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 16th September 2024 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/batch541

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves 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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 541

I don't know why you are so hard to love all the time,
Can you please just open up your eyes,
Love me sometime.

I don't wanna wait forever while you waste my time,
Can you please hold my hand and love me sometime.

(la da da da)

I think that you did me dirty but you don't think the same,
You grabbed my heart and pulled it apart it'll never be the same,
I don't wanna be too much but you're really killing my brain,
Why can't you just hold my hand and love me sometime

(La da da da)

I don't know why you are so hard to love all the time,
Can you please just open up your eyes,
Love me sometime,
I don't know why you are so hard to love all the time,
Can you please just open up your eyes,
Love me sometime,
I don't know why you are so hard to love all the time,
Can you please just open up your eyes,
Love me sometime,

Love Me Sometime

I never fail to die every time you walk on by.

I Die Every Time

Serendipity I

Fan Of Mine

The first single from The Chairman Dances' album Evening Song, out October 11, 2024

Evening Song

We Rifled Through

"Finis" is a deeply personal track that dives into the emotional turmoil of leaving a relationship that’s destined to fail, despite the lingering love. 

Originally conceived as a dark, slow-burning funky instrumental, I decided to channel my experience into lyrics, transforming it into a powerful narrative of escape and resolution.

Finis

"The song's DIY post-punk style, with its fuzzy, jangly guitars and raw yet dreamy vocals, perfectly complements the theme. It's catchy and arty, with a certain sense of psychedelia and retro 90s indie vibes". Click Roll Boom

Keep Scrolling On

in your eyes

Random Love is about the small moments, the touches, the smiles, the looks that come from the one you love at any moment of the day that fill your heart and just make you feel so good and loved. 

For Sue x

Something pure is coursing through my veins
Rousing thoughts and desires
An overwhelming sentiment I can’t explain
Lifting me up, higher and higher

Have to tell you what I feel inside
I cannot run, I cannot hide
From this thing that’s got a hold on me
I kind of always knew it right from the start
If I held it all together, not fall apart
This random love would keep filling up my heart

There’s a beauty to your universe
Immersing me in high emotions 
A private revolution taking over my heart
Inviting me to total devotion

Have to tell you what I feel inside  
I cannot run, I cannot hide   
From this thing that’s got a hold on me
I kind of always knew it right from the start
If I held it all together, not fall apart
This random love would keep filling up my heart
     
Have to tell you what I feel inside
I cannot run, I cannot hide
From this thing that’s got a hold on me
I kind of always knew it right from the start
If I held it all together, not fall apart
This random love would keep filling up my heart

Random Love

A powerful message and an anthem of a song - released for National Mental Health Day 2024

Don't Give Up On Yourself

This song is for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t belong. I’m sure we all go through moments of isolation or disconnection, but it’s important to remember that those very differences are what make us unique. Houston is about realizing that standing out is a strength, not a weakness.

In today's digital age, being a social media influencer is often seen as a glamorous lifestyle. From stunning beach vacations to picture-perfect moments, it looks like they have it all. 
’Subscribe Down Below’, is a song that uncovers the true struggles and pressures influencers can face.

Single Audio Channel’s latest single, “Save or Regenerate?”, is a raw, self-aware, and timely exploration of creativity in the age of Artificial Intelligence. NOTE: No AI was used in the creation of this track.

The new single blends tongue-in-cheek storytelling with infectious indie guitar energy - classic Single Audio Channel. The song tells the story of an out-of-work creative who, caught in a moment of desperation and digital curiosity, turns to an AI songwriting app for help with his next track. 

It begins with the prompt …
"Write me a song called open to work please - to advertise myself to industry colleagues"

The AI obliges, but the results are soulless. With each regenerated version, the song spirals into a loop of mechanical lyrics and emotional absence. It's clever, it's on-trend, but it's uninspiring - trying to convince the songwriter to “save” the lyrics it has generated. “Save or Regenerate?” is about that frustrating loop, the idea that you can keep hitting ‘regenerate’ on an online tool hoping for something better, but sometimes what you're really looking for can only come from within.

This soon becomes apparent, and so they stop clicking and start strumming!

Singer songwriter Glynn Hayward shared “I wanted to write this track as I’ve been seeing so many “Open to Work” callouts on professional social platforms which have obviously been AI generated making people feel inauthentic when they are actually trying to sell themselves - it just made me think, why not just write it yourself?, and hence the idea for the song”.

At a time when AI tools are rapidly reshaping creative industries, “Save or Regenerate?” offers a grounded and personal perspective. It acknowledges the power of the tool, but ultimately makes the case for emotion, imperfection, and personal truth in music. It's not anti-tech, it’s pro-heart.

Embodying the “AI robot” in the song is singer/songwriter Lara from Bath’s indie band Never the Bridle, who guest vocals with Single Audio Channel on the track.

Save or Regenerate?

A true story about Dennis Hope, the man who owns the moon and has made millions of dollars from selling extraterrestrial real estate. I was fascinated by the story and simply loved the creative and entrepreneurial nature of it.  It inspired me to write a song about his amazing story. The song also has an underlying positive narrative and message of "have hope" for listeners to hear Dennis' story and to be inspired for their ideas too, as by believing in your ideas, you too can reach the moon - you just need to "have hope". Dennis Hope has heard the track and LOVES it and is fully behind the song - he has also gifted me some land on the moon :) I had "hope" in my "idea" and I've "reached the moon" - job done !

Dennis Hope

another sad song
lyrics:
you you've been keeping me up at night
you you've been telling me, telling me lies what you tyrna hide from me

I I know the truth
this isn't like you this isn't like you
you've been hiding in your room
hiding out hiding out

you say you need space
you need to go away need to go away
tell me tell me
its not working out it just not working out
