This is my favourite point in a bloody fantastic song.

I started out doing folk. This is a lovely blend.

I think you have a lot of the Irish in ya Johann.

Thank you for submitting the lyrics, too.

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 13 May: 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/batch325

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 325

Who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows? Only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose? Only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies? Only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies? Only time

Who can say when the roads meet?
That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose? Only time
And who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows? Only time

Who knows? Only time
Who knows? Only time

Only Time (Enya Cover)

When you give it your all you cant say you didn't try in the end 
and everything happens for a reason in this world

I Can't Say

“Atlantic to Adriatic” is an album built on connection — across distance, time, and sound. A collaboration spanning oceans, the record transforms each track into a shared space where field recordings, classical instrumentation, and synthesizers intertwine to evoke memory, place, and movement. Every piece emerges from the intersection of our two worlds — Venice and Boston — bridging geography and time to create something timeless.

«A distant call for a close encounter.
The Salamandra Duo presents us with a true and complete instrumental dialogue: At times questioning, at others imperative, but always peremptory
in the nuances of rhythm and the layers of dialogue it offers us».

«Distant Call is an album created remotely, cooked about 2 years ago by drum recordings by João Svayam (three drum tracks) and the additions of various instruments by Leonel Cardoso (who recycled these three drum tracks to create these themes that we have here today, in addition to other b sides). By that time both were collaborating on a improvisation band called Salamandra, connected to our sister label Partícula Records.
Distant Call is just like a time travel: between pure science fiction and impossible-to-deny facts born from any conspiracy theory.»
𝘕𝘢̄𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶

«As if two salamanders from a larger group decided to create a new flock to explore more individual questions of their existence, this Distant Call was born. It's not the first, and it certainly won't be the last, Salamandra album that I've been asked to listen to and write about... And I always have this feeling of fulfillment and certainty that everything in the Universe is in its correct order: even when it involves some pathology of dissociation. An amazing work of recycling sounds»

Calling from a distant place

sk- 
how do you sing through all the pain?
everything is falling, all in vain

you don't hold back, you don’t let go,
living in the dark, but you still go
after all that’s been done 
caught up in chains, you break through—

you sing through the pain? ohhh


Who’s got that love? It's you.
Who’s patient, kind, and never cruel?

still on your feet,
shining so bright 
Burned by fire, but you won’t say goodbye—
never give up, the world's unkind
buried deep, hopes and dreams
still you sing, you shine

Still, You Sing - Tubodj ft Sk

I can still recall the playground
by the Wal-Mart parking lot
a browned-eyed girl with freckles   
Hand in mine in our secret spot
We used to share a Mars bar
when it was all we could afford
This town was all we knew about
the world not yet explored 

Now the ships are sailing
as the tide is turning
but I just can not leave     
not without you   
without you
A Greyhound ticket
in my back pocket
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you

Sitting on the railway bridge
where the trains no longer go
We watched the burning sunset
then jumped into the stream below 
And later by the riverside
our jeans hung up to dry
I kissed you for the first time
beneath the starry sky

Now the ships are sailing
as the tide is turning
but I just can not leave     
not without you   
without you
A Greyhound ticket
in my back pocket
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you

You dropped out of high school
and I barely made it through
Cos who needs books and rulers  
when the world's waiting for you
These days I work construction
and nights you work the bar
but our pockets are still empty
dreams only go so far
  	
Now the ships are sailing
as the tide is turning
but I just can not leave     
not without you   
without you
A Greyhound ticket
in my back pocket
but I just can not leave
not without you
without you

Without You

Lyrics:

By the pale light of the star
400 light years away
I can see you dream tonight
As clear as it was day

And I know that they will see
Through the dark matter of their night
Long after it’s burnt away
Your illuminating light

Light, your illuminating light
In the night, reflecting in the night

Polaris you show the way
A lighthouse in the storm
There’s no way we can break
The gravitational pull

Sometimes the clouds fill the sky
Into hiding you must go
Till the solar winds bring you back
And the heavens are aglow

Aglow, the heavens are aglow
Down below, reflected down below

Let us ride towards the stars
You can guide us on the way
And I will follow my true north
Until the break of day

Far away, far away
Far, far, far away
Far away, far away
Far, far away

Far, far away
Far, far away

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.

Swedish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Johan Alm's solo project, Jambrains, is like a Kinder Surprise: you never know exactly what you are going to get but you know it's going to be tasty and expertly packaged. His music is a fusion of strong melodies and the power of guitars en masse with just a pinch of folk thrown in for good measure.

After paying his dues in numerous bands over the years, 2014 saw the birth of Jambrains as a vehicle for Johan to deliver what he calls "power with melody". "I had so many ideas and was writing so many songs but it was just too difficult to find the time to rehearse them with the band, let alone perform or record them. I had two choices - go solo or go insane", he explains.

At the beginning there was no well-defined Jambrains sound - guitars were always a key ingredient but doing lead vocals was new to Johan and style-wise, the songs were very diverse. Eventually a pattern emerged centred around the power and energy of classic rock with the melodies, harmonies and hooks of pop peppered with the ever-present undertow of folk.

The debut album '900 Days' was released in December 2016 and was well received. "It’s personal and fun, and always accompanied by amazing guitar", one review said.  "I wanted to sort of document the first 900 days of Jambrains, so I selected my 12 favorite songs and remixed/remastered them for the album", says Johan. '900 Days' is a perfect introduction to the evolution of the distinctive sound of Jambrains.

The follow up EP 'Life, Love & Lies' was released in September 2017. "This time I wanted more coherent material with regard to both songwriting and production", says Johan. Where the material for the first album was written and recorded over a period stretching over more than 2 years, 'Life, Love & Lies' was written and recorded over the course of 6 months and as a result, the second Jambrains release does sound tighter and more focused.

The third EP Faded Dreams was release in July 2018 and was well received. Johan is currently finalising the a fourth EP named Lost Horizons scheduled for the third quarter of 2019.
