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 9th October: 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/batch504

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.

Lyrics: 
I made the perfect you in my head
Cause physically you are the blueprint
But internally, god damn you’re a mess
So to stay with you I had to imagine

That he is perfect 
Anything I give him, he deserves it
Rarely does he ever come to see me
But anytime he does he makes it worth it 
Like I earned it

God, I love him
And when I’m with you, I can’t help myself but only think about him
I can’t wait to see him again
My god, I miss him
And when I’m with you, I’m just thinking bout how much I wish it was him
I can’t wait to see him again

More frequent visits would’ve been nice
But I don’t want you knowing that there’s somebody new
Sometimes the guilt will clog up my mind
But is it cheating if I love a better version of you

Cause he is perfect 
Anything I give him, he deserves it
Rarely does he ever come to see me
But anytime he does he makes it worth it 
Like I earned it

God, I love him
And when I’m with you, I can’t help myself but only think about him
I can’t wait to see him again
My god, I miss him
And when I’m with you, I’m just thinking bout how much I wish it was him
I can’t wait to see him again

My god, I miss him
And when I’m with you, I’m just thinking bout how much I wish it was him
I can’t wait to see him again

released for World Mental Health Day

written when I was at my lowest
released when I'm at the best I've been in as long as I can remember

mental health is a universal human right.
there is strength in vulnerability.
there is always someone to talk to.
you are worth talking about.

The Meaning

Like it or Not

Singer-Songwriter Taura Lamb is set to unveil her upcoming single 'Crybaby' this October, aligning the emotionally-charged track with World Mental Health Awareness Day on Tuesday, the 10th. Discussing the track, Taura explains;
“I’m someone who cries at everything - be it a wedding, a funeral or a John Lewis Christmas advert, you best believe I will be tearing up. This song is about a time when I felt I needed to mask the crybaby in me a little, it was time for me to be somebody else’s rock and let them cry all the tears. It’s saying ‘I’m going to be so so strong in this moment, for once, so that you can completely and utterly collapse if you need to. I’ll be here to talk it out at any time, on any day, and you are allowed to break down, I’ve got you.”

The track is stripped back to Taura’s smooth-yet-heartbreaking vocals and keys-genius ‘Swoope’s delicate piano, with the addition of just strings and a choir. The song's sophistication lies in its simplicity, allowing its poignant lyrics to weave an important narrative of vulnerability and human connection.

Hospital Hat(e)

The original lyrical inspiration for 'The Weight' came from an old Public Information Film from 1975 that I remember watching as a child. It was produced to try and encourage children to brush their teeth with a hippopotamus talking to a tiger about Jeremy the lion who has a roaring toothache...

The Weight

Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy fears his heart may burst and break
Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy’s tired from carrying all of the weight

Jeremy dreams of a starlit sky
Jeremy sits and ponders the question: Why?
Pretends to his friends he has wings to enable him to fly
But crashes to the ground in a head spun nosedive

Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy fears his heart may burst and break
Jeremy’s got a roaring toothache
Jeremy’s tired from carrying all of the weight

Baby

lyrics~
i remember when you first said you love me
you're my favorite girl
you know you're my honey
you know i miss it when you would call me "Bubby"
you know i miss you every night when i'm lonely

someone tell my baby that i need her
i've been dying just to see her
i've been crying day to day
and girl, i'm begging you to stay with me

and after all these months
you're still the one i want
you're still my rising sun
baby, we've just begun

you don't have to call
cos baby i'll be there
yeah, you know i swear
i know i messed up
but i love you
i want you
i just can't afford to
lose you

i love you
i adore you
there ain't no limit to what i'd do
What i'd do
to make it back

Baby

You're The Best Thing 🌹

Lyrics

I know we said this won’t be the way we stay forever
I want you in my life that won’t change if we’re not together
Even if you’re not the one I see down the aisle
You’re the best thing
You’re the best thing
That’s happened to me in a while

I was in the dark but you held up a light
Became my best friend who shares my bed some nights
Handed me the map to help me find myself
Made sure that I know I don’t need no one else

I was in a cycle of pain that was disguised as love
I didn’t know what I could know, you made me feel enough
There ain’t no title that can match our vibe
But whatever we call it just know you changed my life

I know we said this won’t be the way we stay forever
I want you in my life that won’t change if we’re not together
Even if you’re not the one I see down the aisle
You’re the best thing
You’re the best thing
That’s happened to me in a while

You always have my back I know you love to watch it
When I want the truth I know you always got it
You’re like my soulmate from another lifetime 
I’ve been showing you your value you’ve been teaching me mine

Cause 
I was in a cycle of pain that was disguised as love
I didn’t know what I could know, you made me feel enough
There ain’t no title that can match our vibe
But whatever we call it just know you changed my life

I know we said this won’t be the way we stay forever
I want you in my life that won’t change if we’re not together
Even if you’re not the one I see down the aisle
You’re the best thing
You’re the best thing
That’s happened to me in a while

And if we ain’t meant to be together forever
You’re still the best thing
You’re still the best thing
And if we ain’t meant to be together forever
You’re still the best thing
You’re still the best thing
To happen to me in a while
Happen to me in a while

You’re still the best thing
My best friend
My everything
