Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 3 June: from 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/batch328

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Gliding Towards Oblivion

"Gliding Towards Oblivion"

Lyrics:

Oh they say that you're a hero, i'm telling you you're not. You're just a puppy for more war, a dumb civvy could not clock. I'm not saying i'm not sorry because being honest is not fun but you're nothing more to me than a moron with a gun.

Oh come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me. Kick up the bucket and tell me oh, tell me, tell me i'm wrong.

So young Kurty took your leg, what a vicious cooking border. Bet you wished you'd stayed in bed instead of taking on those orders. No i've not been in your boots but I think its safe to say; we all make our own choices and killing's not ok, killing's not ok.

Oh tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me. Kick up the bucket and tell me oh. Tell me, tell me i'm wrong.

Oh now there's one thing I know, it's the law of attraction. A science of fate you can act on. I know she's real cause i've seen her in action. On the fickle and the frail, the certain, strong and sick. Though you'll never understand cause you're a stubborn son of a prick. Stubborn son of a prick. Come On!

Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me. Kick up the bucket and tell me oh. Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong.

Tell Me I'm Wrong

Paddy James, like all classic singer/songwriters, thrives on stories found in the mischief and melancholy of everyday life. His efforts are contemporary yet drawn from influences rooted in folk, rock, pop & soul. Paddy describes a certain ‘nostalgic optimism’ to his writing style that aims to deliver an ever hopeful and honest message. 

At the heart of everything lies his powerful, dynamic vocal which has drawn comparisons to the likes of Jeff Buckley & Paolo Nutini. Anybody who has witnessed a live performance will understand this magic and gentle charm only too well. 

For his most recent recorded efforts James has teamed up with Isle of White production duo Boe Weaver (Rhys Lewis, Whyte Horses) all of which have been championed by BBC introducing in the South & Amazing Radio. The latter part of 2023 sees the next batch of releases from this continued collaboration starting with indie stomper ‘Closer’ following a headline London show at the Bedford in Balham on November 1st.
