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 8th September 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/batch580 

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Breaking Sunshine

Lyrics:

"You went away
Just yesterday
Cos you couldn’t face
That the times had changed

We watched the stars
From your beat up car
To be so close
And still so far
Put my trust in you
(did I ask you to)
You were all run down
(well I guess that’s true)

So no, I’m not right, Dad
But go, I’ll find my way back

I was down and out
When I heard you shout
Was it over or
Just beginning now
You hit a wall
(you're one to talk)
Did my best for you 
(well I needed more)

So no, I'm not right, Dad
But go, I'll find my way back

I was down and out (down and out)
When I heard you shout (heard you shout)
Was it over or (over)
Just beginning now
You hit a wall
(you're one to talk)
Did my best for you 
(well I needed more)

Cos I love you baby
So what's your hurry
I caught you running
But not from me
I saw my chance
So I had to ask
But now I see
There's no turning back

So no, I'm not right, Dad"
