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 13th March 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/batch481

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.

POLARCHORAL

Winter

Winter (Radio Edit)

Mind the gaps, don’t fall through cracks and leave all stones unturned.
There’s truth in lies, you won’t always get what you have earned.
Wandering in the wilderness will get you nowhere slow
if you have no place to go.
This isn’t how it is, this isn’t what we do.
The laws of gravity push down on your youth
and for every bad hangover there’s another sober thought.
Love can’t be taught.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Space and time make children of us all.
The universe holds each of us both big and very small.
From up above we look like love, lonely and so blue
and almost true
with action and purpose, subtlety and poise
but when decency fails, honesty annoys.
When only trivia prevails after all is said and gone 
truth hangs on.
