Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk 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 26th September: 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/batch212

*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!)

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 212

Deep, melancholic beat ,filled with philoschopic ideas. 

Dzahas & Dorsha - Drugelis (Teaser)

Verse 1 : I’ve been hanging out of sight , just hoping to feel a change , a change of fortune , a change to my scene . a chance to turn the page , cause what started out as good has descended so slowly …but wait ..cause maybe I forced it maybe I lost it maybe I’m just to late 


Verse 2 : Out of sight and mind , is just what it used to be , like a sucker for torture , the Achilles to my heal , it’s getting much harder to see , but I won’t lose my hold , I’ve been clutching this  edge so long… yeah I’m gonna make it , I got to just take it , I got to just carry on … 

Verse 3 : I’ve been hanging out of sight , just hoping to feel that change , a change to my fortunes , a change to my scene . a chance to turn that page , cause what started out as good has descended so slowly …but wait ..cause maybe I forced it maybe I lost it maybe I’m just to late … 

Chorus: We always reach for the stars ,my mind is fading , it’s been this way from the start , and still I’m waiting , why do I reach for the stars , in vain I’m sailing when will I wake up and find my way through the night

Fly Away

Sweet Obsession

We're writing, recording, and releasing a new song every month in 2016. This is September's song. 

Released 28th September 2016.

The world is a gumball 
Put it in your mouth 
Always seems so sweet 
Until the taste wears out 
Until the taste wears out 
Until the taste wears out 

Alone in the fairground 
Feeding the machines 
A prize you didn't want 
A game you'll never win 
And in the dark something 
That wants to keep you in 

What do you say when they ask where you're going? 
What if your words just turn into nothing? 
I was right there, other side of the mirror 
How do you sleep, are you tired, are you dreaming now? 

The girl is a monster 
Here in the sideshow 
The last of her kind 
Full of fear and hope 
And ideas of her own 
Penny for a throw 
This is what you chose 

What do you say when they ask where you're going? 
What if your words just turn into nothing? 
I was right there, other side of the mirror 
How do you sleep, are you tired, are you dreaming now? 

What do you say when they ask what you wanted? 
Trying so hard but it all turns to nothing 
I was right there, staring out from the mirror 
How do you sleep, are you tired, are you dreaming now? 

'Cause mine is a bed of nails 
Mine is a bed of nails

LYRICS:
I want to leave this pier with stones in my pockets, 
Warm Socks, shoes of lead
I want to see you again If I don't see a single thing else
I need to feel you again, tear my skin
Blank paper, make your mark
The tide was creeping in
West-Village
Riverside remark

But I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst
Oh I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst

On your kitchen floor again
Fluorescent sun splits our sky
I'm not sure what I've done
Clean my slate but leave some stains behind
We both were sinking, egos bruised
I tasted whiskey in your mouth
Suck in the sea, define this feeling
Then drown it out

But I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst
Oh I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst
And I, I''m a good swimmer but trying to fight your current is a curse
And I, I'm a good swimmer but treading water sometimes starts to hurt
So I'll float down stream until your love returns
Oh I'll float down stream until your love returns
