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 24th February 2025: 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/batch560

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.

Mountains test a person's strength, this is one of the most accurate tests of what a person has inside, whether you can count on him in a difficult situation.

Eugène Pottier, was a refugee from the Paris Commune, who wrote the poem 'The International' in June 1871 while in hiding in the aftermath of the massacre of the Communards. This song's lyric is adaptation of Charles H. Kerr translation from the original.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

Someone Else's Dream

Someone Else's Dream (feat. Gerry McAvoy & Brendan O'Neill)

Everywhere around aka Song to a unborn child


//: I´ll be your everywhere around and I will always love you://

//:When you`re sad I`ll come and take this sadness with my eyes,
I`ll be your everywhere around://

You can always count on me. 
I swear I`ll never do you no harm.
And at my side you`ll always find a place where you can stay in
anytime you need some warmth, 
`cause one day you`ll have to find the world can be so cold.
Then I`ll be your everywhere around
you can always count on me.
And even though if you once make misstakes
you won`t have to be afraid
because I will always love you and I`ll help you finding your own way.
You see you`re welcome to this world. 
Don`t be afraid.
I`ll be your everywhere around.

To my unborn child

Let's pretend I`m Cinderella 
up on a rocket to the moon.
If you wanna take a ride along
you gotta buy a nice suit
cause we`re gonna leave soon
come on now take a big sip off it
come on now stand and deliver
come on take a big sip off it
cause no one with a style wears boot cut jeans for dinner

three blind mice played hide and seek
but the house cat won and now the mice they`re all gone
three blind mice played hide and seek
but the house cat won and now the mice they`re all gone
come on now that`s what I call hiding
come on now, that`s what I call passion
come on now take a big sip off it
if you wanna play it big you gotta do what it`s taking

you can walk you can talk
you can listen or run
you can sit by yourself
just to be number one
you can walk you can talk
you can listen or run
you can sit by yourself
just to be number one
come on now take a big sip of it
come on now you gotta get sober
come on now take a big sip of it
if you wanna start a riot you`d be better upfront
