Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via soundcloud.com/groups/dropbox anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 30th May 2016: from mid-day on Friday 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/batch201

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

LYRICS

Tell me it's the best for us
Take away the truth because 
Sleeping top to toe with me
Isn't what it used to be

So I'm changing all my days to make your nights
It's just not right
And you tell me I'm a child and take my light
To smoke your mind
But I don't smile like before
And you take him to your bed, it's all been said
You need this more

Tell me I'm a time you'll miss
Feelings always change like this
But you are all the words I need
To explain myself, it seems

So I'm changing all my days to make your nights
It's just not right
And you tell me I'm a child and take my light
To smoke your mind
But I don't smile like before
And you take him to your bed, it's all been said
You need this more

Please don't go, I need you 
Take control, you tell me
Please don't go, I need you
Take control

So I'm changing all my days to make your nights
Its just not right
And you tell me I'm a child and take my light
To smoke your mind
But I don't smile like before
And you take him to your bed, it's all been said
You need this more
Won't you take me to your bed
I should have said
I need you more

Lets Jump Ship! (Lyrics)

This is a song for the disillusioned
The forgotten, the left behind
We’ll jump this endless shipwreck together
Take the weight on our shoulders and be just fine

I’ve taken my time rehearsing these lines
Considered the rhythm the meaning and rhyme
As I try to find answers, I manage to scrawl
A collection of word not written before

I dust myself off and I start again
Cause a life with hope’s worth living
I’ve taken some beatings, been knocked down
I always get back up, both feet on the ground

I’ll pick myself up and start again
Cause this is a life thats worth living
No matter how many bruises I may collect
Broken hearts or sorrowful regrets

My hearts fit to burst with chorus and verse
There’s a fire in my belly now I’ve found the words
My soul’s fit to burst with passion and song
And I ain’t gonna give up until I’m done

End section lines:

I’m gonna sing ‘till my throat runs dry

Open these arms so that they are wide

Let’s grab this life, with both hands

Let’s jump this ship, swim back to land

The One is a song that is inspired by love for someone but it could also be interpreted as being tinged with a little sadness about loss and longing and the passage of time. It is a reflective song about life long relationships and those special memories that stay with you forever. It’s also about looking at your feelings for someone who is not necessarily a lover or a partner but someone who has touched your soul in an unexpected and unique way. Much of the inspiration for the song came from the love I feel for my brothers little boy who is just two years old. I feel incredibly lucky to have him in my life and the love I feel for him is quite overwhelming sometimes and has really taken me by surprise. I am his uncle but also his guardian and I feel very lucky to have him in my life. But I think it is best if people listen to the song and relate to it in their own way, it can mean whatever you want it to mean really but I suppose ultimately it is about love. The music video tells a bit of a story which I think illustrates the song from my perspective pretty well.


RUPERT STROUD - THE ONE

The light in the sky 
Shines upon the road 
When the world is broken 
And all the love has gone 

The lines in the sand 
Mark a thousand miles of trying 
When the tribe has spoken 
It’s me who don’t belong 

Tonight the flowers fall 
And the winds will howl their songs 
Let the fire burn as a beacon 
Guide the souls back to their homes 

The light that I will follow 
To the keeper of all sorrows 
For each new forsaken story 
That’s told 
An elderflower falls 

The tears of the kind 
Break the angels’ seal of silence 
As pain is forgotten 
Salvation lies forlorn
