Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 28 June: 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/batch412

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.

ALT ROCK DREAM POP LOVE

This is a list of songs that I'm trying to narrow down to 3, possibly 4 songs, depending on the response I get, to focus all of my time and energy (and money) to promote. Since I've retired from releasing NEW MUSIC, I want to finally take the time to focus on promoting some of what I created over this past year, instead of the hit-or-miss type of promotion I've been doing and is, quite frankly, what I only had the ENERGY to do, whilst still trying to MAKE NEW MUSIC!

The Destroyer (Big Tunes Records)

Seal the Deal
Lyrics & Music: Michael Perry; Max Ovenden

“Seal the Deal” is a gritty punky Pop song about feeling desperation and despair from intense desire. Falling in love with somebody who doesn’t love you back is a soul crushing experience and this song reveals the turmoiled inner monologue of a heartbroken guy. In the chorus the lyrics refer to his love flowing down the drain, which is exactly how it feels when you have so much love but nobody to give it to. Michael’s powerful performance lets you explore his mind as he ruminates about his love.

LYRICS:

Don't fall in love unless you can take it
Don't open your heart because they will break it

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

Don't open your eyes before you can see them
Don't fall for the lies because you want to believe them

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

LYRICS:

You were breathless in the night
You were waiting for the light
You breathless and undone
I was waiting for someone

I was waiting for someone
I was waiting on the Sun

Alba, Alba

I felt your breath inside of me
I felt the wetness of the Sea
You breathless and undone
I was waiting for someone

I was waiting for someone
I was waiting on the Sun

LYRICS:

Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and rape me
Take off your clothes and let me see you
Cut off your nose and let me breathe you
Only wanted someone else, all addicted to yourself
Teeth, eyelashes, fingernails
I just want you to break me
I just want you to rape me
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and break me
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and rape me
Only wanted someone else, all addicted to yourself
Teeth, eyelashes, fingernails, you just wanna see me fail
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and break me
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and rape me
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and break me
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and rape me
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and break me
Kill it let it go, kill it let it go, kill it let it go and rape me
Rape me
I just want you, you just want to, kill it let it go and rape me
I don't love you, you just want to, kill it let it go and break me

Kill It Let It Go

Vocals:  Hatchatorium
Synths and Drums:  Roger Rance

LYRICS:

You say you're sorry, I don't care
You say you're falling, but I don't know where

Running to the light, running to the night
We're not scared
Running to the light, running to the night
Don't know where

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You say you're sorry, I don't care
You say you're falling, but I don't know where

Running to the light, running to the night
We're not scared
Running to the light, running to the night
Don't know where

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Running To The Light

LYRICS:

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Your face is in the ground, don't face this lying down
Wake up before you drown
You're lost before you're found, then next you're falling down,
Wake up before you drown

Dreaming of obscenities, dividing your infinities
Until you get the best of me, screaming until the majorities,
Take me to the authorities
Until it puts your mind at ease, you're drowning in amenities,
And all your responsibilities

Your face is in the ground, don't face this lying down
You never make a sound
You're lost before you're found, the next you're falling down,
Wake up before you drown

You're lost before you're found, the next you're falling down,
Wake up before you drown
Your face is in the ground, don't face this lying down
Wake up before you drown

You're lost before you're found, the next you're falling down,
Wake up before you drown
Wake up before you drown
Wake up before you drown

Drown

LYRICS:

Staring at the spiders on the ceiling
Wonder what it must be like to be them
Are they looking up at me and thinking
Wonder what it must be like to be him

I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling
They're not touching me but I can feel them

Spiders everywhere
They stop to look and stare
Like I'm the alien
Staring up at them
Spiders all around
Don't look up or down
Maybe they will leave
If I go back to sleep

Spiders, spiders
Spiders, spiders

I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling
I can't shake this feeling that I feed him
I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling
I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling

Spiders everywhere
They stop to look and stare
Like I'm the alien
Staring up at them
Spiders all around
Don't look up or down
Maybe they will leave
If I go back to sleep

Spiders, spiders
Spiders, spiders

I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling
I can't shake this feeling that I feed him
I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling
I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling

Staring at the spiders on the ceiling
Wonder what it must be like to be them
Are they looking up at me and thinking
Wonder what it must be like to be him

I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling
I can't shake this feeling that I feed him
I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling
I can't shake this feeling that I'm feeling

Come For Me

Elle a de ces lumières au fond des yeux 
Qui rendent aveugles ou amoureux 
Elle a des gestes de parfum 
Qui rendent bête ou rendent chien 
Et si lointaine dans son coeur 
Pour moi c'est sûr 
Elle est d'ailleurs
Elle a de ces manières de ne rien dire 
Qui parlent au bout des souvenirs 
Cette manière de traverser 
Quand elle s'en va chez le boucher 
Quand elle arrive à ma hauteur 
Pour moi c'est sûr 
Elle est d'ailleurs
Et moi je suis tombé en esclavage 
De ce sourire, de ce visage 
Et je lui dis emmène-moi 
Et moi je suis prêt à tous les sillages 
Vers d'autres lieux, d'autres rivages 
Mais elle passe et ne répond pas 
Les mots pour elle sont sans valeur 
Pour moi c'est sûr, elle est d'ailleurs
Elle a ses longues mains de dentellière 
A damner l'âme d'un Vermeer 
Cette silhouette vénitienne 
Quand elle se penche à ses persiennes 
Ce geste je le sais par coeur 
Pour moi c'est sûr 
Elle est d'ailleurs
Et moi je suis tombé en esclavage 
De ce sourire, de ce visage 
Et je lui dis emmène-moi 
Et moi je suis prêt à tous les sillages 
Vers d'autres lieux, d'autres rivages 
Mais elle passe et ne répond pas 
L'amour pour elle est sans valeur 
Pour moi c'est sûr 
Elle est d'ailleurs
Et moi je suis tombé en esclavage 
De ce sourire, de ce visage 
Et je lui dis emmène moi 
Et moi je suis prêt à tous les sillages 
Vers d'autres lieux, d'autres rivages 
Mais elle passe et ne répond pas

Elle est d'ailleurs
