Sound of Love: 20 Endearing tracks from the SoundCloud community

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (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 : 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/batch532

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 (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Lord Huron - The Night We Met (slowed) but it's playing in another room and it's raining

the beach by the neighbourhood mashed with blackout days by phantogram

the beach x blackout days

Lyrics:

As the rain dries 
on the windowpane 
you notice how everything
around you has changed 
hardly anything 
that reminds you of the past
 
Why stay when your name is already called?  
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you've found another trace?

It was lovely under the tree 
but now the leaves have fallen and I move on 
I use my lens to find the trace
that leads me away from here into the valley 

Why stay when your name is already called ? 
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you have found another trace?

Move on, move on 
you found another trace 

Why stay
why cling
why wait

A Trace To Keep Control

A Lens To Find The Trace

Gotta Get Up!

(Verse 1)
Alarm screaming—-city dreaming—a new chapter unfolds
Sun peeking—-in my window—the concrete jungle glows
Eyes heavy—mind hazy—- the grind doesn’t sleeps
Coffee steaming—thoughts scheming—gotta conquer these streets
Shower spray—wash the haze—feel the water sting
Hustle fuel—pay my dues—ain't got time to sing

(Chorus)
Gotta get up, gotta get out, chase the paper, chase the clout
Stacking—dreams, lemme break it down—-every second counts
Gotta push, gotta move————ain't got ——-no time to lose
Sun's up--city's up--gotta get up—— got—- to much shit —to do

(Verse 2)
Concrete canvas—-spray paint anthems——gotta keep it real
Flow so cold—-hearts unfold——words that cut like steel
Subway rush——city bus—-rhymes ignite and spark
My paint brush——tells a story——graffiti in the dark
Meetings—deadlines——paper piles——climbing up-the ladder
through the fog——dog eat dog——it’s loyalty that matters
Family call——hear 'em all———-voices in my head
Keep on rapping——-keep on tapping——keep that fire fed

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Empire—dreams—-concrete schemes—-building from the ground
Every beat———-every street———there’s legends to be found
Rise above——-peace and love——-spirit’s —taking flight
Break the mold——-that’s the goal——to —-let the soul ignite

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

(Outro)
gotta get up——gotta get up—-ain't no stopping—-this here flow
Like a symphony—-in harmony———-the—-story grow
Every rhyme—every dime———-echoes through this jungle 
Gotta get up, gotta get up———to—-do the daily hustle

Gotta Get Up

There are these mornings
I open my eyes 
just to cry

There are these moments
right before dawn
when I die

There are the days
all I can say is
let it rain

There are the nights
I pray to sleep
not to wake
not again

But then there's you
there's only you
who makes me feel

Yes there is you
there's only you
makes me wonder

An I'm not
going under...

(for Y. A.)

Lyrics:

Why am I frozen
Waiting for the buds to bloom 
Ground is overflowing
I’m running out of room

My body’s aching
I don’t feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming 
Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

I watch the air that I’m breathing 
Waiting for myself to thaw
Draw with my fingertips
I don’t need to be in love

My body’s aching
I can feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
      
I don’t wanna come down

When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I just wanna feel

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

Until the very end

This piece took several years to come together, I didn't want to force it but rather allow it to emerge organically - I wanted it to sound lonely, sad - and reflective of my time in the desert of my mind - alone. There is a certain beauty even in sadness, loneliness, that I wanted to capture, I just hope someone might enjoy it.

Alchemical [Instrumental]

I have stage 4 breast cancer and quite often people don't believe me when I tell them that I'm great. We have all have a personal scale of really bad to really great, and having cancer does not change that. Whilst living with cancer I often feel great, so when you ask me and I say that I am great - I actually mean it.


[VERSE 1]
Some days obstacles stand in my way
Casting their mist of pure grey
But I see the light of sun rays
I have to choose my attitude before I get up
Will I face the day ahead of me with cheer
The hope in my soul tells me that I have nothing to fear

[PRECHORUS]
I’m being honest when I say		
How I am feeling today

[CHORUS]
I’m great
I know life’s not perfect, ok
I can’t help feeling this way
Every day 
When I walk in a room with a smile on my face
My heart is singing
Coz I’m great

[VERSE 2]
The warmth of sun on my skin makes me sing
Knowing what this life will bring
Adventures and wonderful things
I get to travel round the world and see its beauty
With all my favourite people next to me
Not asking for much I’m content with how my life will be 

[PRECHORUS]
I’m being honest when I say		
How I am feeling today

[CHORUS]
I’m great
I know life’s not perfect, ok
But I can’t help feeling this way
Every day 
When I walk in a room with a smile on my face
My heart is singing
Coz I’m great
I’m great
I’m great
I’m great
I’m great

I'm Great

Unlike our previous two collabs, Dan does lyrics, vocals and lead guitars on an instrumental by me.
I made a 7/4 track for him, knowing he can sail odd waves, and here you are the fantastic result !!

Verse 1:
A promise was made
And It shouldn’t fade
The words were spoken
Then they was broken

We were in the bright sunshine
I thought she was mine
It’s not something you can pawn
And asa now she is gone

I was here forever beau
It was years ago

Verse 2:
But I thought it still held
Like a solid weld

A promise is a promise
Even for a doubting Thomas
It should carry some weight
It doesn’t have an expiration date

But a last I find
That things can unwind
And we are not together
In this Summer weather

Verse 3:
She made her assurance
But I had no insurance
From the broken promise she made
Yes our romance began to fade

Now I am in the dark
What was there was just a spark
Now I Don’t know
Which way to go

No direction in my life
Yes I’m living in such strife
Wondering if life means anything
My joy has no more spring

I am that sad guy you passed by
Not noticing the tears in his eyes

IN MEMORY
Blessed be Thou for all the joy
My soul has felt to-day!
O let its memory stay with me
And never pass away!


I was alone, for those I loved
Were far away from me;
The sun shone on the withered grass,
The wind blew fresh and free.


Was it the smile of early spring
That made my bosom glow?
'Twas sweet, but neither sun nor wind
Could raise my spirit so.


Was it some feeling of delight,
All vague and undefined?
No, 'twas a rapture deep and strong,
Expanding in my mind!


Was it a sanguine view of life
And all its transient bliss—
A hope of bright prosperity?
O no, it was not this!

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

Enough Love feat. SilverBella & Paploviante

Had this one on the back burner for quite a while (ruminating in insecurity and a thousand endings) until my wife heard it the other night on staycation weekend in our mix. Her telling me i was a fool for not sharing it with the world and how it made her feel was the catalyst to finish it, so here it is! :)

Thaw

Heavenly

I wrote this song for my husband. I wished we met earlier, but our time together is so precious that it's making up for that lost time.

This is Gracie's first single off her upcoming EP 'Dimples'

This song was written in 2021 by GRACiE BEVERLEY. It was produced by Joe Sage and mastered by Stephen Kerrison.

There is the entrance door
there is the wooden floor
there are the shoes in pairs of two

There is the windowsill
and from the window still
there is the same familiar view

There is an empty space
where you used to put your hand

This is your favorite book
this is your favorite chair
this is the blanket that had covered you

This is your favorite cup
this is your favorite tea
it's strong and bittersweet and burning

There is an empty space
where I used to put my heart

Here is the door, the floor
here are the shoes in pairs of two
here is the book, the chair
here is the old comforting blanket
here is the cup and here's the tea
so bitter still and burning

And I am here
I'm always here
yes I am here
like an open window...

When you’re brainstorming ideas for album covers, you never really think they might involve placing yourselves in the middle of a road as traffic bears down on you.  However, that is precisely what we did.
Now I’m not one to tell tales but it was all Gal’s fault.  He thought our front cover  should feature an image of the entire band, which was quite compelling aside from the fact that we lived in London, Hans in Hamburg and have in reality never met.  But Gal had a mate called Dan (who lives in Norfolk, hence the title), a professional photographer whose comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop could bring the three of us together.
We’d always loved the pre-fame, Astrid Kirchherr portraits of The Beatles, taken during their club-playing, Hamburg days and two of these became our template - in focus subject occupying the foreground, covert and blurred figure (in our case, 2  figures) in the distance.
And so it was that, armed with a pin-sharp shot of Hans, we met with Dan to photograph the background scene which, as outlined previously, was in the middle of a busy side road.  Camera in hand, Dan teetered on a plastic crate as Gal and me  dodged back and forth to avoid a plethora of oncoming vehicles - everything from lorries to mobility scooters - who were, on the whole, very accommodating in the circumstances. Some even smiled and waved - at least I think that’s what they were doing…
We owe Dan so much, not only for his consummate skills and kindness but also for laying his life on the line in the name of art.  This song is for him.  (Terry Reeves)

I met a man called Dan holding a magical light
Viewing future moments, giving individual sight
Shadows from Hamburg, combination of skills
Show London reflection of a figure standing still

Chorus:
A flash of light, picture to follow
In black & white, diverse as tomorrow

Stand high in right places, enchanted vision of art
Friend of ageing musicians, sorcery skills from the heart
A Wizard conjuring cover, Kirchherr’s copy of claim
Painting light into a picture, producing Album in frame

Chorus

Viewing from height - sparks of vision
Seeing it tight - artist precision
Know left from right - avoid collision
Negative in sight - develop position

Chorus

Confidence in commitment, enjoying musical tracks
Working four to an image, platinum vinyl plaque 
Black and white cover photo, a clue why, when and who
Monochrome life connections, enjoy vision past to new

Chorus

A feeling it’s time to give a show
A feeling making history grow
A feeling, a feeling only one way to go
A feeling thinking fast going slow
A feeling Duchars photos will glow
A feeling CC one day will all know

Dawn of Heaven

This song Began as a very Nice progressive/swing  tune titled "A Mood of Two" created by the Furico music Team and one of my favorites of theirs, several years ago-- Teth Sin (Mick) decided to do a collab/remix and asked me to supply some lyrics--i had some in the can from a song Called "Beloved Sisters of the storm" 
So Mick Masterfully put this Beautiful Progessive Swing tune together with all of us and honored me by naming it after lyrics in the Song--and has graciously allowed me to release it on my Page though It got major play, just in case you missed this brilliant tune, here it is--Cheers:)

lyrics

i don't think i'm going home, this thing won't leave me alone..I've got fragments of the sun and moon imbedded in the core of my cerebral stem.. and of course there is that key That's allegedly buried in this pile of sacred rocks in space that supposedly unlocks the gate that holds the dog and holds the bone and blocks the path that takes me home.

Check yourself, what are you feeling at the present moment..Some times i can feel the giant moving slightly in it's sleep.. just like Vishnu dreaming high in the mountain valleys of the mighty Himalayas.

The tiny silver thread, transcendent of the reckless life we led, A raging river way down below. The moment when you finally realize it's finally time to go..
oh beloved sister's of the Storm, thank you for appearing in your human form

what could i do, what could i say, i guess i thought that i was on my way to another nervous breakdown..The taste of life so sweet upon our tongues, We were Gods when we were young...

The Mighty Himalayas-with Teth Sin & The Furico Music Team

I used to be so fragile, but now I'm so wild.

This is a song for anyone who has ever lost or failed at something. Someone out there feels this way for you, and you should too. 

Forfeit Fights     

I know you hate them
For saying its true
But you don’t belong here
I know it too

It’s no ones fault
It’s no ones answer
For where we go from here

But I’m with you
Thick and through
Every time
We lose

You don’t owe anybody
Anything
But you don’t believe that
You were raised to think

Your bleeding heart 
Was all the world's to see

But I’m with you
Thick and through
Every time we choose
Sleepless nights
Forfeit fights
Burnt out lights
And shoes

You chose the narrow path instead
Of ones that led to lighter trends
When I fell down and broke the skin
On every hope we didn’t win
You put my arms around your neck
And carried me until the end

So I’m with you
Thick and through
Every time we lose
Sleepless nights
Forfeit fights
Burnt out lights
And 
Sleepless nights
Forfeit fights
Burnt out lights
And shoes

Forfeit Fights

The music project "Present Paradox" by Dortmund-based David Kleinekottmann provides insights into the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica.
