Listening Post: Batch 568

A song about staying when you should leave...
Written by Florance/Fox Allen from the album 'Somewhere Down the Line'

Part of the Lyrics:
I have tasted the bittersweet flavour 
of a love that’s turned sour, 
felt the weight of a heart so heavy 
carried through those long dark hours...
I have kept a box full of memories 
of another life and time, 
rewritten the rule book when the words 
of love don’t rhyme...

Tired

This song vividly yet tenderly captures the difficulty of taking steps into a loving relationship after brutal behaviour from others has destroyed your sense of self. In a powerful blow to the heart, To Be Known offers the hope that everyone can learn to be valued and seen even if life has taught them otherwise until now.

Producer: Phil Saatchi

Bite Me!

To Be Known

Deflating doll
Bouncing around
In every direction
I'm fine
Gasping for air
I'm running out
I am slowly running out
I'm fine

Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces
Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces

Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together

I'm fine

Sad yet inspirational, this anti-bullying anthem combines acoustic guitar with orchestral strings in an epic singersongwriter style. Born from Amelie's experience of being bullied at school, she hopes to raise awareness of the issue, and inspire others who have been or are going through tough times.

Made It Through (Unplugged Remix)

Michelle Ward and Ed Rome have a great track record of collaborations, and this new take on "What I Wanted" seems like a bold and creative departure from its reggae roots. The mix of drum and bass influences, layered harmonies, and Michelle's distinctive vocals should make for a compelling listen. Brass is by the legendary Jonathan Read .  "The original reggae version of the song was set to be released and I wondered if changing the drums to make it super up-tempo would work and it did. After much editing, chopping, additional harmonies, bass lines and keys, we have What I Wanted (Avoidant Mix). The original reggae mix will be out in June.

Besides creating music, Michelle also has a daytime radio show on Phoenix FM called Eat my Brunch where she champions independent music, 5 days a week. "There is so much amazing independent music, its just good to open your ears to something new". www.phoenixfm.com 



What I Wanted (Avoidant Mix)

'Tabula Rasa' explores the the itch to shake off the past and start again with a blank slate. It's the third single from Bethany's upcoming EP The Story I Breathe.

Lyrics: 

Took a while to get to this place
Been put down and picked apart
What’s the point of the smile on this face
When it’s barely half-arsed

Go where you’re wanted
Life’s too short for people like that
While we fake it
We’re just working for free
And it ain’t coming back

Now I have some questions
Like, how much of my time are you worth?
What do we owe each other? 
When does constructive turn into perverse? 

Go where you’re wanted
Life’s too short for people like that
While we fake it
We’re just working for free
And it ain’t coming back

Go where you’re wanted
Go to the ones where you feel like yourself
Why the waiting?
It is what it is
Don’t take offense 

The circle is getting smaller
Maybe that’s just what I need
There is home in each other
I made a village for me

Go where you’re wanted
Life’s too short for people like that
While we fake it
We are just working for free
And it ain’t coming back

Go where you’re wanted
Go to the ones where you feel like yourself
Why the waiting?
It is what it is
Don’t take offense

RUN FROM LOVE

Singer Songwriter Michelle Ward creating soulful, jazzy, pop, reggae influenced original music.



Debut EP - DIRECTIONS is out 26.10.22 with TRY being the first release.

I am normally on the other side of music; I am a radio presenter on Phoenix FM. I 'm the person that arists send their music for radio play. I love my independent music and play at least four tracks every single day on my daytime radio show. This is all a bit strange for me, sending music for airplay and promoting my own tunes.

I have been writing and recording for a good few years and this is my first EP. I have much more music to come! Putting music out there, I guess I put it off for a long time but now I think, here it is! If I gain a listener to my music that would be beautiful. 

Genre, I'm saying its soulful, jazzy, reggae, folk mixture.

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.
