Duration: 2 min 20 s
Description: .......but I see a new high, if I look through your eyes........

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 2nd 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/batch543

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.

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 543

Tangled is a guitar-driven love song about the all-consuming passion of a romantic relationship, laced with the underlying question, ‘Is this too good to be true?’

Tangled

A mood piece intended to convey the confusing nature of dreams, the memories that sometimes insert themselves, & the emotions evoked.

Dream Shift

Millions of eyes long for this picture.
My heart is drowned
In the lost values of dust 

I'm staring and staring, try to understand.
It's so cold out here, but warmer than the human race 

In shiney hands, there's a star that's born.
Why do it makes everyone so  blind?
I only exist in my own light 

Waiting here in strange nights,
and never want to go... 

Drifting away, there's no goodby
Disapear forever 

And no one will get hurt

Written, played and recorded by Van Niemandsland Mathias at Deadspacemaze studio, March 2024.

I only exist

This Song is a blues based rock song. Just for fun and to let the beast out for a little while. Back to basics. No frills just pure Blues Rock.

The Rabbit Hole

Full Grown Man

at the moment of death
at the precipice 
when you fear there’s nothin’ left
and you cling to this 

when you struggle for breath 
and your consciousness 
when your tears are worthless 
you’re feeling lifeless 

when
paradise awaits
you cross the river
see the pearly gates
or reach Valhalla
when you return
to eternity 
as one
with
all and everything

when you know
all and everything 
is
one

one

at the moment of death
at the precipice 
when you fear there’s nothin’ left
and you cling to this 
life

when you struggle for breath 
and your consciousness 
when your tears are worthless 
you’re feeling lifeless 

when
paradise awaits
you cross the river
see the pearly gates
or reach Valhalla
when you return
to eternity 
as one
with
all and everything

when you know
all and everything 
is
one

one

when you see the light
know that we are one
we
are 
one

when you see the light
know that we are one

we are  one mind in the cosmos
one body in the universe
one spirit in eternity 
one being in humanity 

we are one

we are one

one (see the light)

Hungover, looking like I’ve been dragged backwards through a cement mixer
Paler than a ghost with eyes the size the fucking craters
If Ugly Betty’s ugly, then what does that say about me?

Mars Rover, waking up alone with no one’s head over my shoulder
I wouldn’t have it any other way but now I’m older
This single bed looks funny, probably says lots about me

I don’t think about it too much
Just every waking moment
Send me to sleep, or sell me some weed
If the edge is off I’m golden

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ugly Betty

“LITTLE BOYS” is a bold and unapologetic anthem that tackles the themes of immaturity and self-worth, delivering a message of strength, independence, and emotional growth. With its catchy hooks and a dynamic blend of indie-pop and contemporary elements, the song captures the frustrations and realisations of growing past toxic relationships, reclaiming your power and knowing when to walk away.

Young strangers meet on holiday and forget how far away they are from home. This is one of my brother's songs from the early 80s, reproduced here using #saros on BVs

Inspired by the roadmap of the UK, The B Roads is the alias of multi-instrumentalist John Paul Turner, mixing jazz, folk, minimal and blues to create impressions of middle age middle England. The music takes some reference from his last album ‘Senseless acts of beauty’ (Sonoris 2003) which was compared to Mark Hollis, Nick drake, Tape, Satie and Eno, and described as: “One of the most ear catching albums of the year” –BBC Late Junction show “. "Like chamber music played by gangsters, mixed by minimalists” –Priceminster. “Duritti column on the piano”. –Vital Weekly, and “An acoustic masterpiece.” -Art into life.com.

ABOUT.

Played in the original wave of northern post rock, before moving to London, fronting lounge lizards style groups till the mid 90’s. Further years of psych Jazz (Trance-mission), Improv (Celeste), and Minimal (Senseless) all leave traces through an acoustic filter leading onto The B-roads.
