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 27 September: 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/batch296

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 296

Follow Me

Bud in to life,
Summoned by day
Ive gained the strength to shatter this ground 
found a way through these cracks somehow,
Lithe and so bare
But spring has come and winters death no longer leers 
So long I’ve waited to pull through this ground
buried underneath the weight of my doubt

Grown in ways that you’ve never known 
Flowered the seeds that were sown
And you bloom with colours so bold 
Awaken a courage you own 

Bud into life
trepid and frail 
steady, I stand firm in the ground 
this stem holds a weight so profound 
Abounding and dear
Spring has come and it’s breathing life into the air 
So long I’ve waited to pull through this ground 
Found a sense of what it means to not doubt

Grown in ways that you’ve never known
Flowered the seeds that were sown 
And you bloom with colours so bold 
Awaken a courage you own

Grown in ways that you’ve never known 
A flower watered to grow 
And you bloom with colours so bold
Awaken a courage you hold

LYRICS 

Oooh in a wonderland they lie, 
Oooh dreaming as the days go by. 

You were the catalyst I didn't know 
As you slowly sowed seeds that changed my world. 

You were my Spring, as you painted the coldness with green on everything. 
You were my April, March and May, 
But the colours of the seasons were never made to stay. 

Soaring through Winter on a Summer cloud, 
Wishing Summer rain, just to dream again. 

Pained with all you knew, 
Will you ever know how the colours change around you? 
Cos you paint your world in blue, 
But you painted mine with life until you flew. 

You became my start, 
Played your only part. 
Can’t go back to when 
I was different then, 
I was different then. 

Oooh in a wonderland they lie, 
Oooh dreaming as the Summers die. 

Now we are parted, on our different paths, 
We weren't meant to last, like the seasons change. 

You were my Spring, as you painted the coldness with green on everything. 
You were my April, March and May, 
But the colours of the seasons, they colour my dismay. 

Cold bites the air now on a Winter chill, 
I am frozen, still, in the wake of you. 

Pained with all you knew, 
Will you ever know how the colours change around you? 
Cos you paint your world in blue, 
Like you painted mine to a picture without you. 

Can’t go back again, 
Time is no-one’s friend. 
Now we are apart, 
Please give back my heart, 
Please give me back my heart.
