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 25 June: 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/batch289

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably 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 will be able to resubmit the track in future.

KNOW THE FEELING

Better

She calls me smelly bum and darling. Terry on a Sunday
Every day she calls me when she clocks off from work
Smelly Bum She calls me, Terry if I'm Lairy 
Every day she hugs me when she walks through the door, hello smelly bum.
And you don't want to know what she calls me, When I've had to much of the sauce
But the very next day it's forgotten, par for the course.
She calls me smelly bum and darling. Terry on a Sunday
Every day she calls me when she clocks off from work
Smelly Bum She calls me, Terry if I'm Lairy 
Every day she hugs me when she walks through the door, hello smelly bum.
You got ten minutes for a talk , Did you take the dogs out for a walk 
What d'ya fancy for tea,  Let's spend the weekend, togther you and me hello 
 smelly bum
She calls me smelly bum and darling. Terry on a Sunday
Every day she calls me when she clocks off from work
Smelly Bum She calls me, Terry if I'm Lairy 
Every day she hugs me when she walks through the door, hello smelly bum.
Hello smelly Bum x6 ? Hello Smelly Bu uh uh um

Smelly Bum (Full Band mix)

I must be feeling low again, lower than low
I must be feeling low again, lower than low

But some feelings feel the same
I fear it every day
But I can't complain
I must have gone insane...

I'm stuck within my mind tonight
When will it end?
I don't belong
I won't become just another one of them

I'm tearing out my brain
I struggle on in vain
How could I complain?
I know that they're insane...

12 Only Our Rivers Run Free

'Flower Fountain' now out on all platforms!!! 

The track centres around the deep love that kept Frida Kahlo locked in her relationship with Diego Rivera, though their were unfaithful moments on both parts, Cici Lara reflects on how they were two independent entities that came together full heartedly, but became emotional turbulent.

Producer by Andrew Hockey

Flower Fountain

Bitter sweet, it is an album about the profundity of life, birth and death. It is hopeful like the Beatles, powerful like Neil Young. Driven by the acoustic guitar. Indie folk at its best...

LYRICS
I was once on a distant shore
I remember at least that part
Taken by storm, out on a journey 
Now I look for a place for the heart 
I will find me a place for the heart

With a blanket to keep me warm
I am sure that I will go far
And if it means ever returning
I will look for a place for the heart 
I will find me a place for the heart

I am certain I heard you call
And I know just how lost you are 
Even asleep, I can still hear you 
So I look for a place for the heart 
I will find me a place for the heart

You go down to the sea as the tide comes in
You know just what it means as you go under again

Well, I know I’ve been here before
It was under a different star 
Travelled the world many times over 
Now I look for a place for the heart 
Till I find me a place for the heart
I will find me a place for the heart
