Any artist is welcome to send us a 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 5th March: from midday 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/batch275

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. You may resubmit the track in future.

Whispers

This is quite a departure for me. The musical idea was going to be used for a different song. One morning a sort of stream of consciousness lyric began to form. I wrote it down & decided to channel the anger!

Losing Control

No Great Shakes

Come Back came to me while I was writing on the piano one beautiful spring morning. The story is about how most of us catch ourselves talking to the ones we love when actually for all sense and purposes, they are not really there, or are they?
If they are, then I say, Come Back and talk to me again.

Come Back

'Horizon' from EP Awake by Fifi Rong @2018

Lyrics:

Sadness sipping through my pores 
Sinking a little deeper to the ground 
Sadness sipping through my pores 
Sinking a little deeper to the ground 

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again
Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

I’m fading, falling
Waiting, to begin
Drifting, turning
Crossed it, so burn it
Searching, frowning
Drowning, sink in
Make it in crisis
Is it love or fear

Sadness sipping through my pores 
Sinking a little deeper to the ground 
Sadness sipping through my pores 
Sinking a little deeper to the ground 

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

I’m fading, falling
Waiting, to turn in
Rushing, towards it
Crossed it, so burn it

Feels like, coming
Loudness of crushing
You’re breathtaking
Is it love or fear

Sadness sipping through my pores 
Sinking a little deeper to the ground 
Sadness sipping through my pores 
Sinking a little deeper to the ground 

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

Awake

Shadow Play

lyrics:

i'm ready for the punch 
but it may never come 
that's how i live my life 
terrified & dumb 

something has gone missing 
or never was there at all 
i've never felt desire 
for anything at all 

i don't know what to tell ya 
that i haven't said before 
i feel the same old feelings: 
it's like a kick on the floor 

why'd you tell me that you need it 
and then go off, disappearing? 
why'd you tell me 
'bout your real love? 

hopin' that 
you'd see it 
i've spent 
years in secret 
all my life 
been keepin' 
all these li(v)es 
i still need 'em

CRUSHING

The Punch

Firing

Televise Me is about who gets to be in the media. And cyborgs.

From Punktastic article: 
"It’s a two-minute anthemic blast but there’s an emotional core to it too…about who gets to be in the media,” explains guitarist/vocalist Darren. “If you look at the punk, indie, grunge scenes, they’re not very diverse. Which is a shame if you’re a kid with a minority background and all your favourite bands don’t look like you. There’s also dystopian stuff with the chorus “We’ve been watching you!” about how surveilled we are. I’d been to Israel and got interrogated for an hour at the airport before the flight basically because of how I look and so the “Please come into this private room” came from that. And it’s about cyborgs."

Paper Doll - ISQ

The third track from the EP 'Spirits' - released October 2017

Breaking beams, I gave myself a beating
a lack of simple routine, a lack of simple routine is killing me
In between, those days where I feel spaces
I see you, I see you, I see you and ask myself

Am I a simple machine?

You go low, you go lonely when you're tired
I wish I would and I wish I could
You go high, you go higher when you're fired

I drop to my knees, and I've taken to your pleadings
A lack of civility, this lack of civility's the death of me
and in between those stages of your kindness
I see a future, I see future, I see you and ask myself

Am I a simple machine?

When you go low, and you go lonely when you're tired
I wish I would, and I wish I could
and you go high, you go higher when you're fired
I wish I would, and I wish I could

But I'm a simple machine and I can't compete
I'm a simple machine

and you came here and you came looking for attention
For her eyes true, for her eyes drew you to her
and you came down, you came seeking my intention
I wish I knew, yeah I wish I knew

Spirits

You go Low

You Go Low

A country flavoured tale of an ageing musician on the comeback trail with more than a nod in homage to Leonard Cohen.
