Choices of the Grasshopper June 2023

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 19th June 2023: 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/batch493

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.

Rosewood

Wake Me Up

With “Mad is the Beast,” Moshe tackles trauma more directly than she ever has in song, singing about the hard boundaries necessary to keep herself safe and healthy. “Releasing this as a single… it takes a lot of guts for me. I’m shaking a bit,” she says. “It’s precise; it says exactly what I needed to say.” Musically, it’s a meditation — slow-pulsing percussion, echoing piano and a beautifully cascading melody. But lyrically it’s sharper-edge, with Moshe singing, “You can’t touch me anytime you want; I am not a toy. You can’t suck the air out of my lungs, or drink up my joy.” It’s a song for survivors, but a stirring listen for anyone.

She's the One

Weird Nightmare - She's the One

Written, produced and mixed by Austen Moret

VERSE I
I never thought I’d be just another phone call
Some kid you read about, the bottom of page three
Some story or headline you forgot in no time 
Guess my hearts upon my sleeve, an awful sight to see

PRE CHORUS
So picture me in the back of a cop car
Broken limbs, dirty mess cause you’re so far
If you’re gone, would you come back if I bleed?

CHORUS
You and I are amazing
It wasn’t fiction in my mind
You and I are amazing
I love you more and more each time

VERSE II
I’m driving my car, as if it were burning 
I may not survive, but that’s not the point 
Cause if I die slowly, then maybe you’d love me
And this is all inside my head, but it helps me to sleep

PRE CHORUS
So picture me in the street, by the wayside
Broken limbs, dirty mess, would it make you cry?
If you’re gone, would you come back if I bleed?

CHORUS
You and I are amazing
It wasn’t fiction in my mind
You and I are amazing
I love you more and more each time

BRIDGE
In twenty seconds maybe I’ll be gone
I did it all, just to see your face
The paramedics say I’m hangin’ on 
Cause I don't wanna be here all alone

CHORUS
You and I are amazing
It wasn’t fiction in my mind
You and I are amazing
I love you more and more each time

Non-Fiction

YOU 💋

LYRICS:

I can see you navigate the storm 
Can't find your way, you pull against the ropes 
Like pretty porcelain, we'll be cracked and we'll be flawed
Doesn't mean that we won't make it though

I see you're fractured at the seams, 
Can you open up to me, open up to me love?
I see you're wearing thin, so please just let in
Please just let me in, love 

Let me layer you, layer you up 
Let me layer you, layer you up 
Wrap you up in my heart space, give you a safe place 
Cover all of your scars 
Let me layer you, layer you up 

Golden from afar, you're shining bright 
But closing in it's clear you've lost your light 
Did it burn out or did you lose the fight? 
Is it colder now in the middle of night? 

Let me layer you, layer you up 
Let me layer you, layer you up 
Wrap you up in my heart space, give you a safe place 
Cover all of your scars 
Let me layer you, layer you up (Cover all of your scars)
Let me layer you, layer you up
Let me layer you, layer you up
Cover all of your scars

Layer You Up

The Trusted make bold, emotional indie rock built for big moments.
From Southend-on-Sea to BBC Radio 1, they fuse post-punk energy with cinematic pop, drawing comparisons to The 1975 and The Clash. 300+ gigs in, they’ve found their voice, urgent, anthemic, unforgettable.
