Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 5th March: from midday on Friday 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/batch275

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely 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. You may resubmit the track in future.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 275

Cloud - Occlusion 39

Looked through the glass
Struggled to see
Blinded by the forest
Couldn't see through all the trees
The mistake was believing
I held the key
Should have seen the neon sign
Warning me
 
Long gone for a season
Lost my head and I left my heart behind
Lost track of the reason
Why I said goodbye
 
Looking for some solace
In the trappings of love
Couldn't see I'd been blinded
Didn't see what I'd become
I finally realized
You hold the key
My heart is your locket
You are my destiny
 
You are my destiny
My shining star
My galaxy
You are my destiny
You steal the breath from my soul
Every time you breathe
 
Lost at the crossroad
Caught in a trap
Afraid to move forward
Too brave to go back
You are the whirlwind
Inside of me
My heart is your captive
You are my destiny
 
You are my destiny
My shining star
My galaxy
You are my destiny
You steal the breath from my soul
Every time you breathe
 
You are my destiny
My shining star
My galaxy
You are my destiny
You steal the breath from my soul
Every time you breathe

You are my Destiny

Vindicated

Maribelle

This is quite a departure for me. The musical idea was going to be used for a different song. One morning a sort of stream of consciousness lyric began to form. I wrote it down & decided to channel the anger!

Losing Control

Come Back came to me while I was writing on the piano one beautiful spring morning. The story is about how most of us catch ourselves talking to the ones we love when actually for all sense and purposes, they are not really there, or are they?
If they are, then I say, Come Back and talk to me again.

Come Back

The Boss and E street came down from on high and gave us this.

I'm on Fire

This Impossible Year

lyrics:

i'm ready for the punch 
but it may never come 
that's how i live my life 
terrified & dumb 

something has gone missing 
or never was there at all 
i've never felt desire 
for anything at all 

i don't know what to tell ya 
that i haven't said before 
i feel the same old feelings: 
it's like a kick on the floor 

why'd you tell me that you need it 
and then go off, disappearing? 
why'd you tell me 
'bout your real love? 

hopin' that 
you'd see it 
i've spent 
years in secret 
all my life 
been keepin' 
all these li(v)es 
i still need 'em
