Une portion de tourtière - décembre 2021

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 1 November: 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/batch424

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 424

Coffee Mellow Acoustic

"KILL, THE ICON!" is an exploration of cultural icons and iconoclasts, viewed through the lens of pop culture.

"Buddhist Monk" is an exploration of the self-immolation of Thich Quang Duc. Modern protests are often performative and derived for the aim of social clout. This song aims to tell the story of a protestor who put it all on the line.

Released in November 2021, Buddhist Monk was the debut single from KILL, THE ICON! It has received consistent airplay on Amazing Radio and Amazing Radio USA.

This song was written for my mom who has battled breast cancer twice now. The lyrics were inspired by a poem written by Lord Byron of the same title. My sister, Margaret Dowers, wrote the lyrics and once her poem was complete, I did my best to put it to music.

Joshua Michael Robinson - Sweet Ascension

Music for a short film, theme and variation 1. By the way, when I uploaded the track, years ago, it still sounded decent. I don't know if something has changed with Soundcloud...

Theme for a short film never made

Also for my Flamencolele album, Ramblin Gal has a little bit of a swing quality to it. Great name chosen by Stephanie Giuffre. For Ukulele and 7-string guitar.

LYRICS:

last time i saw her she was barefoot,
smoking grass,
alone in the park.

summer has spoken in engaged tones,
honey bee drones and the hum of traffic.

why does it always end the same?
why does it have to be this way?

pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
she wants to escape to her own world.

i hear her voice in the sea's breath,
whispering 'goodbyes' from the dark depths
of the high tide;
in the gulls' cries;
in the blue blue eyes and the clink of ice...

why does it always end the same?
why does it have to be this way?

pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
she wants to remain in her own world.

la-la-lahhh [ad lib]
