Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 9 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/batch257

*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 140 tunes overnight, but 280 would be impossible!)

EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT LYRICS

As the dawn breaks, on the last day -
Of a long, long year,
My head aches, but the bedroom is bright and 
I'm wide awake.
And you’re here -
And it's such a relief to finally 
Have you near ...
But I almost hear you thinking,
I can almost hear you thinking,
About ... him.
And all that you'll leave behind,
Lies heavy on your mind -
Heavy on my mind …
 
But I've got this funny feeling everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything 
Will fall --- into place.
 
So pack up your things and just leave him,
Come right out and just tell him where you were tonight.
Or kiss him tonight with the same mouth,
You used on me in my ... cold house,
And I promise I won't tell.
But I almost hear you thinking,
I can almost hear you thinking,
About ... him.
And all that you'll leave behind,
Lies heavy on your mind -
Heavy on my mind …
 
Here I go, another romantic on overflow,
I locked you out but you won't go,
The keys tied round your neck
Haven't quite strangled you yet.
And I live with my regrets,
Like you with your cigarettes,
I long to give you up,
Before you kill me.
 
We're too tied, too well-tied together.

Safe From Harm

Everything Will Work Out

I’m from a place where
The devil says goodnight
Wide skies watched over
As we waited through life

I didn’t know what you were
But I waited for you
Look to the horizon 
Willing you in to view

You go your own way
And I'll go mine
You got your answer
I'm doing fine

When I turn out the lights
I think of all the prayers
Rising from the rooftops 
Converge in the air

Yellow haze of streetlights
Obscures the sky here
Train ourselves not to think
Pretend we don’t care

You go your own way
And I'll go mine
You got your answer
I'm doing fine

I'm Doing Fine

WHAT DO YOU LEARN is out on the 6th October 2017

Old Space

Elon Darlin'

“The concept behind Bloodline came from the notion that society tend to treat and think about people who don’t fall into the ‘norm’ category differently. I believe that everyone is uniquely individual whether it’s their race, ability, gender or sexuality. At times some people are unintentionally made to feel like ‘outsiders', but we should remember that we're all human and we should be encouraging unity and highlighting similarities whilst respecting each other’s differences! I know this song will be released into a world that finds itself in some very unsettling times and I would love for “Bloodline” to be a reminder of the importance in showing love and compassion to the people around us.”. 

Lyrics:
Soft imagination
But it causes you frustration
Your mind is different from mine
Minor variation
But it causes alteration
In the mind of people from the other kind

We are blinded by appearances
We don’t know why you don’t belong
We are blinded by the differences
And we are the ones who got it wrong

We are all, we are all
One bloodline 
If we just, if we just
Take a little time 
We could all, we could all 
Reunite
Coz we are, we are 
One bloodline

God knows we are sinful
Don’t read this fiction in full
How we only worship what is gone
We treasure our demons
And banish all the saints
They’ve got us dancing to their song

We are blinded and uninterested
We don’t know why you don’t belong
We are blinded by our innocence
And we are the ones who got it wrong

Chorus

We are
You know we are, you know we are
We are
You know we are, you know we are

THE IMMEDIATE
‘With The Fireflies’ single
OUT NOW

“… I just think this is absolutely beautiful.” (referring to With The Fireflies)
Janice Long, BBC Radio Wales

  “… a great tune, great playing, wild spiky guitar, odd lyrics, a light sprinkling of anarchic menace and the perfect pop radio length.”
Tom Robinson, BBC6Music (referring to What’s The Matter Kevin Jones?)

“The Immediate could conceivably be the Welsh REM.”
Louder Than War, 8/10 (review for Manbuoy)

For fans of: Teenage Fanclub, James Taylor, Neil Young.

We are The Immediate, a three-piece band from Mold in north Wales. We have released a critically acclaimed album, two EP’s and a single, receiving airplay and support from Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music, Janice Long, BBC Introducing, Chris Needs on BBC Radio Wales and from a host of excellent independent radio shows and blogs (Louder Than War, Sweeping The Nation, The Breakdown, Music Is My Radar, Neil Crud).

Our new single, ‘With The Fireflies’, is OUT NOW as a download (bandcamp / iTunes) / and to stream via Spotify etc. 

‘With The Fireflies’ is a brand new song written as a tribute of my (Adam’s) dad, who died in July, and had been hugely supportive of the band, regardless of our limitations and despite some of the questionable decisions we made. He was aghast, for example, that we cut short a paid residency that we had in Saint Tropez in the early 90’s; he just couldn’t comprehend why we’d give up the sun and money to return to a life on the dole, in drizzly, grey Mold, and he was -of course- absolutely right.

‘With The Fireflies’ is not intended to be mawkish or exploitative. My dad encouraged us, and instilled his passion for music into me, and ‘With The Fireflies’ is a musical echo of many of those artists that I grew up listening to: Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, particularly.

The song details a memory from an ad hoc family holiday to Tuscany when I was young. This wasn’t quite the supremely comfortable, middle class holiday experience that Tuscany usually evokes: there was a harem scarem drive across Europe in a borrowed Maxi; nights in windblown tents, and - of course - fireflies.
 We have just played their final gig of 2017 and will spend the end of the year writing for, and recording, our next EP, due for release early in 2018.
