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 July 9: 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/batch291

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 291

"Solvitur Ambulando (Spring version)" is a new piano based single from Matt Mereport (out now !). The piece is named after the Latin phrase “Solvitur Ambulando”, meaning "it is solved by walking". 

It was influenced by the mental relief a walk (urban, countryside or otherwise) can create in these hectic, stressful and anxious times we’re in. 

The piece was released to coincide with this year’s Piano Day (29th March) organised by Nils Frahm. "Solvitur Ambulando (Spring version)" is included on the official Piano Day Spotify playlist, curated by Nils. It’s also available on the usual streaming and download sites.

The official Piano Day 2023 playlist is here:-

Lyrics:

Verse 1

In with the ghostlings 
Lost track of time 
Living though long nights 
Running from our crimes 
Fleeing for 5 hours 
Town side to side 
Colours flood our vision 
The future in our eyes 
Cracked glass 
Black smoke 
As we fall to the floor 
White lights 
Dry air 
Everybody wanting more 
Our lives flash in front of our eyes 
From the train tracks to a sunset 
It’s a night that we’ll never forget 

Chorus x2

We’re painting ghostlings
On the walls 
We’re having long days 
From dusk til dawn 
Having a good time 
Is why we’re here 
Yeah painting ghostlings 
Nothing to fear 

Verse 2 

In with the ghostlings 
From 5 right through 9 
We’re living just like kings 
But we’re never fine 
Drinking forever 
While we’re out in the cold 
Living our pressure 
A sight to behold 

Chorus x2

We’re painting ghostlings
On the walls 
We’re having long days 
From dusk til dawn 
Having a good time 
Is why we’re here 
Yeah painting ghostlings 
Nothing to fear 

Chorus x2

We’re painting ghostlings
On the walls 
We’re having long days 
From dusk til dawn 
Having a good time 
Is why we’re here 
Yeah painting ghostlings 
Nothing to fear

Matt Mereport emerged from the Manchester ship canal to set up home on a small wooded northern hilltop. Armed with a guitar, voice and electronics he creates what he refers to as “music” though many disagree with this tag. Sometimes it’s heavily electronic, sometimes it’s heavily acoustic. Sometimes it’s heavily weighted. It tends to change from day to day. Much like his socks.
