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 31st October: 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/batch217

*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!)

Sunrise

'Song For The Birds’ was penned one cold winter night in the Highlands. A reflection on time spent exploring the banks of the River Ness. Alone in my thoughts. The birds a constant companion. 

‘Song For The Birds’ is released on 4th November. https://laurencemademecry.bandcamp.com/album/song-for-the-birds

Song For The Birds

Version 2. Pleased with how this is bedding in, so it was re-recorded and mixed on the eight track. A song I've been kicking around for a while, inspired by a same sex couple who were together when I met Emma, and are still together now, through an era of slowly-but-surely changing attitudes and the repeal of Clause 28. They kept it together where many other couples have gone by the wayside. It was also spurred on by a recent family announcement :-)

Transport Paradise

What Is Said

She's so jealous of her fit best mate,
She wore that low cut top to overcompensate.
Her eyes are gone but then it's not that late,
The vodka for the pre-drinks, what a big mistake.

Now grab your friends and arch your back,
Pictures at the front door, nothing class 'bout that.
No nothing screams "Sophisticated lasses"
Than going home without your heels and half your eyelashes.

It's just so enticing you can't say no,
(Can't say no, you can't say no)
But it's always a let down each time you go,
(Time you go, you can't say no)
You don't make your mind up you just to and fro,
(To and fro, each time you go)

But we are bound by invisible strings,
To go out and do unspeakable things.

Alcohol she claims its heaven sent,
But when the night comes round that's when her morals went. 
Strike a pose yeah, one that flatters,
Looking good in pictures well it's all that matters.

She knocks it back but she don't really like the taste of it,
It's so surprising cause she's never been the one to spit.
What she downs not sure what it consisted,
It all helps in the goal of getting twisted,

She's trying things she said she never would of tried before,
She sniffs 'em off the keys to her mums front door.
Where's the weekend gone she must of missed it.
It passes by when you're out there getting twisted.
