Name: Shell by Fishing 4 Compliments in ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 389
Duration: 3 min 25 s
Description: There is a long sad story behind 'Shell' that Eileen sometimes reveals at gigs but in general the songs message is about what we can learn from others and their situations and looking beyond external appearance. The song is written by Eileen and all instruments are by Fishing4Compliments. This track is produced, mixed and mastered and features additional programming by J & D Dunwell.

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 7th December 2020: 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/batch389

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.

All Christmas tracks have been saved to a special playlist that will go out before the big day.

Set You Free (N-Trance Cover)

From Ross: I wanted to write ‘The Day The World Went Away’ by NIN. I was reading White Noise by Don DeLillo so lots of the lyrics are inspired by that. The line ‘I can taste the bleach on your breath’ is about that scene in Mad Men where Don Draper comes home and washing his mouth out with Bleach to cover up the taste of the woman he’s been out with.

Named after one of many watercourses I explored growing up in West Lancs.... I often wonder who Jane was, if anyone..... a resurrected oldie.

Shell

Moving reckless, low and deep
I lost somebody I thought I'd keep
Close your secrets over me
No rehearsal, no retreat
So problematic, so incomplete
The flesh is willing, the spirit is weak
It's too expensive for something so cheap
Moving reckless, moving deep

Manifest good life and no danger
You don't recognise I'm no stranger
My life is outside it left with her, it's left with her

Moving reckless, low and deep
I lost somebody I thought I'd keep
Close your secrets over me
No rehearsal, no retreat
So problematic, so incomplete
Sirens crying themselves to sleep
It's too aggressive for something so weak
Moving reckless, moving deep

You don't recognise I'm no stranger
My life is outside it left with her, it's left with her

Moving Reckless (Single Edit)

‘All That you Dream’ is about encouraging someone to follow their dreams and passions, regardless of any pitfalls that life throws at them along the way.  This is a song about hope and a reminder that anything you want is possible if you follow your heart and keep heading for the stars.
