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 2 July: 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/batch290

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.

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.
W.B Yeats

My Room - King Lexy ft. Yemi Rush & Dj Cinch

In My Head

I Am

Once thought there`d be time for everything,
reset the clock on my Facebook page,
start all over again.
Once thought I`d rewrite my life,
deleting things I regret
from my own timeline.
Once thought the fun would last forever,
stay out dancing every night,
thought we were so clever.
Once thought I could turn night into day,
the lights would never go out,
the music would always play.
Once thought, when I was young and proud,
life would give me everything,
I only had to shout.
Once thought it would always go my way.
Seems so very different 
now I`ve thrown it all away.
Cos I still love u.
I still want u.
Once thought life was just a game,
dodging waves on the shore,
always be the same.
Once thought
I could turn back time,
undo everything I`d done, 
make it be all right.
Cos I still love u.
I still want u.

Still Love U

STILL LOVE U

Fast Paced Tongues

Lyrics:

Tell me, why would I want to leave, why would I want to leave,  
A world that’s fit for a king for me
Tell me why I’d want to leave, tell me why I’d leave 
A lazy life in paradise
Where

I don’t wanna go to sleep
Let me dream in reality 
Forever
Together 

It’s a Lazy life 
More laughs than there are cries 
nessled on a beachside untill moonrise
Stare into horizons
Amidst nature’s vibrations 
Now that sounds good to me, 
Now does it sound good to you
Cause if it sounds good to you then please tell me 
Why would I 

Why would I want to leave, why would I want to leave,  
A world that’s fit for a king for me
Tell me why I’d want to leave, tell me why I’d leave 
A lazy life in paradise
I feel like 

I don’t wanna go to sleep
Let me dream in reality 
Forever
Together 

I’ll explain the feeling
Of love that holds special meaning
It’s a lazy life
You’ll feel so alive

Tell me, why would I want to leave, why would I want to leave,  
A world so real for a king for me
Tell me why I’d leave
I life so real
For you and

I don’t wanna go to sleep
Let me dream in reality 
Forever
Together
