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 17th 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/batch386

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.

Stevie Wonder - Don't Make Me Wait Too Long [The Reflex Revision]

Is This Whatcha Wont?

Don't Make Me Wait Too Long

Duotones

Don't Make Me Wait for Love

Don't make me wait(i'll keep wait for long)

They told me to dream big
So I dreamt of the sun
And its gravitational pull
its gravitational pull
And all the life it breathes into everything
And its gravitational pull

How can I ensure when I am fully grown
That the Milky Way will make room 
So that I can ever-glow?

How can I be centre of this universe 
(I know I know)
How can I be anything but disappointed?

(I can't match up, I can't match up, to any of my own...)

And now it's reached the stage
Where I am jealous of birds
and their levitational art
and their levitational art
And how their lightest hearts
Can help them reach the stars
and their levitational artistry

How can I ensure when I am dead and gone
That my legacy endures
My reputation twinkles on?
How, when I explode, can I shoot eight million eons?
Then how can I get further still?

(and yeah, I think I was about 16 when I learnt about the greeks and mythology and how they could talk mostly deeply about what it means to be a human being... and I learnt about Icarus and all of those events before his fall.... and I wondered... and I kept wondering.... and I kept wondering... how he must've felt in those few minutes just before he melted... to be the highest one... to be the highest one... to be the closest one...)

Icarus

From the new album 'Seven for A Secret' out 01/01/20 in all digital stores. The first track on the album, it sets the scene for what's to come. The album tells the tale of two murders from the perspectives of the people involved. Produced by Gavin Monaghan (The Blinders, The C33's, Pagans SOH)and recorded at Magic Garden Studio, Wolverhampton. The album started life as a rough screen play which spawned a song and grew into a full album. Next stop is a graphic novel and/or video clip if funds allow.

Fire On At Me - T.E.G


“I’m on my way home, I want to get back,
I know it feels good, and I don’t wanna leave”

Fire on at me if you don’t have more to say
Come and get it cos you’ve got nothing to stay
You and I both know that it don’t work this way
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
We both got reasons but these reasons aren’t enough
It’s my vendetta and yours, you just had it rough
But things are changing and though I know it’s tough
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Here we are -  away from home
I close my eyes I visualise 
I wanna go home
Not on your own - but fighting solo
The end is near, I feel the fear
I wanna go home

We take our prisoners who just want their release
They say they’re sorry but we’re not easy to please
Their freedom’s ours and we’ll sort ‘em out with ease
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
Any action will so make you pay the price
So no decision is without sacrifice
Just ‘cos I pity doesn’t mean I am nice
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Feel these tears, they’re filled with rage
Fell off my horse I’ve got back up
I wanna go home
Don’t pretend, that your not scared
This war right here’s been on years
I wanna go home

Don’t think you can stop me
I am trying and succeeding 
You cannot see me I’m invincible
And I stop stop wanna come home

Fire On At Me

Lyrics

V1
paint me in colours that you want to see
I'll be the person that you wanted to know before you met me
and I'll hold your hand until my blood runs blue
I'll be the person that you wanted to know, the girl you once knew

Pre Chorus
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I'm just a little stuck on you

Chorus 
oh I'd mould my brain to fit with yours
and I'd sing this song until my lungs are sore
oh I'm sorry if you're bored of questions 
and second guessing
oh I'm hopelessly asking for more
cause I'm not sure I love you really means that much at all

V2
tell, tell me something is on your mind 
cause I can't talk for the two of us and I know something isn't quite right
and is this how I'm meant to spend my time
oh staring into dead eyes wondering if I cross your mind

Pre Chorus
oooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I guess I gave it all for you

Chorus

Outro
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I just can't give it all for you

ALEX CARROLL- Paint Me In Colours

Denney - Who We Are - Lyrics

In another life
I think you and I
Could be perfect together
For the hell of it
Why don’t we admit?
Cause it’s not like forever

And we’ll keep it friendly
But not overwhelming
And someday I think it won’t hurt
You’ll be an artist
And I’ll find it hardest
To wake up and know my own worth

And I guess life goes on
Even if you’re long gone
I know you’re not what I want
I just miss the way you loved me

All the little things
That you gave to me
A paper necklace on string
I’ll keep you in a box
With other things I lost
You were so good to me

And I’ll think about you
Whenever I want to
Except on the days that it stings
One day I might get
Myself in a nice dress
And bump into you on the street

But I guess life goes on
They said it so can’t be wrong
I know you’re not what I want
I just miss the way you loved

I know I let you down
But in three years from now
When I call you to see how you are
Cause I’m lonely as hell
And you might be as well
Will you tell me it’s just who we are?

And I guess life goes on
Even if you’re long gone
I know you’re not what I want
I just miss the way you loved
Me
Me

Who We Are

made this demo and thought it sounded quite spooky ;)

Make Believe - demo

That's Not Enough (feat. Lil B)

Some people are lucky to experience some kind of chemistry with someone else. Telepathy is about this special bond, like being on the same wavelength, knowing what the other person is thinking or finishing each other’s sentences.

With yet another London lockdown and our social life on stand by, 
this year has made this more challenging but I have no doubt that what connects us all as human beings will bring us back together.

Lyrics:

...

With a heavy heart we’re gonna live it
Baby you said you wanna get with it
You don’t have to give a reason
I’m with you all the way

Arms up and complicit
Whatever we feel we’re on the same level
Guilty and forgiven
You’re with me all the way

Don’t be afraid anymore
I wanna talk to you
I’ll be right there for you, for you
I’m totally into you

You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)
You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)
I’m totally into you

…

Well I cannot wait another minute
Baby I’ll meet you no social limit
Easily made decision
I’m with you all the way

I hear your words and wishes
Baby you’re sweeter than sugar, delicious
I’ll treat you like no other lady
You’re with me all the way

You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)
You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)

You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)
You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)

…

I wanna talk to you

Oh we are connected
Our predestination
Telepathic emotion

I’m totally into you

You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)
You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)
You’re with me all the way

You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)
I’m totally into you
You’re on my, you’re on my mind
(give me your love you won’t need to walk alone)

...

You’re with me all the way

Fall Asleep

9 artists, 4 languages, 1 message!

Music is one of the purest forms of unity we have to help us share our human experience with others. I came up with this single Pangaea as a way of illustrating the unifying power of sound and music. 

When we share our happiest moments with each other through music, we don’t even need to understand the words to connect. We can trust the vibe, the body language and our other senses to reassure us we are in a good place with good people. 

End of charitable period:
Over £100 was raised for charity throughout September from the digital downloads of the Pangaea EP (an expanded project featuring songs by artists in this song) on Bandcamp! The charitable period came to an end on the 30th of September 2020.
