dang, this sound is so rad, lovely playing y'all!

I absolutely did not expect the change around 1:30 - snaaaaap.

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 15 March: 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/batch399

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 399

Wouldn't It Be Good If We Talk To The Trees

Streets full of houses bolted, barred, blinds drawn tight, no lights, no cars,
No room to let, I’m home again. 
Home for heroes after war / to see what they were fighting for

HOME FOR HEROES

Buttercup is a track about feeling really far away from yourself and trying to do things to bring you closer to yourself… And when all else fails you just gotta have a dance party

Buttercup

Lyrics:
You been making, you been rolling
Stay outspoken
Drop the beat and hold the focus
When your searching for some meaning
But you can't seem to get out of your way

You got to love what you're doing
See it through and let it be a part of you
Find a new way to tell an old thing
To make 'em all sing
Find a new way

Tell me about your love 
Tell me about your schedule
Are you cooking up
Your big potential?
Know that your feeling rough
But please don't be argumental
I'm not giving up 
On someone special
Someone special

It's fair to need a moment
When your brain is overflowing
With all the fires you've been stoking
And all the power that your holding
Well can you sow it into fields of your unfolding

Because you love what you do so
See it through
Watch it blossom around you
They say that pressure makes a diamond
So your digging trying to find it 
The brilliance under you

Tell me about your love
Tell me about your schedule
Are you cooking up
Your big potential?
I know that your feeling rough
But please don't be argumental
I’m not giving up 
On someone special

Nothing too deep about it
Making some time and space 
Like wind through the trees
We can just be elemental                            
So tell me about your love 
Just one thing about your love

The more you see, the more you get
(The more you get)
The best of me, forget
(You get the best of me, best forget)
The past and keep no regrets
(The more that you see, the more that you get)
The more you see
The more you get, yeah

Tell me about your love 
Tell me about your schedule 
Are you cooking up
Your big potential?
I know that your feeling rough
But please don't be argumental
I’m not giving up 
On someone special

Life is the meaning of
All of this time and space
Like honey to bees
You are to me elemental
So tell me about your love 
Just one thing about your love
It’s something special

Oh, we're something special
Woah, we're something special
Baby, baby, baby, baby, we're something special
The more, we're something special
Ey, ey, the best of me it's something special
The more, the more, the more, the more
We're something special

Something Special
