Sad song' it's time to cry  ಥ_ಥ

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 30th June 2025: 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/batch576

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
----------------
Hey, this is a story I hate
And telling it might make me break
But I'll tell it anyway

This chapter's about
How you said there was nobody else
Then you got up and went to her house
You guys always left me out

I still have the letter you wrote
When you told me that I was the only girl
You'd ever want in your life
I guess my friends were right

Each day goes by and each night, I cry
Somebody saw you with her last night
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
You might love her now, but you loved me first
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are
Oh, you swore on every star
How could you be so reckless with my heart?

You check in and out
Of my heart like a hotel
And she must be perfect, oh well
I hope you both go to hell

I still have the letter you wrote
When you told me that I was the only girl
You'd ever want in your life
I guess my friends were right

Each day goes by and each night, I cry
Somebody saw you with her last night
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
You might love her now, but you loved me first
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are (here we are)
Oh, you swore on every star
How could you be so reckless with my heart? (Heart)

How could you be so reckless?
How could you be so reckless?
How could you be so reckless with someone's heart?

Hey, this is a story I hate
But I told it to cope with the pain
I'm so sorry if you can relate

Reckless

She Drives Me Crazy
by Fine Young Cannibals

Lyrics:
I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do - don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're running out of time
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do

He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

He drives me Crazy

He Drives Me Crazy

SINDEX PREMIERE: Patrick Watson - Je Te Laisserai Des Mots - (MAURER Rework)

Rough Patch

This song is a powerful country anthem that takes a stand against the unrealistic standards women face, especially on social media, as they age. The lyrics speak directly to the pressures of being judged and criticized, while reinforcing the strength and independence of women who refuse to be defined by others’ expectations. An unapologetic declaration of self-worth and resilience, the bright country pop feel is driven by a powerful drum track and guitar parts, carefully building with the intensity as the song unfolds. The mood shifts in the bridge, softening with the inclusion of strings and shimmering synths, offering a vulnerable, reflective moment before building back into a triumphant power ballad, leaving listeners with a sense of victory and pride. This is a song that champions female empowerment, resilience, and the refusal to conform to society's narrow view of beauty and success.

To Grow Old

Gotta LUV Your Home

“January Eleven” was composed on January 11, 2025, while devastating fires were raging near the Los Angeles area. On that day, a displaced family found refuge in my home, their spirits unwavering despite uncertain circumstances. Their optimism stood in stark contrast to the looming threat of the flames, reminding me how quickly our comforts can slip away. This neoclassical solo piano piece channels the turmoil into a soothing, reflective sound, evoking both the fragility of our possessions and the strength of a community that unites in times of crisis. It’s a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of compassion.

Our June single in our attempt to release a single every month of 2025. Summery song for a summery month !

One way you really know how
Two actually understand
That gets deflected anyway
Is A Inner psyche audit
Because your leaking out
You bled it all away

This song was written years ago at a time in my life when I was tired of holding on to the self doubt I had about myself or the outside “Noise” from people who didn’t believe in me. It was a message to myself of finally letting go of people’s opinions. It also expressed how I was reflecting on myself and how I just “didn’t care anymore”. I was just wanting to let it all go.
