Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon, 8 October: from midday on Friday 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/batch299

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Lyrics:
So this is entertainment, I give you what you want
I’m signing up for something, not sure I’m good enough
The weight of your opinion, you’d be surprised how deep it dives

Wade through the muddy water, up to my waist in dirt
This current pushing backwards, will I be overturned?
Your raft rolls down the river, drag me in over the port-side
You and I

It’s so strange, but isn’t everybody in the whole world the same?
We just wake up
And suddenly we're trying to make the best of what’s already made
Hold up now

Ooh, ooh
Wait a minute, little bit torn up I admit it
Guess I better push myself to the limit
Cause I don’t wanna wait forever
Ooh, ooh
No worries, gotta play the long game but no hurry
Yeah you know I work hard for my money
But I don’t wanna wait, oh yeah
It won’t be easy everyday, and you might not get this right away
You just gotta believe

I’ll spend the whole day, dreaming
I’ll do things the hard way if I spend
All day, dreaming
I’ll do things the hard way if I spend
All day, dreaming
I’ll do things the hard way if I spend

Wait a minute, little bit torn up I admit it
Guess I better push myself to the limit
Cause I don’t wanna wait forever
Ooh, ooh
No worries, gotta play the long game but no hurry
Yeah you know I work hard for my money
But I don’t wanna wait, oh yeah
It won’t be easy everyday, and you might not get this right away
You just gotta believe
