Name: Stargazer by Caspian in ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 405
Duration: 3 min 47 s
Description: Busy stargazing...

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 10th May: 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/batch405

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 405

Medicine Man

The street lies dark
and sergeant O'Neil
is on night patrol
both hands on the wheel
The drunks and the thieves
He knows them by name
and it weighs on his heart
to see what they became

Every night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Father Mulholland
looks at the crowd
Five lonely souls
all with heads bowed
His sermons once flowed
with drive and conviction
now all he can muster
is drab repetition

Every Sunday is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

The excitement of youth
The thrill of the stranger
The great unknown
The sweet edge of danger
They fade over time
To tired resignation
To stay was a choice
is their pale justification

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Sally O’Brien
pulls one more beer
As it fills it reminds her
Of malt soaked tears
The drunks tell her stories
She's heard them all before
Their whole lives determined
By where they come from

Every Friday night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Big Dreams

You Are The Eyes

Lampshade

Lyrics:
Too bright at times, whenever it's in my eyes            
these lights are kinda crazy, I'm getting kinda hazy,
My life is a lamp without a Lampshade,
-
I can't seem to dim this glow, this phosphorescent light show,
So bright it hurts my mind, what stops me going blind?
Why can't I hide behind a lampshade
-
I'm like the sunset on a shore, I don't wanna shine anymore,
Maybe I should find some shade, before my ember starts to fade,
Why should I keep looking for a lampshade

Lampshade

I'm stuck in my Laptop's circuit board. Please send help

Circuitry

Moderately luminous, slightly candescent, somewhat glowing...

Almost Neon

Confection

Using her haunting vocals and simple instrumentation, Belinda Gillett creates ethereal landscapes of nature, love and struggle.  Often compared to Sandy Denny and Joan Baez and is influenced by Nick Drake, Radiohead, The Sundays and Frightened Rabbit.
