nice song! hope it goes well!!😊✨✨✨🌜

Love it. The flute really works and the harmonies are so good! 👍👏

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 23rd November: 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/batch387

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 387

Was playing around with some chords and was stuck for inspiration on a theme. My 9 year old wandered into the "studio" (spare room) so I said give me a title for a song. He told me he had only come in to say he was "missing pieces" of lego. So I said Missing Pieces will be the title and it grew from there 😃
I asked my good buddy Johnny from No Killie Fish to lay some of his awesome guitar lines for the lead guitar and I think it has really added some flavor to the track and the solo is killer!! He is an exceptional player and an even better person, check out his page at https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2

Not Yet Tired Of Life but We'

Stop Thinking They'll Love It

Polar Bear for Christmas

'Hurt Me' is the new single from The Frisbys which will be released 16th December via Dantobaccus Records.

The song is about starting up a new relationship after a significant heartbreak and the battle of deciding whether you are ready to pursue something new when you are still recovering from past hurts. It’s also  protecting other people and recognising that if you’re not ready to move on, you might end up causing someone else pain. Basically... it’s a no win. It sucks to break up with someone and it sucks to be broken up with.

Hurt Me

The Frisbys - Hurt Me

Sorren Maclean is pleased to announce his forthcoming EP, Way Back Home, released 9th March 2015 via Middle Of Nowhere Recordings.

Sorren’s delicate indie folk sound perfectly captures the desolate beauty of his homeland on the Isle Of Mull. There’s a warmth to his voice and guitar playing that gives the listener a feeling of closeness. This is none more
apparent on EP track ‘If Not For You’, where one feels that Sorren could almost be in the room with you. While the title track Way Back Home portrays the longing desperation of life on the road, and the bittersweet homecoming that follows upon the journey back to a more sedate normality. There is a definitive and accomplished quality to Sorren’s sound that allows his voice and guitar to share the spotlight simultaneously.

Growing up on the Isle of Mull, Sorren began playing in bands from age 11. He recorded his debut album, Island, with Colin MacIntyre of Mull Historical Society, which led on to Idlewild singer Roddy Woomble inviting Sorren to co-write his second solo album, The Impossible Song and Other Songs, and they’ve been working together ever since.

As well as playing and touring with Roddy and Mull Historical Society, Sorren also plays in a duo with virtuoso guitarist Finlay Wells. He also produced the EP Echoes by singer Laurie Cameron, which was used in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks and his songs have appeared in E4's Beaver Falls.  Sorren regularly works and records with composer Donald Shaw of Capercaillie, creating music for the soundtracks to BBC Two’s acclaimed Hebrides series and the award winning childrens tv show Katie Morag, as well as many BBC documentaries including McQueen of Scots.

Sorren’s undoubted talent has seen him transcend his own musical projects, having performed on over 20 albums, including upcoming releases from Nashville singer Eliza Lynn and one of Scotlands finest exports, King Creosote whom he is supporting currently on tour.

With new album Winter Stay Autumn due before the summer and a support tour with Idlewild in March, 2015 looks set to be one of his busiest years yet.

Big Iron- Marty Robbins

[ Lyrics Below] This track hints at Spanish Flamenco with additions by guitarist Paco Seco, Gitta’s passionately emotive vocal delivery and hand-clap rhythms that bring images of Spain’s rich culture to mind. Recorded for parts in the UK, in the beautiful ancient town of Ronda, Spain and in the Netherlands. It speaks of a challenging search for forgiveness in an environment that is unforgiving. When religion can't save us we have to find redemption elsewhere, digging deep within the layers of our own psyche.

The Clearing

No hope for the sinner longing for truce, no room for forgiveness, for starting anew
No rest for the wicked, repentance is cruel, it tosses and turns, aches and it yearns 
 No points for the failing that can’t tell the truth, banned and forgotten, wretched and rotten 

Go to the clearing, no sin there to swim in
No longer no further, oh clearing come nearer 
The reason for treason to be one that purges 
Forgives all our urges so human

Be free be one with all you’ve done no wrong no wrong my son 
Be free be one with all you’ve done no wrong no wrong my son

Oh go to the clearing, no sin left to swim in
No longer no further, oh clearing come nearer 
The reason for treason to be one that purges 
Forgives all our urges so human, only human
Only human 

Where there’s hope for the sinner longing for truce, there’s room for forgiveness, for starting anew. Find rest with the wicked, redemption ain’t cruel, it cradles and holds as kindness unfolds. 

Be free be one with all you’ve done no wrong no wrong my son.
Be free be one with all you’ve done no wrong no wrong my son.

The second single released from The Frisbys upcoming E.P 'My Wicked Mind'. My Wicked Mind is released on 26th June 2020 via Dantbaccus Records.

Lyrics:
Bright lights, inner city
Your mouth tastes sweet
I get so alone now
I just don't know what I

Feel your getting closer
Feel you inside my head
So scared I could drop this
I just don't know what I like
Know what I like...

Heart aches, lungs are burning
Room seeps sweat and smoke
Whispered I know what's better
I just don't know what I,
know what I, know what I

Woah lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Embrace this night for sinners
Know the devils out
Guarded I let him take me
I just don't know what I
Know what I, know what I


Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Hold me down to the river
Let me lay my head
Hold me down to the river 
Let me lay my head

My Wicked Mind

‘End Credits’ is a nihilistic yet optimistic track about slipping into the unknown of the afterlife. Musically joyous, lyrically dower this track perfectly sums up the highs and lows of realising our human condition as we hopelessly and defiantly trudge towards the end.
