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 21st March: 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/batch441

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’m not tired 
i’m just wired
for late nights staying up 
talking till the sun gets stuck
back up in the sky
reminding me 
i’m still alive 

i’d been looking 
for hope in a song or
a run or a deep breath
a punch or a two step beat
that could carry me 
away from absurdity 

you’d been smoking lots
and living in your head
cause at least you’d know
where you last left it
i’m left waiting for you to wake up
but you’re still dreaming of your next cup

but it’s never quite enough
you pour it out
but nothing will come
from an ever flowing cup
when you’re too fucked 
to fill it back up

left you alone 
or i did my best
not to water a garden
that didn’t want to live
there were signs of life
but it wasn’t my land 
and i had my own to tend
and i’d forgotten it 

well i played it back
in my head
again and again
not to do any harm
just to try and understand 
couldn’t find a path
that made much sense
just some half finished thoughts
and a couple new plants

i went looking 
for myself 
by myself 
and it wasn’t close to easy
but it sure did help
and my heart kept 
keeping time 
wondering where you were
and what was on your mind

but it’s never quite enough
i can think it and write it 
but it’s hard speaking up
i don’t mind the sweet and wasted time
the taste of your lips
and your smirk when you lie

but I try
not to get in the way 
and I try
so hard 
I evaporate 

a year passes 
and some seeds take root
your garden is growing 
and mine’s growing too
and the works not always fun
but it’s better than staring 
at the weeds and the mud

we left behind some pain
to get to the magic thing

Sunset

Sunset // Pedestrian Traffic

live sounds different! Feel different! Sing along different !

Slide into the velvet skyline,
silver echoes in my mind.
Neon rivers, floating sideways,
catch the whispers of the night.

Footsteps weaving through the shadows,
coffee steam and radio glow.
Every corner hums a story,
every breeze knows where to go.

Lay me down in liquid motion,
pour the stars into my hands.
I’m a passenger of colors,
drifting deep through velvet lands.

Lay me down in liquid motion,
sink me slow into the sound.
I’m a feather on the skyline,
never touching solid ground.

Mirrors dance on rainy sidewalks,
hazy faces blur and shine.
Golden pulse of secret alleys,
heartbeat ticking out of time.

Sip the smoke of hidden gardens,
kiss the edges of the dawn.
Tangled jazz behind the windows,
pulls me further, pulls me on.



Lay me down in liquid motion,
pour the stars into my hands.
I’m a passenger of colors,
drifting deep through velvet lands.

Lay me down in liquid motion,
sink me slow into the sound.
I’m a feather on the skyline,
never touching solid ground.


Never touching,
never falling,
only floating
through the skyline…

velvet skyline - venus on my mind ( live )

Forever Foxx

Written and performed by Sharon Lazibyrd, recorded live in my kitchen with a violin overdub. A song with non English words, a task I set for Sunday Songwriting. Commentary on where we are today. When I see the world, I think, what is this? 

In our world what's going on
Tear gas on the streets
Leaders who are lying to us
Intimidation feats

Quand je vue le monde
Quand je vue le monde
Je pense
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

What will be the new normal
Is this pride before a fall
Are we driven to test our sight
To find out what's wrong from right

In our world what's going wrong
Fake news and trite tweets
Crisis and mismanagement
Nationalism heats

What will be our rally call
Are our eyes right off the ball
Can we unite what us divides
Stem the fears we keep inside

Quand je vue le monde
Quand je vue le monde
Je pense
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Quand Je Vue Le Monde
