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 11 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/batch253

*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 just about manage to work their way through 200+ tunes overnight, but 400+ would be impossible!)

Way (ft Klangschwester)

Released 1st Sept 2017 on Regent Street Records

'YEAH YEAH YEAH' lyrics:

Oh, when my hands are tied
I feel living dead
When I’m by your side
Get on my knees
Pray for the end
For dreams for drugs for sex & love
The death of all your friends

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Try find a way
Just nod your head
Do what you're told
Do what they said
Get on your knees
Pray for the end
For dreams for drugs for sex & love
The death of all your friends

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Pray to your god above
For the untimely demise of everyone you love
Pray to your god above
For dreams for drugs for sex and love
Pray to your god above
For the violent demise of everyone you love
Pray to your god above
For dreams for drugs for sex & love

Yeah Yeah Yeah

A dream come true

Never meant to be...
The flash of eyes is haunting,
There's groaning in the sea,
And every wave is daunting.
They never will agree,
It's lovers they are taunting.

You lied and lied...

You said, 'Step down from the ledge, my dear,
Too close to the edge, I fear.'

They're cutting all the roses down,
Darling, hold on tight, darling hold on tight,
And Lyssa dances through the town,
Darling, hold on tight, darling, hold on tight.

You don't stand for me,
And I can stand my ground.
The song I fired was sweet,
And all the notes fell down.
Here, take my hand,
We're lifting with the sound.

We sang and sang....

I said, ' Step down from the ledge, my dear,
Too close to the edge I fear.'

They're cutting all the roses down,
Darling, hold on tight, darling hold on tight,
And Lyssa dances through the town,
Darling, hold on tight, darling, hold on tight.

Hold On

02 It's Nothing

Next To Me

Rabbit Holes was written surrounded by nature, by the open widow of a rundown Cornish farm house after a period of listening to a lot of The Tallest Man on Earth. 

The song follows the path of someone yearning to reach their love who has gone to a place that can't be followed. Although they both want to be together, the desperate efforts are seemingly in vein.

Rabbit Holes

Our first song, let us know what you think!

LYRICS:

I see your outline in the dark
I can hear the blood run in your heart 
when we’re in each other’s arms

The stillness of the night is here 
with all the riot of our fear
trying to re-open our scars

But nothing in this life is real
and time alone won’t help to heal 
getting to the hardest part

Time is running out  for us 
All our dreams turn to dust
Never dreamed it be so hard
 
And it’s tearing me apart must be something that I can do
I’m through with chasing stars and howling at the moon
I’m done with being young and waiting for life to start
You’re not the only one who’s got a fragile heart

Now I see the lights go down   
and all the faces in the crowd 
disappear into the dark

And all the songs that we once sung 
sound so much better in the sun 
what better place to make a start

‘Cos happy ends are just a ruse 
you try to win that’s when you lose 
it’s peace we need to feel sane

And time is ticking on my dear 
there’s nothing left for us to fear 
there’s no one left to play the game

And it’s tearing me apart must be something that I can do
I’m through with chasing stars and howling at the moon
I’m done with being young and waiting for life to start
You’re not the only one who’s got a fragile heart

Fragile Heart

'Nothing but Adore You' by Richard Walters

'Nothing but Adore You' is the new single by UK artist Richard Walters. Co-written with acclaimed singer/songwriter Tom Rosenthal (http://tomrosenthal.co.uk), the track was recorded by rising producer Patrick James Pearson, whose recent work includes releases by Grace Lightman and Avante Black.

His 2016 album 'A.M.' gained strong support from a number of tastemaker blogs, including The Line of Best Fit, All Things Go and The Wild Honey Pie, as well as radio play on BBC 6 Music (the single 'Awards Night' was Lauren Laverne's Recommended Track of the Week in December 2016) and BBC Radio 2.

Richard's music has soundtracked a number of hit US TV shows in recent years, including Grey's Anatomy, Bones, Revenge and Criminal Minds, plus upcoming Sky Atlantic series Tin Star, starring Tim Roth and Christina Hendricks.
