Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon : from Friday afternoon 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/batch532

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. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

I am very grateful for this song with Oddrun and Arne. 
It is truly amazing to see how things falls into place and ends up like this fine result of our pleasant collaboration.
Poem: Emily Jane Brontë

Mild the mist upon the hill
Telling not of storms tomorrow;
No, the day has wept its fill,
Spent its store of silent sorrow.

O, I'm gone back to the days of youth,
I am a child once more,
And 'neath my father's sheltering roof
And near the old hall door

I watch this cloudy evening fall
After a day of rain;
Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall
The horizon's mountain chain.

The damp stands on the long green grass
As thick as morning's tears,
And dreamy scents of fragrance pass
That breathe of other years.

Upon The Hill.  Oddrun Eikli. Arne Hiorth. Torbjørn Vagle

Lyrics:

Why am I frozen
Waiting for the buds to bloom 
Ground is overflowing
I’m running out of room

My body’s aching
I don’t feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming 
Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

I watch the air that I’m breathing 
Waiting for myself to thaw
Draw with my fingertips
I don’t need to be in love

My body’s aching
I can feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
      
I don’t wanna come down

When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I just wanna feel

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

An important year for democracy! 
Some fun with my new analogue synth, my old P bass and Strat.
Lots of work in this one. Some stolen ideas and some new ones....

Democracy

I have stage 4 breast cancer and quite often people don't believe me when I tell them that I'm great. We have all have a personal scale of really bad to really great, and having cancer does not change that. Whilst living with cancer I often feel great, so when you ask me and I say that I am great - I actually mean it.


[VERSE 1]
Some days obstacles stand in my way
Casting their mist of pure grey
But I see the light of sun rays
I have to choose my attitude before I get up
Will I face the day ahead of me with cheer
The hope in my soul tells me that I have nothing to fear

[PRECHORUS]
I’m being honest when I say		
How I am feeling today

[CHORUS]
I’m great
I know life’s not perfect, ok
I can’t help feeling this way
Every day 
When I walk in a room with a smile on my face
My heart is singing
Coz I’m great

[VERSE 2]
The warmth of sun on my skin makes me sing
Knowing what this life will bring
Adventures and wonderful things
I get to travel round the world and see its beauty
With all my favourite people next to me
Not asking for much I’m content with how my life will be 

[PRECHORUS]
I’m being honest when I say		
How I am feeling today

[CHORUS]
I’m great
I know life’s not perfect, ok
But I can’t help feeling this way
Every day 
When I walk in a room with a smile on my face
My heart is singing
Coz I’m great
I’m great
I’m great
I’m great
I’m great

I'm Great

I wrote this song for my husband. I wished we met earlier, but our time together is so precious that it's making up for that lost time.

This is Gracie's first single off her upcoming EP 'Dimples'

This song was written in 2021 by GRACiE BEVERLEY. It was produced by Joe Sage and mastered by Stephen Kerrison.

Lunatics 148 The Monky island/ Joerxworx & Ratzzz

A collaboration between Point Blank students Tasha & Harry (vocals) and London producer/DJ duo Atari & Precious, who met through London club night SNEAK at XOYO. Energetic dance pop with a definite alt-festival vibe. 130bpm.

tasha.mp4 x Harry Wearing - Falling For You (Atari & Precious RMDL)

It's about time we left Chomolungma to be the holy place she is. It's about time we started caring for nature again.

Based on this poem:

Billions of heartbeats beneath
Her ribs. The granite cage of birth
From under the sea up
And away.

So hard to let go, 
To open up and allow new
Breath amid the schists
And gneisses in the half-mists.

Limestone marks her own
Heart, the beating slow and frozen,
Here at the top, and choking
From the mess her children
Make of her and the world.

She barely remembers
Being a goddess mother,
How she emerged from the ocean
Carrying hope in her braided
Hair, so white now,
Streaming from her in plumes.

Rest awhile, just to gather
Enough strength to stop
Conceiving
To start
Believing
Again, in the art
Of sanctity.

Beneath her ribs.
Beneath her.
Beneath.

Goddess Mother (The Real Name For Everest)

Initially recorded on a hard disk system then transferred to DAW. Perfect for a James Bond scene.
