A Mid Summer's Night Stream

SoundCloud Favorites - Thanks for the Music!

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 21st October: from around midday on Friday 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/batch341

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 SoundCloud Go tracks, which can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted will also be removed.

Pictures of You
Shadows on the Walls
Likeness of You
Everywhere I Go

The city Lights
Talk to the stars Above
Telling them About 
The sweet love we once Had

I laugh at Myself
Light up a Cigarette
And try to Forget 
Before the pain sets in

The redness in your Eyes
The black lines around your Lips
The texture of your Hips
Reminds me of one of my fathers Ties

The curtains Blew
From winds that came from way up High
I was sitting on the Edge
So I just got High
And remembered You

Pictures of You
Shadows on the Walls
The likeness of You
Follows me everywhere I Go

Unity

Don't give me your body if I can't have your soul 
Struggle to find something to fill this hole 
I get high because I feel so low 
People you've gotta try not to be so cold....to your brotha

Don't let those rumors contaminate your mind 
The truth will free you of this bondage in time 
People come together, you've gotta do it quick 
You've gotta care for your brother when he gets sick
You’ve gotta stand firm, join hands and help someone
You can only regret what you have not done

Come together, Jah Love, Come together children

—Chorus—
We need Peace, We need Love, We need Unity
 Down with hate, down with violence, down with brutality

We've turned guns each other every day and night 
Nobody even remembers what is wrong and what is right 
The government argues with them self to avoid any resolution 
People need hope so they cry revolution

Come together, Jah Love

—Chorus— 

—Bridge—
You, you, me, me, All we need is Unity
Peace, Love, You, Me, All we need is Unity
Unity and Love

Greed is a disease of the mind and the soul
Only culture may save us from losing control
Children must seek the truth, don’t hesitate
You’ve got the power to save this world from certain fate
One man is weak, community stands firm
Educate your brother and the world will learn

Come together, Jah Love, One Nation, I-ration!

—Chorus—

the-groove

It’s just another Saturday night
And I don’t feel right
I can’t seem to get myself in the groove 

It seems no matter what I try
I can’t even get myself high
I can’t get into the groove

I guess it’s just not all that big a deal
I guess I’ll have to be myself
I’ll have to be real, real, real

Just as long as I have you by my side
I’ll have myself a natural high 
I’ll find the groove

I guess that will just have to do
Were gonna get into it
Gonna find the groove me & you

Technicolor Dreams

Don't wanna sing no protest songs
DON'T WANNA LEAVE NO CAPS LOCK ON
Don't wanna kick against the parliament pricks
I just wanna sing some hippy shit

Don't wanna shout and vent my spleen
Don't wanna break the hate machine
Don't wanna show they're lying gits
I just wanna sing some hippy shit

But hippy shit will have to wait
While I hate the world that loves to hate
Gonna fight for days where love is it
And then we'll sing some hippy shit

Don't wanna march on revolution street
Don't wanna rail against the ruling elite
Don't wanna tell the man he needs to quit
I just wanna sing some hippy shit

Gonna say no to stupid baby men
Gonna say no to stupid war again
Gonna say no to stupid racist dicks
Gonna say yes to some hippy shit

Some Hippy Shit

This is a song about a girl that I really loved. Things just didn't work out. I am still hurt a little, so I made a song to release what's left inside. Inhale, exhale... new beginnings.

Love Language Speaks

'Run Run' explores my depression at a time when everything becomes too much and I need to escape. When I'm this far deep I feel ethereal, on the outside, unable to be present yet knowing that I 'should' be combatting this force.

Sunday in Amsterdam - Half Blind Lucy

Lyrics:

you can't fight the feeling you get inside
it tells you everything you hear is true
try look to the sky but our heads are firmly fixed to the ground
no one asks why and nobody makes a sound

we're fed the same lies from the day we're born till the day we die
we're left blind from the things that are true to the naked eye
There's something inside that's stopping us from feeling alive
but i know why you're fine with this
it's the illusion of happiness

we've got no voice apart from the one that gives us choice
but you choose to be something that doesn't set you free
when our dreams of fun slowly wash away in the sand
you won't run scared of losing what you never had

we're fed the same lies from the day we're born till the day we die
we're left blind from the things that are true to the naked eye
there's something inside that's stopping us from feeling alive
but i know why you're fine with this
it's the illusion of

we're fed the same lies from the day we're born till the day we die
we're left blind from the things that are true to the naked eye
there's something inside that's stopping us from feeling alive
but i know why you're fine with this
it's the illusion of happiness

illusion of happiness

Lonely Heart

You called my name
I called your bluff
Your heart was so empty
I couldn’t fill it up

Jealous eyes
Lonely heart
Let’s stop all this fighting 
Take me back to the start

—chorus—
Closer now
Closer now than ever

You dealt out blame
I wouldn’t accept it
Can’t be wrong all the time
But you know that’s how you saw it

—chorus—

—bridge
Well I tried so hard
But it seems like your mind was decided
You portrayed the victim
But it was me that ended up gaslighted


Closer now
Closer now than ever
Closer now
I'm getting ready to leave forever

Lonely Heart

'Wry Genius' -Mojo Magazine

Congratulations, you have stumbled across The Sturmey Archers time capsule that has lain buried beneath the Soundcloud sunken garden since the beginning of the 21st century. No doubt you are reading this from a future where music has become just that stuff in the background of funny video clips of dogs and babies. But historians amongst you will probably of heard of a time when music actually meant something to people. 

In the second decade of the 21st century a law was passed that decreed that all lyrics to songs should be about 'this night being the one' and stuff about 'putting your hands in the air'. These were strange times when songs about unique thoughts that sprung into individual's minds were considered retro, but musicians that copied German bands from thirty years previously were thought to still be original.

It was in the context of these times that small groups of renegade songwriters decided to carry on with the virtues of rock and pop's golden age and actually write songs about things, thoughts, feelings and other stuff. These were sometimes profound and and sometimes silly, but the words meant something, the music was playful and adventurous, and the tunes could be whistled by milkmen if they ever got the chance to hear them. They were on a mission to be at the very least, mildly entertaining.

Eminent musicologists of the time scoured the planet to find examples of this music that wasn't rubbish so they could bury it for future generations to enjoy. You now, the lucky archaeologist and future pop picker, have in your grasp the key to a world of wry world play, mad thoughts and old fashioned chord progressions. N.B. If Apes have taken over the planet, sorry for all the trouble we've caused.
