really didn't expect that flute. it actually fits well!

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 6th May. 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/batch528

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Pluto

The M.E Scandal
I’m about to tell a story, a true story
I was Living life, music in my bloodstream
Then I got flu & it  vanished like steam 
Who knew flu could evaporate a dream
I never knew what it was all gonna mean?  
But I’m still Shackled to illness like I’m its b#tch 
Still scratching this 30+ year frickin itch
Kicked by exhaustion & lack of belief
All these stolen lives by the invisible thief
I need to escape to somewhere the wind blows
I don’t wanna  become yet another blue rose
On the social media posts of some
Let’s light a candle there goes another one
It’s become normalised an acceptable fate
The lingering death that we live and await
And I absolutely hate this, did I create this
Stressed til I burnt out, I struggle to face this
Denied point and purpose, rhyme or reason
Every day, week &  month every year, every season
Cancelled appointments, damn disappointments
And a default sorry well that’s the only ointment that we have to offer
With guilt & frustration
And with limited ways out of this situation.
It’s a lingering death that we live and await
And WE ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS.

Chorus
Doctor
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself)
It’s the M.E Scandal
Doctor
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself)

They never believed us, they all deceived us
Government, medical, media teased us
Decades of promises, words without action
The crumbs of their biscuits, huh, just a distraction
Allergic reaction all taken its toll
And the shrinks try to shrink us to the size of a pinhole
Oh no you don’t, we’re building the ark, 
Stronger together sailing out of the dark
Barking this is physical, co-operation critical 
But typically politically I have to spit it lyrical
They’re criminally sick but it’s of their own choosing
To neglect and abuse us, refuse the improving
I’m loosing my sh#t, get a grip, there’s still a way to go
I swear it’s gonna happen just not in my lifetime though
A  test, treatment maybe a  cure 
& future generations won’t suffer anymore
Get down off ya  cross and lay down ya crown 
Give back the award, there’s a real god in town.
Called truth, been here since the beginning
Standing in the shadows waiting for that winning moment
Our voices heard and apologies given
Watch this space for the next lyrical edition
Coz we ain’t going nowhere. It’s time. 

Chorus
Doctor
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself)
It’s the M.E Scandal
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself) 
Let’s get down to facts

It’s the M.E scandal, It’s the M.E scandal
It’s the M.E scandal, it’s the M.E scandal

Yeah it’s time the world knew, what people like me and you
Have been going through. It’s The M.E Scandal

You’ve been playing a god so long, you believe it yourself.

The ME Scandal Radio Edit

after eight

Palo Alto - Holding On

[Verse 1]
Swimming through the heat
someone sleeps beside me
water tastes like salt
tastes like someone else's mouth

[Pre-chorus]
In this room where silence breathes
watching you watch yourself leave
every surface shows the same
face my face, love is it
(is it, is it)

[Chorus]
You dissolve into the walls
skin becomes the ceiling
I am you are we are falling
through the floor of feeling
face my face, love is it
what we're always stealing
(stealing, stealing)

[Verse 2]
They move like liquid mercury
silver pooling in the spaces
between what we remember
and what remembers us

[Pre-chorus]
In this room where silence breathes
watching them watch themselves leave
every surface shows the same
face my face, love is it
(is it, is it)

[Chorus]
You dissolve into the walls
skin becomes the ceiling
I am you are we are falling
through the floor of feeling
face my face, love is it
what we're always stealing
(stealing, stealing)

[Bridge]
Anatomies of absence
pressed against the glass
they see themselves in everything
everything sees back

Bodies become furniture
furniture becomes alive
in the space between loving
and learning how to hide

[Breakdown]
face my... face my...
(echoing, fragmenting)
love is... love is...
(processed, distant)
face my face love is it love is it love is
(overlapping, building)

[Chorus - Variation]
We dissolve into the walls
blood becomes the feeling
I am you are they are falling
through the roof of healing
face my face, love is it
all we're done revealing
(revealing, revealing)

[Outro]
Someone sleeps beside the heat
water swims through me
salt becomes the mouth
mouth becomes the sea
face my face, love is it
(fading into silence)
