Wordsmiths and Storytellers

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 19 November: 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/batch305

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.

"Out of Square is a reflection of not fitting in, watching yourself fall out of the square you’ve tried to fit into. This track is also about change and growth - a growing plant, thought, relationship or feeling." (@juliagjertsen) The track is the 2nd single from her upcoming sophomore LP Formations out 28 January. The record presents a collection of 10 beautiful, texture filled ambient pieces where Julia weaves her signature stacks of piano & synth layers with electronic programming and the atmospheric stylings of Australian flautist Rowan Hamwood.

Everlasting

One of my favourite live songs. This track discusses the topic of how easy it is to find oneself inadvertently in the wrong place at the wrong time. Could happen to anyone.

Rob Yeatman – Crash The Gates (From 'Wheel Of Life' EP)

Lady sleeping 
Sleeping on a concrete floor 
Not a hotel 
Barricades and steel door 

If I, If I 
Wielded power or great might 
I'd crash, I'd crash
Crash the gates and fly you home tonight 

Big bird soaring 
Cross the limitless sky 
Hidden somewhere 
Hidden somewhere out of sight 
I see, I see 
Shadows slipping through the night 
I'd crash, I'd crash 
Crash the gates and fly you home tonight 

Lady sleeping

Ten Thousand Miles

I have a fire, a fire deep inside
Tried everything to put it out
Poured on water, threw water all around
Nearly drowned but I couldn’t put it out

I’d fly 10 000 miles to be back in my city
Fly 10 000 miles to hold you in my arms again
Fly 10 000 miles to be back with my pretty
Fly 10 000 miles to hold you in my arms again

I’m coming home
Darling again

There’s a tree, like a flame tree
Growing inside of me, taking all the space
I took an axe and I took a sharpening stone
Cut it down, cut it down to the ground

DarkLight - Ten Thousand Miles

The One Who Never Runs is a pop folk ballad written by Julien Poirier and sung by Julien Poirier and Malaika Brandt-Murenzi. It was then remastered by Snackbar Productions.

Listen to the original unplugged version here: https://soundcloud.com/the-sunset-vibe/julien-poirier-the-one-who-never-runs-free-download

lyrics:

yeah there's this girl 
who never wants to leave this world 
she stays at home cause she knows it's safe 

she's so afraid 
to become like her simple minded friends 
who start new trends, just to watch them die 

but I guess that's just the way it goes 
nobody knows what's it's like to become 
the one who never runs 

a winters day 
she looks outside her bedroom window 
she sees all the kids playing in the snow 

their innocence 
brings tears to her eyes 
they're still living in a beautiful lie 

but I guess thats just, the way it goes 
nobody knows what's it's like to become 
the one who never runs 

so listen here you beautiful thing 
there's nothing wrong with being afraid 

tomorrow's unknown and yesterdays lost 
but you're safe today, yeah you're safe today 

so step outside and enjoy this sunny winter day 

tomorrow is just another today so don't be scared to run out and play

Heart strings honey
Falling like blossom leaves
Sugar words honey
Falling down like dust

Kiss and make up
I've already forgotten
By the light of this moon
I've already forgiven
Sparkles in the dark
I've already forgotten
Writings on the wall
I've already forgiven

Heart strings honey
Falling like apple trees
Sweet words honey
Drifting down like rain
Eat it up honey

Kiss and make up
I've already forgotten
By the light of this moon
I've already forgiven
Sparkles in the dark
I've already forgotten
Writings on the wall
I've already forgiven
You

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all my friends, followers and listeners x
I appreciate all of you x

Grey City Lyrics:

So tell me, tell me where I'm going
I can't see ahead and I can't hear either
Yeah, teach me, teach me all your wisdom
I just want to know

I've been running around this town again
Looking for a father looking for a friend
The rain drops fall right through my soul
Like a crack head looking for another bowl

I see the buildings piercing through the sky
A million angry men living in a lie
A small boy looking for his lost dog
But It's impossible to see through all this fog

My steps start to feel heavy again
I don't ask myself where, I ask myself when
Cause the ticking of a clock is frightening
With tears of rain, these buildings are all crying

They just want to leave, just want to be free
But they know that's just a dream, a distant memory
I walk up to one and say it'll be okay
But he knows I said the same thing yesterday

I try to go inside but the doors locked
I reach into my pocket and pull out a clock
I look at the time, 3:15 it says
Only 3 hours till I go to bed

I start to panick, I start to sweat
I touch my hair, it's soaking wet
Is it from the sweat or from the rain
I try to keep calm try to fight the pain

but It creeps up on me from behind
I take out my clock and press rewind
But it's too late, the cities turned dark
Not a single tree left, not a single park

I look for an exit to escape this mess
But it's hard to see through this brick of stress
I fall to my knees, my worlds turned grey
look up at the stars and say

So tell me, tell me where I'm going
I can't see ahead and I can't hear either
Yeah, teach me, teach me all your wisdom
I just want to know

Can you try
to teach me how yeah teach me how to fight

Cause I don't know where I'm sleeping tonight

I tried so hard to find a different song

But I don't even know which song i'm on 

Tell me tell me where I'm going 
I just want to know

Ask me Ask me what I'm thinking
I'll tell you what I know
 
Show me show me a good feeling
Take me to the show

Tell me tell me where I'm going
I just wanna know

Godspeed

I want to know your secrets
What lives under your skin?
Such a calm appearance
Show me cracks to gaze in
What lies in the distance you keep?
What do you hide underneath?

‘cause you paint with the same colours that I use
And you hold up a mirror 
It leaves me confused
Do you know me?

Now your mask is fading
So close I want to touch
But I am mistaken
When I look for love
You say that your heart is mechanical
Not worth bleeding for

Still you paint with the same colours that I use
And you hold up a mirror 
It leaves me confused

Don't I know you?
Don't I know you?
Under the surface I saw 
the boy that you hide in the dark
Safe on his own

Still you paint with the same colours that I use
And you hold up a mirror 
It leaves me confused
Don’t you know me?

Paint With The Same Colours

Dutch singer-songwriter Maaike Siegerist relocated to the UK to study music after an inspiring songwriting retreat in Dumfries and Galloway in 2013. Now based in Glasgow, she blends acoustic jazz, folk rock, and electronica, writing vivid, story-driven songs about travel, love, fascinating people, animals, and outer space. Her work has picked up multiple songwriting awards and praise from BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson for her “delicate vocal, poised production, gorgeous chord changes.”

She’s also the vocalist for Scottish prog rock band Long Earth and releases haunting and otherworldly music as Dora Lachaise.

“Maaike’s voice is butterflies-inducing.”
– Neil March, Trust the Doc
