Harmonizing Tomorrow: Unveiling the Next Gen Singer-Songwriters' Melodic Stories

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 5th June 2023: 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/batch491

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.

LYRICS:
i’m on the midnight train from Marylebone 
i couldn’t sleep last night and now i’m all alone
i try to lose myself but i forgot my headphones 

i’m going way too fast to catch the sights 
and if i close my eyes i see the lights 
i wish it wasn’t raining on my way home

it’s a familiar place 
but it don’t feel the same 
is it me or you that changed? 
is it me or you that changed?

i’m in a losing game
but i don’t wanna play 
do I leave or do i stay? 
do I leave or do i stay? 

if i do will i feel the same?
or will it feel strange? 

familiar streets and favourite songs
how could I resist or get this wrong? 
please tell me why it’s not a little clearer now 

empty fields and empty hearts
but at least there’s a crowd to watch my scars 
maybe it’s the comfort that’s killing me 

it’s a familiar place 
but it don’t feel the same 
is it me or you that changed? 
is it me or you that changed?

i’m in a losing game
but i don’t wanna play 
do I leave or do i stay? 
do I leave or do i stay? 

if i do will i feel the same?
or will it feel strange? 

i’m on the midnight train
i’m on the midnight train 
i’m on the midnight train from marylebone 
midnight train from marylebone 

it’s a familiar place 
but it don’t feel the same 
is it me or you that changed? 
is it me or you that changed?

i’m in a losing game
but i don’t wanna play 
do I leave or do i stay? 
do I leave or do i stay? 

on the midnight train
on the midnight train

Lyrics:
You left our party, 
The last one to go,
The eclipse was starting,
You were heading out into the undergrowth

I heard that a stranger, 
Found you laid down, 
Blue in the lips and,
Frost upon your clothes, on the edge of town

You were laying on a razor edge a half a mile away as I sat in bed, oh brother of mine, 
Autumn air became a part of you, in the afterglow, looking up into black holes in the sky

Stood over your bed,
Like a newborn, 
The fangs of a cobra,
Laying at the hooves of a fawn

When the sun moved over the crescent moon

You were laying on a razor edge a half a mile away as I sat in bed, oh brother of mine, 
Autumn air became a part of you, in the afterglow, looking up into black holes in the sky

You were laying on a razor edge a half a mile away as I sat in bed, oh brother of mine, 
Autumn air became a part of you, in the afterglow, looking up into black holes in the sky

I've Been Here Before

Kiss Like This

Summer

Consider Me A Winner

GOING YET!

Stop Thinking About It

lyric:

Never need to see the sun
Cause it's here every time I see your eyes
And when I'm in your arms I feel
My life begins to breathe
Can we just stay here?
Can we just stay?

I learned a thing or two
Like the way you have your morning cup
With a little coffee in your sugar
There's something about you
Just like the way you made me stay inside to spend our days with doing nothing
It's something

Can I pull you closer to me?
Closer, closer, closer
Wrap me with your body dearly
Closer, closer, closer
You're the perfect place to hide in

Never need to see the sun
Cause it's here every time I see your eyes
And when I'm in your arms I feel
My life begins to breathe
Can we just stay here?
Can we just stay?

Even the weather is asking for us to stay
I think the linen's looking cozy
I'll draw the blinds and you can choose what's on tv
How simple love can be

Can I pull you closer to me?
Closer, closer, closer
Wrap me with your body dearly
Closer, closer, closer
You're the perfect place to hide in

Never need to see the sun
Cause it's here every time I see your eyes
And when I'm in your arms I feel
My life begins to breathe
Can we just stay here?
Can we just stay?
