Any artist is welcome to send us ONE 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 10th April: from mid-day 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/batch236

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

Exist

SUNNY

Our man has fallen for a lady of the night named Sunny and he thinks he can take care of her, save her from men who puzzle her existence and all the rest of that Roxanne bullshit. However as the song goes on our boy's initial confidence and certitude begins to wane and he can't save himself from the very crime he wants to save her from. His care turns into lust, his lust turns into naivety and his naivety is used in question against her on whether she actually wants to be saved. Questions of love, questions of time; he then looks at his own place in the world. This is Sunny.

Lyrics:

Put on something different for me
Lying with your mind disarms, but won’t make me leave
Your wondrous eyes tell me the things that you hold so deep 
I’ll tell you where the sun looks better
I can’t believe we’re wasting it
Put on something different for me
Tell your boy I’ll pay the fifteen

I know the games of chance that you play at night
Your fingertips amidst the moonlight
Does a man go make you feel, Sun?
What makes you think you gotta be like that?
Why you on the floor?
I was talking to myself
Ways that I imagine you
Oh I’m such a little boy
Telling you I’m the man 
Makes me stay up late at night

Would you want somebody to love you?
Would you want somebody to dare?
Would you want somebody to hurt you?
Do you even think that you’d care?
Would you want somebody to be the man
Would you want somebody who could tell you how this ends?
Would you pretend?

Take me, take me baby boy
Put on something different for me
I’ll tell you what to do babe, baby
Worry no more, no more

Do you ever feel like you’re the fool?
Pantomiming as your mind disowns you
As you undress yourself in the corner of a hotel room
I’m mumbling words that I could say to you
About where you are in all your dreams
(He likes to tell you it’s real)
Or your curves beneath those midnight seams
(He longs to know what to do)
As the sun shines upon yesterday
(He wonders how he should feel)
I’ve lost myself somewhere in between

Millions of miles above
Visions of days now gone
My baby, are we lost forever or here right now?
Minds unborn or fated somehow?
Am I supposed to bare you my heart
Sure as sun lights up the day?

'DIY, R&B music infused with Folk, Soul, Rock, Jazz and whatever sound that seems appropriate at the time to tell tales of the human condition. Once a purist of seventies singer-songwriter soul searching, and now a stranger in a dark room writing, producing and making weird noises on a laptop. Formerly the lead man of ‘Wild Rossa And The ’88’, LAPP is now attempting to do a Zayn, form his very own one man wolf pack and see how many fellow weirdos he can find along the way who, hopefully, might dig the tunes as well.'
