~ new monthly playlist!! March 2022 ~

added to regularly, a mix of new tracks from my favourite artists and exciting new discoveries, mostly made via submissions to my music blog (www.coolmusicandthings.co.uk/) - a chance to share things that I enjoy but might not get round to writing a post about :)

cool music and things: March 2022

Five Things We Liked This Week - 11/03/22

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 7th March: 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/batch439

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
tap the heart
until i hate myself
hit the square 
and rearrange myself 
i don’t like it what it does to me
never makes me want to laugh 
or sing

do you think
about the trees
in the breeze
how they swing
and scream and talk 
and breathe 
i wish i was so tall
and green
swing my branches 
only sing for me

talk to strangers 
like we already met 
even though it hasn’t happened yet
will i be found 
if i’m never met
did the chicken 
come before the egg

i love the people 
playing songs in the park
guitar for babies 
instead of people in the bars
do you think they know 
how good they are 
i think they do they got kids
singing like larks 
they go 

stopped watching movies 
that make me feel 
and you said trash tv
is the best meal
and i reply well none of it’s real
you said i know and i think that’s ideal
but sometimes don’t you wanna 
hit to the heart 
he said he only wondered 
who would play his part 

always wondering about my health 
always wondering if i’ll go to hell
should take some vitamins 
i don’t know what to take
and i should sleep more 
but i’m always wide awake 

i’m not a tree 
i’m in a forest of buildings
i’m not a singer 
i’m just someone 
who’s guilty 
remind me that i don’t have to be anything
remind me that i don’t have to be anything 

i look for signs on the faces of the buildings 
i look for signs on your face of us ending

Gestures

Within Reach

A lucid dream-like adventure where a godlike figure attempts to grant all of a person’s wishes by carving them all kinds of exciting things out of the clouds. But a sad dog keeps appearing so the deity swallows the sky not understanding that the person wanted to confront the whole spectrum of their emotions, including the sad dog chasing them around.

Black Dog

Track one from ep1, the follow-up to amateur theatre group's debut album, races 1990 - 2021. The four-track EP is the beginning of a string of releases planned for 2022, including a second album towards the end of the year. ep1 is out 18 March 2022.

LYRICS:

(VERSE 1)

NO NEED, TO BREAK ME GENTLY
CAUSE I'M BROKEN ALREADY 
I’VE BEEN, THROUGH THIS SHIT PLENTY

SO USED TO IT
SO USED TO IT, NOW

& I KNOW U, DONT WANNA HURT ME
BUT I’M IN, A, BIT OF A HURRY
SO, COULD WE, SPEED UP THE HURT PLZ

OH JUST DO IT
OH JUST DO IT NOW



(HOOK)

BREAK MY HEART, I SWEAR
I WON’T CARE
OF COURSE I’M SCARED

BUT I DONT MIND
GUESS I’LL
FIND OUT, THE HARD WAY

YEAH
YOU’VE MADE IT CLEAR
THAT U DON’T CARE

& BABE THAT’S FINE
GUESS I’LL
FIND OUT THE HARD WAY



(VERSE 2)

I FEEL SO TERRIBLE
THOSE THINGS I SAID TO U
I’M SO UNBEARABLE

& I’M GLAD U LEFT ME
GLAD U LEFT ME

HOPE I GET OVER U
BY 2042
TILL THEN I’LL WAIT FOR U

& I HOPE U LOVE ME
HOPE U LOVE ME, TOO



(HOOK)

BREAK MY HEART, I SWEAR
I WON’T CARE
OF COURSE I’M SCARED

BUT I DONT MIND
GUESS I’LL
FIND OUT, THE HARD WAY

YEAH
YOU’VE MADE IT CLEAR
THAT U DON’T CARE

& BABE THAT’S FINE
GUESS I’LL
FIND OUT THE HARD WAY



(BRIDGE)

U DONT LOVE ME
BUT U USED TO BABE

I'M STILL TRYING
TO GET USED TO IT

I KNOW I
DESERVE THIS MISERY

BUT THIS HEARTBREAKS
FUCKING KILLIN ME

LAST THING I SAID
WAS "UR DEAD TO ME"

I GUESS THAT MAKES THIS
A EULOGY

& AFTER ALL THAT
U DID TO ME

I STILL HOPE U



(HOOK)

BREAK MY HEART, I SWEAR
I WON’T CARE
OF COURSE I’M SCARED

BUT I DONT MIND
GUESS I’LL
FIND OUT, THE HARD WAY

YEAH
YOU’VE MADE IT CLEAR
THAT U DON’T CARE

& BABE THAT’S FINE
GUESS I’LL
FIND OUT THE HARD WAY




THE END

Mickey Darling - FIND OUT THE HARD WAY

Acapella version of 'Parachute'-
To get that ear worm fed until the final version is out!

Parachute Acapella

SOMETHING WORTH SAYING (feat. Bensbeendead.)

Edinburgh-born Lewis McLaughlin was inspired by the likes of John Martyn and Villagers to begin writing and recording his own songs. He has performed across Europe in various outfits, accompanying his father at folk shows and playing with his brother in a folk duo before going solo. 

 

A life-affirming listen, ‘Feel The Ground You Walk Upon’ in one moment will have you misty-eyed, wishing you could hold a pint aloft with your dearest pals and in the next, have you contemplating your most intense personal struggles. All the while Mclaughlin’s warm timbre blazes perpetually, unifying and comforting the lost souls that gather in its glow.
