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 2nd October: 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/batch543

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.

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 543

Never Mind

A mood piece intended to convey the confusing nature of dreams, the memories that sometimes insert themselves, & the emotions evoked.

Full Grown Man

Hungover, looking like I’ve been dragged backwards through a cement mixer
Paler than a ghost with eyes the size the fucking craters
If Ugly Betty’s ugly, then what does that say about me?

Mars Rover, waking up alone with no one’s head over my shoulder
I wouldn’t have it any other way but now I’m older
This single bed looks funny, probably says lots about me

I don’t think about it too much
Just every waking moment
Send me to sleep, or sell me some weed
If the edge is off I’m golden

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ugly Betty

“LITTLE BOYS” is a bold and unapologetic anthem that tackles the themes of immaturity and self-worth, delivering a message of strength, independence, and emotional growth. With its catchy hooks and a dynamic blend of indie-pop and contemporary elements, the song captures the frustrations and realisations of growing past toxic relationships, reclaiming your power and knowing when to walk away.

Hannah Mazey - LITTLE BOYS

Written during 2024's 50/90 - a broken love song
Lyrics - NSFW:
When It Was For You
Along came the day that I dreaded
Life's fabric, completely unthreaded
When you said goodbye, with no tears in your eyes,
and nothing about it, regretted

For you. When it was for you.
All for you. When it was for you.
All for you. When it was for you.

The circus of life, we were sharing
On the high wire, we were so daring.
Along came a frown, wearing a clown,
Next thing, my heart, it was tearing.

For you. All for you.
When it was for you..All for you.
When it was for you.
Ahhh....Fuck you, ahhhh.... fuck you!
Fuck You.

When It Was For You

Track # 13 from my first LP called " Songs for Peace, Love and Understanding". The theme of saying goodbye is something we all experiencing as humans throughout our life as the years pass. Saying goodbye to love family members as they pass away, moving away and saying goodbye to friends and what i was thinking about at the time was saying goodbye to my my work life and friends after I retired my from long term career working in mental health as an Occupational Therapist.

Lyrics:
Saying goodbye, it's always bittersweet
Walking away from the ones we used to meet
Promises made, now drifting in the wind
Memories fading, like chapters coming to an end

In the circle of life, we come, and we go
Some stay for a while, others we'll never know
But the moments we shared; they'll never fade away
In the tapestry of time, they'll forever stay

So goodbye friends, we walked this road together
But now it's time to part ways, we'll cherish this forever
Our laughter echoes in the night
As we say our last goodbyes

Through the highs and lows, we stood side by side
Now it's time to spread our wings and let the past abide
But wherever we roam, whatever we do
The bond we shared will always shine true

Last Goodbyes (Remix)

If I Was A Mockingbird draft

Holding On draft

I Can Read The Signs v2 w bridge

Track # 14 from my first LP called "Songs for Peace, Love and Understanding." In the end it is always about the song which is the main theme which runs throughout the verses. Being taken to a place in the song by the writer and storyteller and maybe finding something that you may also relate to or in the least sing along with.
Lyrics:

In the quiet of the night
I find solace in the song
The rhythm and the rhyme
Help me carry on

Through heartache and through pain
The music heals the soul
Every note and every chord
Helps us feel whole

It's always about the song
The way it moves us along
Echoes and melody
In our hearts, forever strong

Take me to that place
Where the music flows like a stream
Let me lose myself
In the beauty of the dream

So let the music play
And let the lyrics soar
For in the end, it's always about the song
That keeps us coming back for more

It's Always About the Song (Remix)

Track # 15 the final track on my first LP called " Songs. For Peace Love and Understanding" concludes and wraps up what I have been trying to communicate throughout the album. Peace. love and understanding as humans is what life is all is all about to me anyway. How much of this we experience of this throughout our life is very individual and unique to us all.

"That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind."
Mos Def

Lyrics:

In a world of chaos and strife
I search for a glimpse of light
Through the darkness and the night
I seek peace with all my might

In a sea of voices loud
I crave a gentle, peaceful sound
A melody to heal and astound
To unite, to reconcile

Inner peace in the heart
Love as the guiding art
Understanding in every part
Let's come together, never apart

Let kindness be our anthem
Let empathy be our song
In unity, we find freedom
In compassion, we belong

So, let's raise our voices high
And let love be our battle cry
For in harmony, we'll never die
Peace, love, and understanding

Peace, Love and Understanding (Remix)

Saw AJR live a couple weeks ago here in St Louis and decided I REALLY wanted to try remixing/flipping one of their tracks, so here we are! Also, mixing this was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I think we finally got 'em, but it took me WAY too long to figure out 🥴😭

La Hollywood Freeway Ghosts kreas muzikon inspiritan de la alternativa, indie kaj progresema roko de la 80-aj kaj 90-aj jaroj, kun postglama stilo, nuancoj de psikedelio, iom da Ameriko, kaj moderna indie. Ni pensas, ke ĝi estas sono tiel eklektika kiel kapteca, ĉar ni transiras de serenaj, glitantaj melodioj al energiaj, gitardrivitaj himnoj. La Ghosts estis fondita en 2017 fare de Freeway Bill, kiu origine venis el Los-Anĝeleso kaj nun estas usona ekzilito loĝanta en Luksemburgio.
