Name: Century Man by MichaelReich in ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 444
Duration: 4 min 15 s
Description: From my latest release "Writing on the Wall"

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 25th April, 2022: 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/batch444

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.

Under frozen dreams, not breathing
We would have to hide our love away
A ball and chain
To keep us down
But within the dark, our feelings flowed
And within our hearts, our strength has showed
Our wings have grown
Let’s break away

Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Touch me, I’ll never be the same again
Teach me, teach me to believe in myself
Because I need your love
Don’t you know I need your love

Like drifting leaves, we’re moving
Now the fallen tree has washed away
A new pathway to take us home
Will you share with me this brand new day
And upon the sea, our hopes can sail
Blaze a trail
Lead the way

Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Touch me, I’ll never be the same again
Teach me, teach me to believe in myself
Because I need your love
Don’t you know I need your love

And if I get scared, talk to me
Let my feelings float on the stream
Help me try to understand
To believe

If you stop to dare, talk to me
Let your feelings float on the breeze
I’m always here to help you land
On solid ground

Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Touch me, I’ll never be the same again
Take my hand
Together we can find ourselves
Touch me, I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same
Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Because I need your love
Don’t you know I need your love

Need Your Love

A spirited performer with a powerful voice and magnetic stage presence would be one way of summing up artist Michael Reich. For over 20 years, this singer/songwriter and guitarist has been captivating audiences with his memorable melodies and intelligent lyrics. Born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on April 6, 1959, Michael grew up in the rural highlands and was attracted to music at an early age. Around age 13, he began practicing the guitar; he was composing music by the time he was eighteen. After graduating from Meyersdale High School in 1977, Michael attended business school. He also studied broadcasting and worked in radio before trying his hand as a professional musician. Michael has currently released four albums: Pushing Hard to the Shore (1989), Before I Let It Go (2000), Who’s Minding The Store (2003) and Writing on the Wall (2008).  He is inspired by all that surrounds him and in turn produces music on a variety of subjects and emotional topics.  Michael’s distinctive blend of pop, folk and rock ensures a unique sound, yet it is entirely possible to discern similarities between the artist and some of his influences most notably rock icons Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Since 1981, Michael has been a member of ASCAP and has received accolades from their awards panel. He has traveled extensively across the tri-city area performing with different bands. Noted for his abilities as a lyricist, Michael has been chosen to showcase at the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA, for the last six years. His music receives airplay on radio and internet stations around the world. In 2003, his release Who’s Minding The Store was added to top ten lists for the year by Pennsylvania Musician Magazine. Michael has recently released his fourth album Writing On The Wall with multi-platinum producer Mark S. Berry (IME, David Bowie, Yes, Killjoys, Duran Duran). His latest album was recorded at Zolis Audio in Toronto, Canada and released by Attack/Universal Records with publishing by CherryLane (Elvis Presley, John Denver, Black Eyed Peas).  In 2006 he performed for music industry representatives in New Orleans as part of the Cutting Edge Music Conference.  2007 & 2008 have advanced Mr. Reich’s career with his tracks appearing on charts all over the internet.  More good news followed with his track “Turning on a Dime” being inserted into an independent movie entitled “In Love” produced/directed by Izidore K.Musallam.  In 2009 “Turning on a Dime” again was singled out as the grand prize winning song in the Music Universe Song Writing Contest held by Uplaya.com sponsored by American Songwriter.  The same track was also runner-up in the Song of the Year contest as well. He is currently preparing to hit the studio again with a batch of new material.   As a powerful and memorable performer, it’s likely that Michael Reich will be serenading the masses for years to come.
