing happening. 
I might post that on my blog when I actually post my blog.

Personal Notes:  I read a biography about Marie Duplessis and she's just kind of a relatable person in some ways.
