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 23rd November: 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/batch387

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

warm girl
I could do with your silence 
before I burn myself out 
peeling layers to the bone
surreal world 
where people are islands 
there must be some connection 
there must be somewhere I can go
somewhere natural
gonna find myself again
not sure who he is (or where he went)
they’re all so sociable 
but when you break open the shell
nothing oozes out

come and find me 
can’t you see where I am?
I pray for silence 
but I can’t keep my mouth shut 
no I can’t make my mind up

make me a boy again 
now I only seem
to long for the old days 
hoping it goes my way
but it only goes downhill

warm girl 
you’re free (as the sky is)
to overlay my senses 
free to leave such things alone
truth hurts
it’ll sting you for life, babe
carry on regardless 
but I can’t keep this to myself 
and is it any wonder? 
this may well have never been
but I’m here now,
so might as well

come and find me 
can’t you see who I am?
yeah I pray for silence 
but I can’t keep my mouth shut 
no, I can’t make my life work



J'aime les fleurs de la ville
Ca me rappelle la maison
Quand je ne sais pas ou aller

On tend vers la lumiere
Comme le font les fleurs
J'aimerais pouvoir te montrer
J'aimerais pouvoir montrer a tout le monde


(I love the flowers of the city
they remind me of home
when I don't know where to go 
we grow towards the light
just like the flowers do
I wish I could show you why 
I wish I could show everyone)

Warm Girl

The new single from the forthcoming Nah... album, out in September 2020.

Nah... "Under The Radar"

The second single released from The Frisbys upcoming E.P 'My Wicked Mind'. My Wicked Mind is released on 26th June 2020 via Dantbaccus Records.

Lyrics:
Bright lights, inner city
Your mouth tastes sweet
I get so alone now
I just don't know what I

Feel your getting closer
Feel you inside my head
So scared I could drop this
I just don't know what I like
Know what I like...

Heart aches, lungs are burning
Room seeps sweat and smoke
Whispered I know what's better
I just don't know what I,
know what I, know what I

Woah lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Embrace this night for sinners
Know the devils out
Guarded I let him take me
I just don't know what I
Know what I, know what I


Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Hold me down to the river
Let me lay my head
Hold me down to the river 
Let me lay my head

My Wicked Mind

Lead Me To The Water

The Muscle (Song for Kate)

Fourth single from Cardiff Indie Rock band The Rotanas. Release date - 7.8.20

Figure It Out Alone

‘TIME’ is the third single since the band’s 2019 debut offering, ‘Snakes’. Of the track, frontman Joe explains; “TIME is an attempt to capture my existential crisis while on lockdown, my life like many others was halted and thrown into some sort of anxiety-induced groundhog day where the weeks pass like days and slip through our fingers, where all we have to do in the present is to reflect on the past and ponder on the fragile new future”.

TIME

Out of My Mind

http://penfriend.rocks

I can’t do much of anything when I’m feeling down, let alone write a song about it, but one day in 2019 when I was trudging my way back, I made an attempt to leave a breadcrumb trail for my future self. 

"The Only Way Out Is Through" is my attempt to trap the "shapeless forces" that "pull at me", making them solid by assigning words to them, reducing their power and size to something I might feasibly be able to overcome. The aspirational sentiment that “resistance is crucial, forgiveness is beautiful” is one I find very hard to enact in the moment, but something I can at least continue to strive for. 

Ironically, this song is being released during my lowest fortnight of the last 12 months, so the safety line of lyrics I knotted inside the music is a helpful reminder of brighter days. 

The choice to release music in a universally dark time isn’t one I take lightly. “The Only Way Out Is Through” is the most resonant and useful piece of music I have to offer right now, a rescue raft for whoever needs one. 

That’s what this song is for me.

LYRICS 

Gotta get out of this 
Making a meal of distress 
Fatalistic to the bone 
Thunderclouds in every home 
Gotta get out of this 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through 

Gotta get out of this 
Drowning in yesterday's tears 
Intimate conspiracies 
Shapeless forces pull at me 
Gotta get out of this 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart 
I never meant to wish on a falling star 
But I won't let it go 

Denial take me away 
Pretend like I'm not the queen of stretching the days 
In all the wrong ways - til they break 
Denial take me away 
I crave your sweet mistakes but 
Resistance is crucial 
Forgiveness is beautiful 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through

‘End Credits’ is a nihilistic yet optimistic track about slipping into the unknown of the afterlife. Musically joyous, lyrically dower this track perfectly sums up the highs and lows of realising our human condition as we hopelessly and defiantly trudge towards the end.
