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 17th May: 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/batch406

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.

Lyrics:

Walked past the market last night
Looking for a place to hide
Thought about getting a pack
For the first time
I was so anxious 
But that’s no cure for loneliness
Tried to calm down with a breath

Where did the time go?
God only knows
God only knows
And where did the good go?
Where did it go?
Cause I don’t know
I don’t know
Where to go anymore

No I can’t do stupid things
Cause I’m too old I think
Am I past the age of mistakes
Or can I misbehave?
But how can I start to blame
All of these little things
On anyone but myself

Where did the time go?
God only knows
God only knows
And where did the good go?
Where did it go?
Cause I don’t know
I don’t know
Where to go anymore

Sometimes I forget how to live
When I’m filled with emptiness
Maybe there’s nothing left
Maybe there’s nothing left

Where did the time go?
God only knows
God only knows
And where did the good go?
Where did it go?
Cause I don’t know
I don’t know
Where to go anymore

Where Did The Time Go

Don't Want You to Love Me by talker

----

Caught crying at the foot of your love
I could say it doesn’t matter but I’ve been here before

Still holding what I wish I would want
But it’s falling through my hands and now I can’t pick it up

Cause I took my shots and made my bed
And now it feels like I might wake up dead
I’m just a cog in my machine gun head
And I can’t pretend

That I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to love me
You wish you didn’t even know me
But god I want you to love me
To love me

If I could argue with
Somebody else
Then I wouldn’t have to
Convince you of the lie that I keep telling myself

Cause I know that I said what I said
If I were you I wouldn’t take that bet
I’m just a cog in my machine gun head
And I can’t pretend

That I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to love me
You wish you didn’t even know me
But god I want you to love me
To love me

Oh, if I say it
If I say things I don’t want to feel

Oh, if I say it would it feel
Like I don’t want you to love me?

I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to love me
You wish you didn’t even know me
But god I want you to love me
To love me

Oh, if I say it
Oh, if I say it

Do It Again - Single

Do It Again

'I ain't got an ounce o' class, Sugar, honest...'

Classy

This is a punk rock song written in the wake of the glorious train-wreck that was 2020. The song's steady driving beat and ever intensifying bite expresses a sense of hope and resolve to help fight the good fight, whatever that may be. Like many, we found ourselves knocked down and humbled last year, but we have hope the world will come out of it a better place. Much love

I Don’t Know Why

Counted all the roses in your garden on my walk last night
After thirty two I wasn’t sure if I’d gone wrong or I was right
Eight more minutes passed and then I chose to leave the numbers up to you
And if you find this in the morning, write the answer on the back and pass it through

I don’t know why
I don’t know
I don’t know why
I don’t know

Taking off my clothes and raising both eyes to the sky so I see God
But I didn’t feel a thing beyond the shape of every pebble I was stood on

I don’t know why
I don’t know
I don’t know why
I don’t know

Sat inside and listened to the top songs you must hear before you die
I got lost after the first line of the second track with nothing on my mind
Plan your life so you can leave the island with a ticket to a place you’ll like
Wait for every other friend and foe to sit beside you, laugh and say that you were right

I don’t know why
I don’t know
I don’t know why
I don’t know

I Don't Know Why

'My Home Is You' is a song about how our houses are just the backdrop of our life, but the feeling of home comes from being close to the ones we love.

The Satellite Station - My Home Is You

Notre Dame de Paris Tu vas me

Scythian Empires

Viva la vida (Coldplay)

U2 - Pride (From The Ground Up)

Belle - notre dame de paris

Draw another circle describes a melodic and melancholy walk around familiar roads and paths that lead into one another. A circuitous route through small town love.

The relaxed, strolling acoustic rhythm and high floating melodies sooth while the thud of synth bass and drum make you quicken your step or press down harder on the go pedal . This New Wolves sound is slowly becoming more familiar and distinct with these old world acoustic and recent world synth sounds meshing together.

"Written in the Autumn of 2020 when the world had shrunk down to a few alleyways and empty streets around my part of the city, I felt both comforted and lost. Draw another circle came out of this time and place."

Mixed and mastered by Eddie Al-Shakarchi who produced Boy Azoogas' debut album.
